Keeping On 04:11
Yes, I will admit I shall diminish As time allows You will not mind Or drop behind The receipt The wrong of my right Seeds the left of me Finding doubt surreptitiously In amber air And ginger skies You reach me less over time Carry my reflections in your pocket And leave in all directions As you do Leave my reservations on the table And keep on keeping on As you do An ode to the lost But not forgotten Sweet memories That take me there Or anywhere To retreat The palm of my hand Feeds the grief in me Getting lost so conveniently In amber air And ginger skies You reach me less over time Soaking in in loss And wild paging Through remedies That go nowhere But I don’t care I’ll repeat The pawn of my eye Breeds the least of me Getting caught so facetiously In amber air And ginger skies You reach me less over time Carry my reflections in your pocket And leave in all directions As you do Leave my reservations on the table And keep on keeping on As you do Carry my reflections in your pocket And leave in all directions As you do Leave my reservations on the table And keep on keeping on As you do

It’s a pewter afternoon What better time is there To walk around the park And stare at strangers There’s a street artist There’s a street artist Sitting across Across the pond He’s drawing a cheap soiree Of silky silhouettes That slowly fade away And swallow cigarettes Much like I used to do Much like I used to do Before I became Became eschewed Where is my accent? Maybe I left it in Texas The worst things are those That I’ll never know Who were my friends then And who are my friends now? The worst things are those That I will forgo It’s a dreary afternoon What better time is there To stroll around the block And stare at strangers There’s a lunatic There’s a lunatic Sitting across Across the street She’s talking to herself To remedy the pressure She’s burning papered news And drinking cabernet Much like I used to do Much like I used to do Before I switched to.. Switched to merlot Where is my accent? Maybe I left it in Texas The worst things are those That I’ll never know Who were my friends then And who are my friends now? The worst things are those That I will forgo Where is my accent? Maybe I left it in Texas The worst things are those That I’ll never know Who were my friends then And who are my friends now? The worst things are those That I will forgo Where is my accent? Maybe I left it in Texas The worst things are those That I’ll never know Who were my friends then And who are my friends now? The worst things are those That I will forgo

Dreams 02:51
An acquired taste for being alone And in my dreams I toss my phone While I revert and relapse from stolen rapture I withdrawal And I wrote some words to conjure and then capture Solitude An acquired taste for being alone And in my dreams I toss my phone While I revert and relapse from stolen rapture I withdrawal And I wrote some words to conjure and then capture Solitude

Swing 03:14
My only expectation Is a one for the winner My only consolation brings me back My every floating thought has A run through the filter The habits of the station I reside I sing and swing in the key Of an ever-changing motif I'm super glue and chamomile I'm Jesus Christ with prayer wheel I drum and strum to the beat I'm always stomping my feet I'm nothing new and nothing old I'm sinking through And uncontrolled When she talks to me I feel she's a dream And everyone I know Thinks I'm crazy While she's in my mind And pills bring her down Everyone I know Sees me shaking My clever incarnations Are too much for the average My many reservations bring me down My every fleeting muse has A run through the ringer The libel of the unintentional I sting and fling with the bees That could never understand me I'm casualty and carelessness I'm thinly sliced with heritage I play away with my mind in a superficial dropsy I'm riding on and tapping out I'm confident and bringing doubt When she talks to me I feel she's a dream And everyone I know Thinks I'm crazy While she's in my mind And pills bring her down Everyone I know Sees me shaking When she talks to me I feel she's a dream And everyone I know Thinks I'm crazy While she's in my mind And pills bring her down Everyone I know Sees me shaking
