The alarm goes off
roll out of bed, brush your teeth, brush your hair
dress yourself
Drink your coffee, eat your toast and eggs
it's time to go
Head to the car, buckle up and
put it in reverse
Turn on the radio station that plays that
same pop song
Take that route to work you know so well
it's left then right
Someone always seems to cut you off, so
flip them off
Arrive at work at nine
it's time to shine
work till 5
Back at home but something is pulling you
out the door
call up your friends seeing if they wanna
play all night
no one picks up, that's ok
you'd rather go by yourself
Next town over has an open mic
it's Monday night
pick up your guitar
it is time to shine
play two songs
to the drunks who don't know what the hell is
going on
suddenly you see a pair of eyes that
strikes/stops you blind
A half a smile that breaks you, makes you forget
all your night
got 5 seconds, make an impression and just
Swallow your pride
So try to buckle up cause
it's time to shine
Alarm goes off

Cebu Flower

Cebu flower perches on uncertainty
searches on distant shores
A dirty world does nothing
catch them if you can
before they disappear
Cebu flower is a lonely bird
human touch stains the nest
A dirty world does nothing
catch them if you can
before they disappear
flap away
flap away
and be loud
I'll find you someday
I'll find you someday
so be loud
sing away
and be loud

A Wet Match
02:14
|
|||
I'll talk with my hands
this unsettled dance
but who is to know?
wandering thoughts which will grow
Only once the one that counts
whatever decisions you will bounce
from the wrong one
from the right one
standing clear
from an awkward fear
Don't try to strike a match
while it's wet, don't regret
that you waited too long
to replace a song
all you need is a day
to crawl into that window
Face your fading light & save your energy
These days are comforting cause you believe in your dreams
Hope is not a word that you throw to the curb
Someone is listening
Someone is listening

Cairo Time
04:53
|

the past is my distant enemy
the present is my aging pet
the future is my lover
all that I know has gotten old
a let down cure
it's a little bit premature
A lover's coma
keep feeding the tubes
used up minutes
no response
It's you that I want
the past is my distant enemy
the present is my aging pet
the future is my lover
Don't end up in a box that you'll never open
Same place & same time
I resent this silence
presumed bored
familiar disappointments
used up minutes
no response
It's you that I want
step by step, Side by side
step by step, Side by side

Orion's Belt
04:26
|

We sense it all
stars dance as one
Don't stare at the suns
3 points away to float back home
Satellites chasing after me
Black fumes right in front of me
It's getting dark and cold
Orion's belt will guide us back home
Airless sounds
Give us a sense of now
Swimming through the stars
3 points away to float back home
Satellites chasing after me
Black fumes right in front of me
It's getting dark and cold
Orion's belt will guide us back home

Candle Trees

Cold souls in a winter's bloom
wanna escape on my hot air balloon?
A dim light across the way
freefall down half moon bay
Swim out and float with me
The wax moon over the open sea
You blew out the candle trees
you wished for it all
while you sit and dream.
You know I think we have done this many times
But we still don't got it memorized
If only a wish couldn't sense
all who beg
all who beg
I will not beg
Swim out and float with me
The wax moon over the open sea
You blew out the candle trees
you wished for it all
while you sit and dream
A faint smoke curl kinda looking like you
A faint smoke curl kinda looking like you

Nausea
05:42
|
|||
a room becomes a cell
closed bars on a bed
a boy who made mistakes
a home to escape
I'm dizzy with relief
Don't dismiss this feeling
I'm dizzy with relief
Don't dismiss this feeling
it's easier to pretend
it's easier to forget
Even an honest man must lie
his welcoming denial
Even an honest man must lie
his welcoming denial
I'm dizzy with relief
Don't dismiss this feeling
I'm dizzy with relief
Don't dismiss this feeling

Lonesome House

Wind down
Wind down
Wind down
Find me
in the lonesome house
On a hill
far from you
away from you
Find me
in the lonesome house
