I want to 
be sober 
But the sight of you makes me drunk

You're truly

Oh a Catch-18, a Catch-18, a Catch-18- as in something you will not end up being
Baby I'm hopin' that you're not a Catch-18

Girl you lookin' so fine, wish that you would look my way
You got a great smile and unforgettable eyes
Mouth wide open better shut it quick and bartender please can I get another napkin
I know it isn't cool, time to wipe the drool from my chin

I'd make you
my Queen
You are one

We could be
royalty

Together, to-oo-oo-oooo-gether, together baby, together in a suburban castle
That is to say we could scrounge to pay for a house together

Eyes wide open I'd better get a handle
My heart's all aflutter flippin' all around in your hands
Girl you ain't a burden but I'll surely be a hurtin' if you let go
Don't close that curtain I wanna keep seeing you show meeeeeeeeee
Your lo-o-ove, la-lala-la-la-love, your lalala-la-la-love, oh baby your looooooove

She Likes To Run
She play my heart strings
She got me singing
She's making music through me

She got me hopeful
She rock the boat just so
The water waves, hearts beat, away we row

She got me plotting 
On how to woo her
She got me trying to impress her

Now all that I want
Is just to kiss her
Communication stripped of all words

:She likes to run through my mind
She likes to run all the time:

She make me want to
Study her movements
Study her voice as we make music

She know the secret, shhh
The one that I know
The one that we made, on that night in the cold

She opens up like a flower
Give her sunlight
And allow her

She introduced me
To a new love
Enter sunshine from up above

:She likes to run through my mind
She likes to run all the time:

She play my heart strings
She got me singing
She's making music through me

She got me hopeful
She rock the boat just so
The water waves, hearts beat, away we row

:She likes to run through my mind
She likes to run all the time:

Joie de Vivre
You once told me
You loved the world
You told me true
You loved a girl
You walked the streets
Grinning properly
Where oh where did that joie de vivre go?

You grew up well
You walked a straight line
You sometimes fell
But you got back up just fine
You had a dream
You held fast to your heart
Well tell me when did the bleeding start?

Joie de vivre ah ah ah
Joie de vivre lost
Joie de vivre ah oh ah
Joie de vivre

The more I look around
I see ash and frown lying all around me
Layering the ground
I obsess about death as much as Aurelius
Sometimes it chokes up my throat as I clamor for my breath
I think of all of the time that came before mine
And wonder from what really and where to as well?

Joie de vivre ah ah ah
Joie de vivre lost
Joie de vivre ah oh ah
Disillusionment gained

Whistling Solo

Sittin' on an axis on this populated planet
Sippin' cups of dark matter for the effects fantastic
Watchin' all the wide world's wonders
Slippin' not so slowly under
Headin' piece by piece back into the great galactic

Joie de vivre ah ah ah
Joie de vivre despite it all
Joie de vivre ah oh ah
Joie de vivre after all

Joie de vivre ah ah ah
Joie de vivre despite it all, oh whoah oh
Joie de vivre ah oh ah
Joie de vivre!

Drum Mallet Antennaed Lovin' Alien

She's made of kisses, she makes me happy, quite
She's misses can't be matched, no others need apply
She's misbehavin' on my bedroom dance floor
And when she ain't I ain't but thinkin' fond of her

She's my Drum Mallet Antennaed Lovin' Alien
You would've had to be there to understand
She's my Drum Mallet Antennaed Lovin' Alien
Once I knew I started drawing up a plan

She's made of smiles, every single one a gem
I don't have to dig to find the shining likes of them
She's so damn pretty that there certainly be
A poem inside every atom that is she

She's my Drum Mallet Antennaed Lovin' Alien
You would've had to be there to understand
She's my Drum Mallet Antennaed Lovin' Alien
Once I knew I started drawing up a plan

Like I said, this girl is an alien
With alien tendencies
I fear she'll leave earth in her spaceship one day
To some gorgeous planet that's off limits to me

