He's got a gift for mathematics
and a subscription to "Space Magazine"
when his young eyes glance the moon
they get wet, occationally
His family's so supportive
which makes everything blurry
friendly words are hard to trust
when this Earth feels imaginary
Non the less he's happy
New diploma in his hand
that pretty speech was the last time
he recalls feeling ambition
Finds a spot in Texas
waits the space station to call
He refuses to make new friends
since he's destined for the stars
He says soon I will get to go to outer space
Nobody rings his doorbell
though he almost hears it once or twice
any person breathing that much silence
will forget their own voice
Magazines are piling
on the stoop by the telescope
He can't find time for recreation
between the work and the alcohol abuse
but there's still the smallest whisper
he can't push away
the question that supersedes
all the bullshit filling his days
He asks "when will I get to go to outer space?"

My fingers don't move like they used to
My back don't hold quite like it should
and the days rush by
like waves washing me up
If things keep going like they're going
I'd better square up in my trade
Cause no one gives a rip for
Clumsy carpenter calluses strumming strings
Man these days rush by
and they're leaving me behind
Maybe I've lost my concentration
Like how I zone on familiar streets
and my dreams roll by
like a train keeping me awake
I used to make this box my orchestra
Now I struggle for each note
If there was a time for quiting
Any moment now would be close enough
Man these days rush by
and they're leaving me behind

Give me a moment without searching
give me a moment without fear
a holiday from circumstances
when my destiny is right here
and right now
(now you can, now you must)
It's time, It's time that makes us strong
It's time, it's time gets us along
It's time, It's time to feel it strong
echoing
(now you can, now you must)
Let me trust the dead leafs falling
let it's wind fill up my sails
let me touch it but without grasping
and be content in all my fears
but not stay down
It's time, It's time that makes us strong
It's time, it's time gets us along
It's time, It's time to feel it strong
It's time, it's time to get along
without knowing
without understanding
without searching
without being searched
without memorizing
without being memorized
(now you can, now you must)

Go on and shed that shell that's made you who you are
Go on and shed that shell that's made you who you are
You can get it on back, if you happen to get off track
Don't you wanna know what it feels like?
Don't you wanna know what it tastes like?
You can get it on back, get it on back when you get off track
But now, just take a second
Don't you wanna know what it feels like?
Don't you wanna know what it tastes like?
Go on and shed that shell that's made you who you are
Go on and shed that shell that's made you who you are
Cause it goes deeper, it goes on, if you choose not to stop
(take it on back take it on back if you get lost..)

Boy, I was

"I felt hope
I felt love
I felt peace
like I belong",
Sang The-boy-I-was
The wedding feast
is dear to me
but it's not ready
so hold on steady
and make believe
with fog machines
Here's your fun, here's your music
welcome home to your community
(all packaged and ready)
You're reputation is a comfortable home
shake off your graveyard skin sing it straight from your heart
You're born again to be, to be to be
You're born again to live
Brother I love you, I'll save you if I can
Brother I love you, I'll kill you if I must
I'm under the gun
Your reputation is a comfortable home
shake off your graveyard skin sing it straight from your heart
You're born again to be, to be to be
You're born again to live, so live

Nothing Mattress

We concluded that nothing matters
that we'd all be dead in a little while
will the sun burn up this plastic earth?
or will we tear it apart first?
and if we lived full lives
we'd be forced to accept
our compromising hearts
..which is many parts
..but we're all trying hard
Electric world snuffed out my voice
Politics teach us to think in multiple choice
A damn algorithm decides what I see
You can hit like, or you can hit share if you agree
We're drawing lines
for our protection
but wifi keeps us
company in isolation
But the moon can't glow
the sun can't shine
your heart cant fit
through an 8-bit ethernet wire
..tho we're trying really hard
And in the between we have today
feeling pressure to make some kind of change
empathize unto death with the BBC
No strength for neighbors across the street
You try to find some solace
in this world of violence
without violating the conscience
of populations drop the act
nobody gives a damn
either way

Dont get sad since I am gone
Don't get mad, I still love you all
I'll be back, but not by my name
listen how, cause brother I've changed
it's like how The Turf Club
is now run by First Avenue
so like Palmers Saloon
I'm closing down
and coming out
December marks one year
since I took off to face my fears
and you kept me in your contact list
would you keep me if I came back and said
That I was a lie
but now I'm alive
That's what I said
The old me is dead
I can no longer say what you want
now that I've got my own feelings in my heart
No, it's not easy to say
But I gave up my choice, I'm coming out this way
Now I'm alive!

Tomorrowland

Having goals is quite easy
when you keep them in tomorrow land
One day later, I'll quit my vices
I'll grow up and act like a grown man
Step by step, and day by day
dreams are getting older, their edges getting frayed
sitting quiet in tomorrowland
I nudge em back another day with the knuckles on my hand
having hopes makes you lonely
when they're stuck in tomorrowland
Don't get shaped by the chasing
theres plenty in today that you'd be missing
Step the step, and seize the day
This world is unfolding like an epic play
Focus your mind like the ticking clock
Caress every moment like the wind and the tree tops
Caress every moment like the wind and the tree tops
Caress every moment like the wind and the tree tops

Don't get sad
03:00

I got sad cause my belly was empty
I got sad cause I broke my fast
I got sad cause I really wanted a cigarette
I got sad cause I bought another back
That boy's sad cause his parents are wealthy
that boy's sad cause his struggles are few
that boy's sad cause of high expectations
that boy's sad cause there's not a lot to do
Don't get sad He smiles on you
Don't get sad He's shaping you
Don't get sad you are, that you are
Don't get sad your story is His story
The Buddha's always happy if he's throwing up booze
The Buddha's always happy if his kids are on the loose
The Buddha's always happy if his rent's past due
The Buddha's always happy cause every day is new
Don't get sad He smiles on you
Don't get sad He's shaping you
Don't get sad you are, that you are
Don't get sad your story is His story

I'm living out my pastors dreams, all out of breath
they call it laying on down, but it's pretty far from rest
"My thoughts, they push and pull me", said I in distress
Maybe cause I've been spending my first 25 years jumping
between my one and two steps (talking about walks of life)
But you've held me down and you've held me up
I know that I contain the world, cause it's you filling my cup
You've held me dear, and you've held me free
You've given me everything I've needed with ease
Somehow I know I'll make it through all of my catastrophes
