Go
In my own way I'm transforming this little corner
And some day when I get it all together I'll invite you over
And that voice in your head that's telling you no
Is gonna shout "go"
In my own way I stay honest by never speaking
And some day maybe it'll all be in the book you're reading
But I can't tell stories I can't tell jokes
So I'll just go
I my own way I'm tying to be better braver wiser
And some day I'll lay me burden down at the horizon
And when everything's ready don't you know
I'm gonna go
Go
Go
Go
Go

Existential Dread

Existential Dread
When the coffee wears off
And that existential dread returns
And all the things that I said I'd do they all seem impossible
When the drinking wears off
And that existential dread returns
And all the things that I promised you they all seem improbable
When the weed all wears off
And that existential dread returns
And all the dreams that I dreamed
They all seem unachievable
Drinking won't do it
Weed won't cut through it
I always knew it
When the adrenaline wears off
And that existential dread returns
And all the things I destroyed all seem so unfixable
When the endorphins wear off
And that existential dread returns
And all the dumb things I said all seem so insufferable
Drinking won't do it
Weed won't cut through it
I always knew it

What Are We?

What Are We?
What are we are the ones who were undefeated
The last ones standing ground
What are we are the enemies of your outrage
Conspiracies of sound
What are we?
What are we?
What are we are just waiting for the right moment
To send that message home
What are we are not making the rules here honey
You break them on your own
What are we?
What are we?
Remember where you found me
Underneath the stars
But your eyes and my eyes were locked and loaded
And your heart and my heart trigger pulled
What are we are so sick of this endless crazy
The lies that will not die
What are we are still trying to fight the power
The evil from inside
What are we?
What are we?
What are we?
What are we?

What I Want You to Want

What I Want You to Want
What I want you to want
What I want you to want
To want to be in love
No starry-eyed romantic love
Talking about overcoming
The darkness all around us
What I want you to want
What I want you to want
To want to understand
Yes sometimes it hurts to know
It's easier to let it go
To bury it in the sand
I'm no saint I've done some sketchy things
But love's my aim my soul has wings
And I could fly if you teach me
What I want you to want
What I want you to want
Is an offramp from war
Neither of us wants to fight
It's not too late to make things right
Like they were before
What I want you to want
What I want you to want
Is to want me as I am
Could do better could do worse
But know this That I loved your first
Before the world began
I'm no saint I've done some sketchy things
But love's my aim my soul has wings
And I could fly if you teach me
What I want you to want
What I want you to want
Is beside the point
Tell me what do you want?
Then please tell me what
You think about me
I'm no saint I've done some sketchy things
But love's my aim my soul has wings
And I could fly if you teach me

Earth Shaker
Stop drop everything, a storm is about to start
Find your happy place and I'll meet you in the dark
Lock the doors behind you unbaricade your heart
Are you ready for an earth shaker?
Tumbling down the walls we made up
Everything we do will last forever
They can't save you now, I don't think they ever could
Best to let them all go like you know you should
You've got business with me and I think it's gonna be good
Are you ready for an earth shaker?
Tumbling down the walls we made up
Everything we do will last forever
Let's keep our secrets safe when we're up against the wall
Hold my hand if you need to - I won't let you fall
What we save tonight is nothing less than all
Are you ready for an earth shaker?
Tumbling down the walls we made up
Everything we do will last forever

Giants
All this time you thought I was kidding about dancing in the sun
You thought I knew there's no escape but I guess I thought there was
Got to admit at my age I'm carrying on like a fool
Like everyone else I've found a rut but I prefer to call it a groove
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Like there's nothing to invent anymore
Rifling through dead memories
Now what are you looking for?
You've spent too many years pretending
You've forgotten what you're living for
It's hard to tell where the image ends and the real thing begins
It never fit so I changed my life just like a snake sheds his skin
It's too late now to go back the past behind me has closed
I'm shaking down utopias just to recover a perfect rose
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Like there's nothing to invent anymore
Rifling through dead memories
Now what are you looking for?
You've spent too many years pretending
You've forgotten what you're living for
Of politics and government I'm sick and so I'll sing
About the beauty of a kiss because that is everything
But I know this soft delusion is just a commonplace love
And our enemies will not pause for our private utopias
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Like there's nothing to invent anymore
Rifling through dead memories
Now what are you looking for?
You've spent too many years pretending
You've forgotten what you're living for

Are We Going to Fly?

Are we going to fly?
Are we going to fly or not?
We're standing at the cliff wound up
What's the hurry? We are free
What's the hurry for you and me?
Are we going to own the sky?
A spectacular goodbye
What's the hurry? We are free
What's the hurry for you and me?
Honestly don't compromise
We could do more than survive
Survive
Are we going to find our way?
Thought you said we had all day
Better hurry up and be free
Better hurry up for you and me
Honestly don't compromise
We should do more than survive
Survive

This is Not Even Rock and Roll
I'm a walking cliche with my guitar
I want to get rich and be a star
There's only one hitch: I'm getting too old
And this is not even
This is not even
This is not even rock and roll
Strange how estranged everyone's become
They can't understand what I am
And I'm not worthy of a microphone
And this is not even
This is not even
This is not even rock and roll
I'm thinking with guitar mind
Love to feel it unwind
Tell me are you inclined
To show me why you're do fine?
The hawk above the highway knows my name
The restaurant mirrors multiply my face
Back and forth to infinity I go
And this is not even
This is not even
This is not even rock and roll

Water Wings
High mark for water
Flooding the corridor
Why don't you hold your
Tongue until you see
How it's gonna be
Build a raft out of floaty things
I'll take my chances with water wings
Typhoons in winter
Tornadoes splinter
Now you begin to
Taste the ocean breeze
It's how it going to be
Build a raft out of floaty things
I'll take my chances with water wings
Build a raft out of floaty things
I'll take my chances with water wings

Suburbs of Paradise
Well the road not taken always beckons that's for sure
And the road you're on just leads you where you've been before
I don't know what's up or down
It doesn't matter in the end
I just want to go downtown
Where the lights are bright but I can't get in
Living in the suburbs of paradise
I tried to road of excess and the straight and narrow path
And the roads in between in the aftermath
But the roads they're all the same
They all just beat around the bush
And the voice that'll call your name
Might just be a whispered hush
Living in the suburbs of paradise
Down the street they sing in holy harmony
The air just breathes with the energy
But the cars keep a-rolling by
Blasting obscene radio
Oblivious drivers drive
And a mind thinks them as they go
Living in the suburbs of paradise
