KID SONGS C.O. 3/6/12 All I know about the KID SONGS Is that there has to be a Right - for every Wrong And in the End - We'll all get Along When we listen to the KID SONGS All I know about the KID SONGS Is that they should be Simple - They should be Strong Realize the Connection between us All When We listen to the KID SONGS – out in the hall What can you tell me 'bout your KID SONG PAIN? Were they all about dragging your feet in the rain? Or were they all about - NOT using your brain Or how the Rage takes Days to feel the strain~ What can I tell you 'bout the KID SONGS Repeating lines – Stuck in my head all day long Yes it makes me - wanna go and bang a gong When I think about the KID SONGS – all night long What can you tell me 'bout your KID SONG PRIDE? I always love it when you - Sing right by my side It makes me stronger when You Drum us out of a Slide When we take our new KID SONGS – out for a Ride

Short Stays 02:17
Short Stays C.O. 1/5/2010 When the shelling starts – you can’t hear the words for the void – that’s where the signals get destroyed Continue with the acting – un-kempt - just spent And with too much travelling – you said: Retreating to your bed on a bus seat See shining rivers through the vent heat Trace sky objects in fog - high over beams In the obscene arranged short stays between dreams Legs move under the seat – and veins pump constantly- Like the street - without rest Rend the old books and repeat – Try your best Stolen victory back from the beat – life is sweet – But, you’re just stunned – No rest – Time to come shallow for a top-side run - Ohh- what a mess…

I KISS THE SPACE C.O. 3/23/12 I KISS THE SPACE - BETWEEN THE FRAME WITH THE DOOR WEDGED OPEN - I FEEL AMAZED BUT I GET OVERWHELMED - THE BUBBLE BREAKS AND ALL MY HEAT STARTS TO DISSIPATE I KISS THE SPACE WITH A WIDE SMILE FROZEN ON MY FACE I FORGET MY H A T E - I FORGET MY R A G E I FEEL SO FAR AWAY FROM THE PAIN W H E N I K I S S T H E S P A C E . . . I CLOSE THE DOOR – AND WARM MY HANDS – BY THE FIRE ONCE MORE AND I WAIT – INSIDE AGAIN - TO SLEEP IN AWE – AND SOAR - I COUNT TO TEN I GET OVERWHELMED - THE BUBBLE BREAKS AND MY OUTLOOK RETALIATES I CAN SEE THE STARS - EVEN VENUS AND MARS THEY ARC AND THEY TRACE - AND I FEEL OUT OF PLACE

Small Wins 02:18
SMALL WINS C.O. 5/17/12 EVERY WIN - ANOTHER KNOT IN THE ROPE THEY HELP SHAPE OUR DESIGN OF HOPE SO WE CAN LOOK BACK WITH PRIDE THINGS CHANGE OVER TIME - WE DON’T ALWAYS HEED THE SIGNS PERHAPS – WE’RE NOT SO WELL DESIGNED EVERY DAY – EACH LITTLE BIT WE GET USED TO THE CHANGES WE GET USED TO THE GRIT AND WE GET USED TO AVOIDING ALL THE PAINFUL PITS THAT’S JUST IT – WE LIVE WITH THE RISK SMALL WINS HELP US COPE SO GATHER YOUR STRENGTH AND GO FIGHT AND WIN AND GLOW EVERY LOSS – EVERY DODGE-BALL TOSSED AND THERE IS NO-WHERE LEFT TO HIDE WHEN THE ENEMY LETS FLY THINGS CHANGE EVERY TIME - WE DON’T ALWAYS WIN – WE DON’T ALWAYS RHYME PERHAPS – WE’RE NOT SO WELL DESIGNED

My Money’s On You C.O. 8/26/11 American Dream – UnRedeemed – Seems it’s weakened Take for granted – We landed it – On the Moon Was it too late – Or was it too soon - Who knew? My money’s on You – BUT NOW I’M THINKING - THAT I CAN’T DECIDE I’LL JUST REACH OUT - AND I’LL CLOSE MY EYES Then why do I – get confused – every time another ruse Some say we snooze all day to hide our wounds and bad moods Was it too late – Or was it too soon - Who knew? My money’s on You – NO SURPRISES – I ALREADY KNOW WHERE WE GO – WE GO HOME TO THE THE PLACE THAT WE HOLD IN OUR CHEST FOR OUR OWN BUT NOW I’M THINKING - THAT I CAN’T DECIDE I’LL JUST REACH OUT - AND I’LL CLOSE MY EYES… I’LL CLOSE MY EYES…