She's my Drum Mallet Antennaed Lovin' Alien
You would've had to be there to understand
She's my Drum Mallet Antennaed Lovin' Alien
Once I knew I started drawing up a plan

I seem to always know exactly what she's thinkin'
She seems to send her thoughts through air into my brain
She know the right ways to put me right at ease
Light hearted goofy girl of a beauty few can reach

She's my Drum Mallet Antennaed Lovin' Alien
You would've had to be there to understand
She's my Drum Mallet Antennaed Lovin' Alien
Once I knew I started drawing up a plan
Once I knew I started drawing up a plan...
To keep her right here in this planet with this man

You Can't Worry The River
You can tell the river that the water is gonna leave it
But the river knows the water just continues on downstream
P-p-p-pushed by all the other water fillin' up the riverbed
That shines under the current when the clouds are not currently overhead

:You can't worry the river:

You can see the river smile even when drought is starving it
The river has been around and knows eventually the clouds will get
Too heavy full of rain and when their cloud fabric can't hold the store of water
Then the seams will break and flood the riverbed below, my friend

:You can't worry the river:

You can tell the source that all its water is gonna course into the river,
Round the bend and down the mountain where it ends up in the ocean
Vast churning blue black and white, keeping secrets locked up tight inside its insides,
Ya the deeper down the less light the more likely you are to find your true self
Silly child you can't worry the source
It's the river's mother and she'd give her life to let her daughter run her course

Even if the hands of man make the river stop by way of building up a water dam
It'll only take time for the river to erode the stone and reclaim all it once called home
To break, so to speak, the break that stopped the free circulation of the river from the source to the ocean,
From the mother to the daugther out into the deep wide, the deep wide open

You can't worry the river
You can't worry the source
You can't stop the river, no
From flowing its course, from flowing its course

You can tell the source that all its water is gonna course into the river,
Round the bend and down the mountain where it ends up in the ocean
Vast churning blue black and white, keeping secrets locked up tight inside its insides,
Ya the deeper down the less light the more likely you are to find your true self
Silly child you can't worry the source
It's the river's mother and she'd give her life to let her daughter run her course

You can't worry the river
You can't worry the source
You can't stop the river, no
From flowing its course, from flowing its course.........

Black Leather Black Hole
She carries a black hole in her hand
Fills it up with her particulars
A black hole with a black strap attached
That she sling over her womanly shoulder

Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole, oh no!
She give to it but it don't like givin' back

Deep inside the black hole that she holds
She got almost everything she'd ever need
The problem is, black holes swallow things
That they don't give back, ya what they take they tend to keep

Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole, oh no!
Holding tightly sweet Maria's things

It's like a person who keeps their mouth shut
Like a muddy lake to your average swimmer
Like a land-locked cave to a creature of the sea
There are secrets to be found but they're just out of reach

Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole
She carries it with her wherever she go
Her black leather black hole

Black leather black hole
Black leather black hole
She's lookin' for her keys and cursin' the purse below
Her black leather black hole
Black leather black hole

this old man ep 
~ (7-song EP, plus 1 bonus track available exclusively through Itunes)

Off The Top Of My Head
You know, you know, you know what you know
And you feel something real as it tugs at your soul
Oh you know, you know, ya you surely do know
At least a couple of things well
So you go where you go and you know that it’s wrong
But you do it anyway because you feel that you don’t belong where you’re at
and you’re sad
You just figure that you’re bigger than you were before
At least that’s what you tell yourself so you can get right through that door
for more 
Oh you know what you know and you know that it’s wrong as hell
But you go over still and you spill yourself on the floor
You want more, you want more
Oh she knows what you know and she gonna keep that to herself 
Cause she also wants the same damn thing that you keep on bringin’ to her
And she knows if she told it to the world it might go away for good 
And she couldn’t live without that right now
Oh I know what I know and you know what I know
And we’ll keep what we have under wraps for as long as we can
Cause we like this lie that we keep together 
But it’s taking us apart, piece by piece, day by day
And it’s gon’ take us down to the grave one of these days
We might need to get gone this lie and find a new way to get by
Or the more that we’re takin’ will not take us any higher
Ya it’ll take us apart, apart  
This thing that I know I want it to go
I think we should let it fall
This thing that you’re keepin’ that I keep on givin’ out
I think it needs to fall
But I don’t want such a beautiful thing to run away
Cause I’m sad, I’m sad, I’m so damn sad
I just hope I can make it to you again someday 
But for now I must go, take this thing I know to the grave
I’m gon’ die today, I’m gon’ die today, let it die today, let it die
Let it die today, let it die today, let it die...go away…

