The Future

The Future is now
Time is the moon and we are all cows
We talk in code
Mystic poets dressed in robes
Look through the screen window to the world
Nothing more to grasp or absorb
We exist inside a catalog
Cut out creatures doing a job
It’s the hand we draw, the roll of the dice
The role we play like cats and mice
I see your face
Always in a different place
Each day is a film
I’m sharing all my favorite stills
It’s the hand we draw, the roll of the dice
The role we play like cats and mice
Back in the day we used to play outside
There was a tree I loved to climb
The future is ours
When we unplug we still have power

Cathedrals

Sunshine on the back of my eyes
The blue sky is a black hole
Swallowing up the afternoon
The timeline broke the hourglass
Stained the shards framed in cathedrals
Lay the sand in dunes
Whenever we’ll be we’ll be
Highlights tag the shaded trees
Reflected in symmetry
It’s a dynamite way
To spend a day at the park

Great Escape

Tell me about your favorite drug
How does it make you feel?
Like a shooting star, like falling in love?
Like every dream is real?
Send me a card on holiday
A picture of the sea
Make my troubles melt away
Like honey in my tea
Everyone needs a game to play
Everyone needs a great escape
Tell me a lie you tell yourself
I’m ready to believe
I’ll buy anything you sell… honestly
Waiting for Saturday
Makin my happy place
Lookin for lost relief
In my favorite memories

Don't Bother

Don’t bother to dress anymore
Bare-chested innocence
Strip my ego till it’s pure
Remove what didn’t fit
I am a skeleton
I am a womb
I am the elements
Under the tomb
Say “good morning” to big ideas
New possibilities
Say “goodbye” to all my fears
Shake hands with honesty
I am a telephone
I am the ink
Spelling out all those
Words that we think
Don’t bother to hide it
Don’t bother to fight anymore
Every moment’s a marathon
Gotta send a message
Declare myself a champion
Measure new successes
I am an acrobat
I am a pearl
A crystal ball
In the underworld

For All I Know

For all I know
It might not snow anymore
Who's to say if it will rain
If it will pour?
For all I know
It might not snow anymore
I've been growing
Learning new tricks like recipes and poems to recite
I got a new lamp
Changed the kind of soap I use to wash my body
For all I know
It might not snow anymore
Who's to say if it will rain
If it will pour?
For all I know
It might not snow anymore
I've been traveling
I took a trip to see my family
Damn it'd been so long
I took an airplane
It kinda scared me to fly this time
I don't know why
For all I know
It might not snow anymore
Who's to say if it will rain
If it will pour?
For all I know
It might not snow anymore

Department store romance
Fitting room hookup
We'll look at the rings
I'm feeling good luck
Coming our way like a new pair of shoes
Vibrating heart like a vintage cartoon
We'll take my car
But you can drive
Collect more goods to stay alive
Water the plants
Sleep through the night
I'll rub your back with oils
You'll sing me to sleep
Try to keep each other spoiled
It heart is never cheap
We'll take my car
But you can drive
Avoid the crowds
We'll go late at night
Looking a bit like zombie brides
Department store romance
Fitting room hookup
We'll look at the rings
I'm feeling good luck
Coming our way like a new pair of shoes
Vibrating heart like a vintage cartoon

New Year's Resolution
03:18

The kids aren’t in school
The government thinks we’re fools
So I’m learning to make my own bread
And spend lots of time inside my head
Got out the sketchbook
Played all my favorite records
Practice meditation
It’s like a vacation
My neighbors joined a book club
They’re not givin up
No they’re not givin up
No we’re not givin up
Lookin for a solution
We live in a new year’s resolution