Breakthrough 01:41
BREAKTHROUGH C.O. 4/30/14 A leading theory is that - As stupid as I am Something would have killed me Long ago Had I not learned – To keep my head down and my Profile low A well-known theory debate - What’s the worst thing to contemplate when the pressure’s on ? And everything I do feels second rate - I always hate it when I’m running late WAITING FOR A BREAKTHROUGH NEVER HAPPENS WHEN – YOU WANT IT TO DON’T WANNA CHALK IT UP TO FATE I WANNA FOLLOW THROUGH AND BREAK Evidence tells us – as confused as we are It’s amazing - that we’re here At All … We might have died from The Fall - from Grace it’s a long way down to THIS place No one debates that this life is a maze - Reward and Regrets See what happens next phase - We might still be OK and Happy Ever After - Is just outside these gates WAITING FOR AN OVERVIEW A TRUTHFUL PLACE – I CAN TUNE IN TO NOT ALWAYS FAKED – HIT YOUR GAVEL - AND RAKE THE RAKE PLAYBACK THE TAPE - LOCATE THE MISTAKE

Better Than Low C.O. - 2/6/2010 Home chemisty set – mix the red - Pumps in your head – Don’t rest the message – Back from the edges and forget to show your face… Make the best of a roast- Rake the roof of my mouth – on the Cleverest post – Unfolded – All the hyp-notic words - are conviently bolded – and it’s... BETTER THAN A LOW LIGHT PHOTOGRAPH The beam retrieves - the glowing grain beneath Stay on your feet - swept down another path And if, in the end – you’ve debated to hate me In the momentary glare – You refuse to face Me I’m with You there – I’m with You there… Anti-lock breaks – coffee so steely it gives you the shakes Head fakes –Dwelling so hard is a wretched mistake - Bargaining up all the gives and takes Mind strays – goes places where we don’t behave : Sane – in our place – self-K is equal parts pain and disgrace But the Glory awaits – past the Hate you can’t never Erase: BETTER THAN A LOW LIGHT PHOTOGRAPH The beam retrieves - the glowing grain beneath Stay on your feet - swept down another path And if, in the end – you’ve debated to hate me In the momentary glare – When You refused to face Me I’m with You there – I’m with You there…

CHAINSAW STAR C.O. 5/8/2013 I don’t wanna live in a trailer park Pine away in the wood, & chew on the bark Sing all your dirty songs after dark, after work I pine away - and make good in the day but every night I try to run away, I run away... I don’t wanna be a lumberjack's son Spend all my life on the run I don't wanna be the chainsaw star Cutting and splitting myself apart I don’t wanna live in a rural town I’d rather go back and put my feet on paved ground If things could ever go back - like before I could live simple, I don’t need much more Back to the city, back to the perks Sell off the pickup truck, go back to desk work I don’t wanna be a lumberjack's son Spend all my life on the run I don't wanna be a chainsaw star Cutting and splitting myself apart I don’t wanna chop down another park I don’t wanna run through the woods in the dark I don't wanna be the chainsaw star Cutting and splitting my life apart

Blue Screens 01:49
BLUE SCREENS C.O. 1/9/2012 That's why its so hard to restore you I know I always bore you won't just ignore you - when you come in from the rain anymore would be insane and a chore to learn more – strike and hold – mute your phone – Just put it on vibrate And all the blue screens keep us together apart All the blue screens keep us together apart That's why its so hard to implore you I know I always floor you won't just restore you - when you text in pain anymore would be insane and a chore to learn more – strike and hold – mute your phone – Just put it on vibrate And all the blue screens keep us together apart All the blue screens keep us together apart

It's a Gift 01:31
IT'S A GIFT C.O. 1/10/12 Jumble from the storm – is strewn cross the lawn Even though the car is gone And I thought I could be strong – Like King Kong But I was wrong – The odds were long – but then And I was ohh so wrong – again when we realize - It's a gift – I'd rather be awake at the end - It's a gift No need to drift - away I'd rather face the end awake Against gods and devils - and the march of time I unwind - for a brief time – rest sublime Guided only in my own mind Lost on a quest to find - The Grand Design I’m in a bind – I can’t decide – if I should cry - Or take to the sky I know I'll find out- Beautiful cause I get to find out What happens after this - Speculation ends - I know what’s missed- when the fits outweigh the risks Then I’ll have my Gift – It’s All a Gift - It can’t be missed!

Sky is Mine 02:14
THIS SKY IS MINE C.O. – 3/3/2011 This sky is mine - I’ve emerged Long time without light - Long Time… This sky is mine - I’ve converged It’s a good sign - This Sky - This Sky THIS SKY IS MINE - THIS SKY IS MINE Now I’m out - I claim this sky All I see with eyes – unshaded - I claim this sky… If I could only fly – I could see the whole hillside I’d rise - and smile So long underground - So long self-tied and bound Over and over - I’ve heard - only one sound Now I’m Found – Now I ‘m Found – So Profound - I’m Around – Now I can fly – In my sky – I can’t die – I can fly THIS SKY IS MINE - THIS SKY IS MINE