Short Story Of The Mighty Axe
It's all over now, the mighty axe fell
Welcome to this temporary hell
You'll be prisoner as long as it hurts
As long as it breaks you down, as long as it burns

Words, words are worth nothing now
Not after all the words we spoke that broke us down
In a perfect world, this would all be solved
In a perfect world, this would all be solved
In a perfect world, this would all be solved
In a perfect world, this would all.......
It would all be solved

In a perfect world, this would all be solved
The politics would not matter
The benefits would pay to save what shattered

This Old Man
This old man, he played one
He lost his cool in the blazing sun
Over-easy all the way down
He hitched a ride on a rain cloud

He was just wondering what your name was
Forgive that he dropped his jaw and his glass cup
I was just overly shocked by
The reflection of me in your eyes

This old man, he played two
He lost his love for a different view
He saw what he was meaning to see
But lost the person that he used to be
This old man fell into the sea
To ride the waves as a nobody

But it all comes back around
Ya, it don't stay kept forever
And the fog that was so thick and suffocating
It's a pawn that will fall at the hand
At the hand of your king

This old man broke his back
Imagining what he ought to have
But that's o.k. because the story goes
He just relaxed and got ten-fold

He got just what he needed
It's not all about perfection
To shape a man it takes mistakes and mending
The endless drag will not be my ending
Oh the endless drag will not be my ending
No the endless drag will not be my ending...

Wednesday's Away
Honestly,
What did you believe was Wednesday's point?
Did you think that it would lead some place?
Did you know that it would slap you in the face?
I bet you weren't expecting that.
Wednesday's away, Oh, Wednesday's away...

How could you have known that it would be like that?
You couldn't have known that it would hurt so bad.
You could have died!

Calm Amongst Storms

Instrumental Song

Between The Steam Lines
The cold got in through an open window
In the morning, soft and gray
She got up to make her coffee
She takes it black, she's sweet already
Mr. Newsman, where's the paper?
How am I to pass the time?
I guess I'll read between the steam lines...
For what it's worth, they read the same

And after all the black is inside
Eyes dilated, body charged
She grabs her orange hooded sweatshirt
She leaves the kitchen and goes outside
Down the alley to the train station
Up the stairs, across the bridge
Down to the water so full of stories
So full of moving mystery

The wind won't keep its static voice down
The lake like glass in a blender 
Ain't no water holding focused pictures
Trees stripped of summer leaves
She plays follow the leader
Snakes between the heaving lakes
She follows a red leaf to a chain link fence
And then climbs over into the cemetery

She walks alone down the aisles
Of carved stone and towering statues
They mark the past that we'll all be a part of
Bodies trapped in dirty coffins
No more worry, no more breathing
No more sadness, no more pain
She takes off her hooded sweatshirt
To feel the cold pouring rain, rain, rain, rain
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
An Open Case
An open case,
An empty carrier for the lover that holds me whenever I need her to
So for a moment I forget life's sad
As I bleed from my fingers the worries I had
Oh it all gets so heavy and more so when you are not here

I meant what I said, every word of it, world
The flat mediocre is crushing my shoulders
I need to feel the rain on my face

The look upon your face is hidden in a the bedroom not too far away
I'll be there someday, I know
But for now I must go, I must just go to sleep
So that I can wake up for work tomorrow
And I'm not late, oh it's important baby

