Kit 02:53
Give me a reason It won’t be hard I’ll jump in this car right now And if I’m being honest I’m living in the land of promise I feel like I’m becoming Thomas I need to be around the righteous I’m coming back now Forget about the money Forget about the merch sales No need to pass the hat around tonight I just wanna be surrounded By those likeminded To feel the love of all around In a mosh pit In my early 30’s My throat is sore And I’m barely hearing But I’m not so sure it’s not making me better I’m 16 years old In a Humboldt Park basement Crowd surfing with no one I know Losing shoes at the Metro Sneaking into noise shows To feel the love of all around

Its cooler by the lake they say But I’m getting hot Invisible lines We dare not cross But I’m not sure of what I’m thinking We’re just holding hands with everything Is anything constant? Is everything changing? Why am I talking? What am I doing? I say the same things Over and over Is this what I’m really like? I’m missing something But I’m not sure of what I’m thinking We’re just holding hands with everything We’ll link arms And then we’ll figure it out

What do you really want? Gotta work to keep your head up On and on and on and on and on again Cold case Work week gotta wake up early Pretty much ya just keeping going But then you figure it out I’m better when I try And I’ll try to try Take up the same space But we’re at a lower pay grade On and on and on and on and on again Park Place Coffee Payday Gotta pray the stay away Stay late Wake up early You said You’ll sleep when your dead I’ll sleep tonight and I’ll be better for it Payday Workweek Coffee Gotta pray the stay away
4.
Its a long way to go But you really gotta work late Everybody always tries But somebody is faking Getting home late at night But you call it progress Keeping up with the times But washed out with the tide Still can’t sleep Open-eyed No more night It’s a long way to go I swear I don’t have a problem Everybody all the time Focus on the focus Grinding just a little less I guess I’ll call it progress Keeping up with the times And washed out with the tide Still can’t sleep Open-eyed No more night Overtime I know I’ve gotta let it go The youth will scream Listen to her: Caution Profit Over Prophetic/Prophets See the people over everything

On the interstate Trying to get my head straight From these thoughts I have These thoughts I don’t want I don’t wanna try I don’t why Everything is gone What we think we had Is already gone What we thought was gone Isn’t leaving Every single breath Circling my lungs Is a friend to me Like the setting sun It’s not So gone I’m not Far off

Boardslide (free) 01:57
Since I was 11 I’ve never stretched enough My knees are gone My back is sore And elbow’s bleeding You are the one thing Holding on, over and over because I love it This thing’s Enough Cuz it’s what I want It’s not about catching up It’s about holding on I love to see the whole city You’re helping me To truly be I’m not done Not competing with someone Excited to have fun Try the things you love Everything is fine Focus on tonight Show a lot of heart Try the things you love
7.
Skateboard (free) 01:49
Let me grab my skateboard I always keep it in the trunk Am I getting too old I don’t know but my knees hurt everyday Well that’s okay The wax in my pocket ruining the drier Focus on the exercise I guess No need to figure out the rest Let’s go for a ride But only late at night Just go slow A curb is fine Do a backside boardslide It’s alright Weekend one-trick line Pushing slow Simple life Do a backside boardslide Go tell everybody Sitting inside, lonely I’m going outside
8.
Old Friend (free) 01:42
I know we miss those days I still want to feel that way But I’ve changed If you want to go We can still go But we’ve gotta leave now When time hits Overcome with busyness our bond’s still strong We know That we are still holding on Our love is old I know we miss those days I still want to act that way Not just for everybody Also for me These things make me happy I will play on

Sunlit (free) 02:41
The broken The children The fearful Unseeing I’m trying I’m tired I’m thinking It’s fair We thought we figured it out 10 steps closer Shadows deepen Stretch thin and fade out We didn’t move and still we were exposed Like mice inside a room When the light turned on no exit in sight Running for slivers of darkness to hide in As the sun sets The heat is lifted It’s calmer now the sun is down We thought we figured it out Lungs filled deep with expectation But our chests soon cave in Everything we thought Everything we did Everything we know Everything we have Everything we are Everything we say Everything we dream It all ends the same way The sunset Repeating

Scene Mom (free) 03:17
Let it fade to gray You think you’ve got every eye But it’s okay cuz everyone likes it when you act that way You are your song So breathe in deep and let’s sing along A cornerstone We all need the things you’re making And everything you ever thought it was Does it need to be everything to me? You say I’m not my job until you need me to be The poet writes in polished words we’d never say Repeated phrase but everybody like it when I talk that way We are our song So breathe in deep and just sing along Creative overtones Vibrate from the way you’re living Taking keys Water cups Big long hugs Has anyone here seen mom? Perfect words Endless love Big long hugs Is anyone here scene mom?
