Oleander Season
Written By Fictional Name
It’s oleander season
The cold is turning cool
The reeds are getting sharper
Lying in the pool
Millions of fireflies
Coming from the east
Songs of tomorrow
Songs of the beast
It’s oleander…

(Don’t Know Why) I’m Happy I’m Alive
Written By Fictional Name
Maybe if I just spent my time a little wiser
I could write myself a reminder
Frostbite has taken both of my thumbs
Language is what they're afraid of
It's a game of mystery…

Such A Bad Way
Written By Fictional Name
There’s some wine in the closet
There’s some beer in the fridge
Some people coming over
You know how it is
With all of the features
And of the fraud
Didn’t you miss me
Breaking all sorts of laws…

I walked away
from the choices I made
I'm lucky I can get old every day
A surprising reminder
I wish I had been kinder
In the words I never chose to say
Just listen to suspicion
Just go and pack…

Auto Machine

People there are machines
Same thing everyday
Slowly losing feeling
Until they get paid
But can't dare mention or question
What is a living wage?
And no emergency savings
To get out of this…

Waiting is Living

Wandering out of innocence, they look at you and lick their lips. I'm drunk as hell with shivers in my spine.
It could take awhile, feelings in aisles, forming lines for many miles. So, say things…

Great band. My brother and I listened to them on KCRW when driving around LA in 2009. Give your leftover change from the ice cream savings away.

This is unfinished and may need to be put to something other than a 12-bar blues, although it was fun to play. The words, blues, and voice don't quite go together but since I committed to writing and recording 5 songs in the month of February…

Music is one of my joys. I come late to it, so this is my story.

Going crazy with LFO's on everything and pitch shifting a voice recording of mine. It is sound painting. (or at least I hope so :)

This is my first complete song and it still needs lots of polishing. There are a few timing issues I need to resolve and some gaps to put in and omit. I also want to re-record my chorus vocal... but for the sake of getting something submitted…

It's been so long
I can't remember
What I said to you
You probably don't either
You're walking away

The dust in her rings
I try not to think about them
I want to float through the clouds on Saturn

You were in my dream the other night
We talked for a while
We fell in love
Then I got bored, and left the house
Then I came back, and you were out
Things were rocky from that day
We didn't talk to each other so much
I felt so bad for having…

I know
What it's like
To suffocate
When there's not any air
Left outside
Watching daylight leave the atmosphere
As long as you're there
I won't need my lungs
Your wind's whistling to my hum
The cold hydrogen, helium
Poisons me
Now…

Love
How do you find me
You manifest in dances
And my dreams
Worn
Worn out the windows
I can't see you
Love anymore
Breathe
In then exhale
When I'm around you
I forget
Tear
Down the flyers
If I can't see them
I'll be okay…

My mood keeps changing, something's broken
Maybe it's you
Maybe it's not
I try to replace it, let the clean air in
But I feel so cold
Maybe you do too
I'll think about messaging you sometimes
But then I don't
I'm too scared to

Every day is drifting further off
I can't get you out
Of my head
These feelings come and go all of the time
Sometimes they fade
Then I see you again
Oh I've always loved you and him together
I hope that doesn't change
But I can't keep…

I can feel Saturn pull me closer to her
I can't see her rings, but I know she's there
Am I floating
Am I tethered
Are we moving
Are we still here
Am I floating
Am I tethered
Are we moving
Are we still here
In my heart, I know you…

This is a simple song
Here stands a simple issue
You right or wrong
The hurricane will beat you
This isn’t long
The shortness will acquit you
The end it comes
Give all there is no redo

In a lost scrap of rude time

Seeking out naught but truth
Grumbled wasting

True in a way
Let every thought come in clear