Darling
I really like your make-up
I'm not talkin' bout mascara
I like what your mind's made of
Your personality
Oh and you're pretty
Pretty swell for an actress
Reaching deep to wow us
Keeping up the drama
Weeping like you're not wrong
Oh who am I kidding?
This song is me bidding
You farewell my dear
Darling
I really hate to leave you
But that is what I must do
I can stay no longer
Darling sadly it's over

How About That 
~ (8-song LP)

How About That
I wish I were a window-washer
So I could be high all the time
Without any after-effects
To screw up my mind
But then again I fear the position
Of being high up in suspension
Depending from sky-high scrapers
In concrete jungles of fun
So maybe I’ll become a pilot
Soar through the majestic skies
Gaining rushes of adrenaline in constance 
But then again
High can feel alive
But can kill you in the same breath
I’ve been alive and dead within the same breath
What’s real can only be so
As long as you don’t let go of hope
I don’t want to be an elevator operator
With all the ups and downs
That would push my buttons
And floor me into the ground
But maybe a truffle chef
Creating aphrodisiacs
Getting my high from making others happy
Gaining from giving perhaps
Perhaps I’ll try my hand at
Becoming an architect
Shaping things into the shapes I choose
Creating versatile structure for all to use
Ya, wouldn’t that be something
To create structures around space
They might marvel at the sight of it
But only use what you did not create
And what’s real can only be so
As long as you don’t let go of hope
What’s here can only be near
As long as you can cope
And I feel the way I do 
For the way I’ve traveled through
This world to arrive at being 
Myself standing next to you
Maybe I’ll become a traveler
Trip my way across this earth
Getting my high from breathing beauty
Of nature for all of its worth
And it’s worth so much ya
Or maybe I’ll become a critic
Sucking the marrow out
Of precious things of importance
Well how about that
Well how about not
I could smoke or I could drink
And I could bring myself to the brink
How about that
Well how about not
How about not
How about I go to sleep instead
How about that 
Because tomorrow it will be a new day
How about that
Ya, well I’m o.k.

Patience
Baby you think that you’ve got it bad
But just think of all the good times you’ve had
I know together we can weather the weather
You take your time to make me wait
But I wait it out to make you take it back
Baby you’re looking a little sad
So maybe you should come to my pad
I know together we can get down to leisure
I take my time to make you wait 
But you wait it out to make me take it back
I’ve got more patience than a hospital
But not when it comes to getting down
You create a great vibe that persists to surround
Lately I have not been relaxed
See my emotions they’re being taxed
I need your hand so I can get past the past
So take my hand and hold it tight
And vow to be true whether day or night
And I’ll take yours too and grip it intense
Just vow to be you until heaven decides
It can no longer live without your presence
I’ve got more patience than a hospital
But not when it comes to getting down
You create a great vibe that persists to surround
We take our sweet time out of stubbornness
But why don’t we cut that out and just fall in love
And then...
The moment had a baby and it grew up fast
The baby was an arrow that Cupid had cast
The arrow was tipped with an undying love
Standing still not a word was spoken
Amber and tourmaline were wide open
We became the pivot of the galaxy, yes we did
Two became one and One became us
Now can we please get down to leisure?
I’ve got more patience than a hospital
But not when it comes to getting down
You create a great vibe that persists to surround
I've got more patience than a hospital
But not when it comes to getting down
You create a great vibe that persists to
You create a great vibe that persists
You create a great vibe that persists to
You create a great vibe that persists to surround

She’s got more body to her personality 
Than one can see through
Her eyes are formed of amber 
And her aura beams in blue
Her locks are coiled in spindles
Red as mercurial fire
Her lips they move majestic
All to fuel my hearts desire
She’s aspiring to be an actress

