I Heard The Words
03:10

I heard the words
that you were saying
they rang out true
within my heart
I felt it true
for many lifetimes
and there my journey,
that's where it did start
I heard the times
your faith was shaken
but your heart
remained unchanged
saw in your eyes
the light awakened
I know that door
will never close again
[break]
I read a poem
about a temple
that was so far
many miles away
I heard the message
that they were singing
gotta trust your heart
it will be ok
I read the book
you read it with me
it filled the room
with all its joy
I read a passage
that got me thinking
all life is precious
it's not a toy
[break]
[ad-lib]

Messiah Complex

i find it so myopic
your stuck on psychotropics
well it's not the way
at the end of the day
coz you're always climbing higher
but you come back barely wiser
just a flash in the pan
you're a thought-loop man
when you come back with the message
gotta slow down, integrate it
to your waking life
(everything right on time)
if you come back the messiah
they're gonna set your pants on fire
coz your losing your grip
(take an ice cold dip)
i find it so confusing
you're scared of what you're losing
it's a fleeting state
did you read the gate?
coz we live in the temporal
when you go on through the portal
there's another side
so enjoy the ride

well you walk into the room
midst the furniture and gloom
so exciting
but you have something to hide
and they want you to confide
how they're pleading
the expression on your face
tells the sleeve about the ace
what a mystery
but i've got the telescope
and some modicum of hope
how enlightening
i want it (i've got it)
could you sell to me? (for a fee)
how much? (twenty-thousand bucks)
could you really find (i think you could)
happiness in little things? (why not? keep lookin')
well you walk out to your car
wishing on a shooting star
that's an airplane
you said "if it's up so high,
i think that it's worth a try"
ain't it something?
i said "what about the fuel that it's
dumping on Peru? lousy
tourists!"
you said "i don't really know, but you're
putting on a show, and i
love it!"

And The DJ's Neurotic

you get high and the dj's neurotic
tryin not to fly off the wayside with it
diggin in the crate for the beats that're bumpin
figure that it's late and the world stops turnin
i guess that i am gonna
sit in the back of the room today
(with my) headphones on, a playlist of favorites
(it's) just for me, but you're welcome to dig it
i guess that you
are gonna jive with the boogie if i put it on
(we can) get along, in the form of song
if the weather's fun, we can go for a run

feelin cranky
sleep it off
no more pancakes
sleep it off
stormy weather
sleep it off
ruffled feathers
sleep it off
lost your teddy
sleep it off
hate spaghetti
sleep it off
scraped your elbow
sleep it off
still no cable
sleep it off
when you feel you’re in it over your head
nothing better than going to bed
when you’re drowning coz you’re in it too deep
there is really nothing better than sleep
lonely sunday
sleep it off
don’t like monday
sleep it off
no vacation
sleep it off
hibernation
will pay off

come and sit at the dinner table
are you ready for a three-course meal tonight
nobody here is goin' hungry
we're gonna get the whole world fed just right
don't matter if you're wise or stubborn
we're gonna satiate your appetite
don't matter if you've got no money
it shouldn't be fight or flight
drowning in abundance
more things than we'll ever need, it seems
surplus inventory
why don't you give it up for free, beats me
drowning in division
you know we're cut from the same old cloth
trust your intuition
we cannot just hide when the world gets rough

i see you with that tesla
(but you) think you're gonna get a ride from me
you said it doesnt suit you
(then) why'd you go and pay for luxury
(you) thought it cheered you up, but you're
finding yourself stuck in the
same old attitude that brought you down
(you) thought it got you high, till you
saw it couldn't fly from the
worries that you keep inside your mind
i see you in the cafe
(with a) grande macchiato on the rocks
i think i'll stick with water
(coz its) not gonna tie my tastebuds up in knots
it doesn't bring you ease
like a block of cheddar cheese
coz you gotta do the work to slice it up
it doesn't feel to me like a
BLT-supreme when im
going through my rolodex of thoughts
"clear your mind and meditate sometime"
(im) going through my rolodex of thoughts
"all this ruminating, it really can't be healthy"
(im) going through my rolodex of thoughts
-----
nights like these i'm crazy bout it
(but im) tired in the day (so tired in the mornin)
(i'm) climbing up the stairs, but
they dont lead to anything, and
what else would i do if
i had nothing left to sing
(i've) travelled in my mind
to find it needs a mop and broom
(so) would you be so kind
(to) let some sunlight in the room

did you read the message
am i doing fine
am i reaching outward
feelin stuck inside
did you get the fever
were you getting high
in the midst of winter
have i lost my mind
sometimes it haunts me
(some)times i stare it down
(and) if my laugh's convincing
(i'll) turn it all around
(and) if it were to eat me
(i'd) play it all the same
(cant) shake my intuition
(it) all will be ok
[monologue]:
as the ground remains covered with snow,
and the days are still short
i cant help but feel grateful
to have a creative outlet, to get me through my own madness
but as soon as the snow melts, and the temperatures rise
maybe i'll stop with the whole "terminally online" thing for a while
would love to get some sunshine, and take some bikerides, finally learn to meditate? maybe.
reconnect with old friends? put myself out there more?
take my mental health into my own hands, at least a little bit.
as much as it stings to feel kinda "blah" in the winter,
it's an opportunity to appreciate the things that make the summers so relaxing
take care y'all