I’m enticed to be a writer
It’s spectacular spectacular
No other takes me higher

SuperceedingLe Ahsome
Ah, Leah Joy Owens can we meet again

She’s got style; she’s got class
She’s got energy to last
Such an unbound sleepless beauty
Stunning all that hap to pass
Leah took me by the eyes
And shook blank into surprise
So I no longer wander aimless
Under unappealing skies
Begins the cycle of outright
The spinning merry go round
The bursting thoughts of brightness
For the love we both have found

SuperceedingLe Ahsome
Ah, Leah Joy Owens can we meet again

So far the velocity at which
We travel through this sea
Of waves higher then emotion
And waters vicious deep
Has only solely in its rolling
Been seen to ascend steep
:I cannot for the life of me think of a day
We have not hung out this week::::

You're standing on the rooftop, screaming to the moon

And send it to a speaker
The speaker then can push the exact sound into the air we breathe
No one listens better than a microphone (x4)

Love in a mist

I was trying, that night, to travel
Across the ocean of “Hold-on.”
To emerge out of the tides
And arrive at being Freedom by your side
This might sound funny
But it met me with solace
The door aside I met your eyes
And I was speechless
I tuned your old guitar
To play to your intrigue
Hoping in silence that you’d like me
You spun my mood better than my ring
And with your elbow started flirting
We breathed the night
We braved the cold
I took your hand
Beneath the lights
We met Tempo
And then began
Dancing close perchance to know
The feelings of the other
You’re too cute you softly spoke
And all else went to blur
We’re the soil for “Love in a mist”
You’re ambrosia to my lips
I believe we’ve started something for us
So full of life the butterflies are breeding
Pressed against your breast
I feel the beating of our hearts
It is the music that I melt to
The song that moves me onward
This might sound funny
But it meets me with a smile
I get high when your eyes hit me
Let this last more than a while
Lying down, standing up or moving around
As long as you are near
I’m so lucky for what I’ve found
Loneliness has disappeared
The hue was midnight-black
I arose from my pillow Dream
Atop the stage of my thoughts upon waking-
A light in the darkness
A memorized vision
The gentle caress of your eyes against mine
The warmth of your smile
A touch of happiness
A feeling of lift for this beginning
I believe we’ve started something for us
So full of life the butterflies are breeding
Pressed against your breast
I feel the beating of our hearts
It is the music that I melt to
The song that moves me onwards
We’re the soil for “Love in a mist”
And your ambrosia to my lips
Let’s plant our hearts in Eden
And become non-believers in Eclipse

The Rocks At The Bottom
Deep beneath the white caps, sea depths and blackness
Far below the slowly sinking sun
Well it's deep, deep down
So far down
You got me gagging on your shipwreck blocks the view
A slivered sunset trickles to my view 
You got me gagging on your shipwreck blocks the sun
You got me gagging on your shipwreck blocks the sun
And this is what you pressed on me
Deep beneath the white caps, sea depths and blackness
Far below the slowly sinking sun
Well it's deep, deep down
So far down
You got me gagging on your shipwreck blocks the view
A slivered sunset trickles to my view 
You got me gagging on your shipwreck blocks the sun
You got me gagging on your shipwreck blocks the sun
And this is what you pressed on me, this is what you pressed on me
I clicked the pen to the "off" position
Then flipped a switch to signal sleep
I wrapped myself in feathers
For the tears had made me feel so weak
Well I drifted from thoughts of loss
to dreams that I've all but forgotten
I was afloat last week but last night was a weight
that sunk me to the rocks at the bottom
It sunk me to the rocks at, sunk me to the rocks at,
sunk me to the rocks at the bottom
It sunk me to the rocks, sunk, sunk me to the rocks,
sunk me to the rocks at the bottom! Scat...
The rocks at the bottom of the ocean
The rocks at the bottom of the sea

The Final Cut
This song got kicked off of the album.
So I took pity on it and put it on this single.
Everyone falls short once in a while,
From the losers to the leaders.
And though this song didn't make the final cut
It'll make its cut right here.
This song got kicked off of the album!
