I was a fool
For even leading you on
Making you believe
Whatever I wanted
It was such a hard time
For everyone then
Especially you
When you needed a friend
And I was your shoulder to cry on
Then I packed my things
And I was gone
This lonely grave
That you have dug
Can't be filled any fuller
So I pulled the rug
Out from beneath you
And it's not like I had
any intentions
to burn the bridge
Between us
But the gas
that now fuels this flame
Is the only thing I crave
And I'm sorry it had to come to this
But this target I now see
Can't be missed
Ill sit in silence
Until you take the hint
That what we had
was never real
Keeping you a secret
Never to be revealed
To anyone who might
Get the impression
That I could ever be
Seen with you in public
How can it be
Was it something I did
Or were you so lonely in the past
You needed something to give
All of your love to
How can you move this fast
Always making the first move
While being completely oblivious
That you're coming off as (c)rude
I'd rather die
Than look at you for one more second
Can you just give me a minute
To catch my breath
So now ill take this valuable lesson
And brush all the dirt off my chest
The most you'll get out of me now
Is an occasional glance in the hall
So try not to blow it
Because that was always your downfall
And I gave plenty of signs to show it
But you were always so blind
And I'm not sure if it was just
Sheer ignorance
Or trying to convince yourself
That we were ever going to work

It's 3 am
In who knows where
And I may have had
A drink or two
Traveling across east jabip
Hasn't been
As fun for you
I tried it all, Passed my way
Until I hit The glory daze
Exactly where I want to be
You Sitting back at home
Having a beer Right next to me
Now I may be blunt
And have had a few
But I'll get right down to it
I've been calling your
Damn name out all night
And you've barely looked my way
I never claimed to be a poet
But I do have a way with words
I'm not the greatest artist
But ill be sure to paint a picture
And I'm not a good guitarist
But you can bet your ass ill shred
Then ill kick you in the head
Tossing pennies in the well
Take me back to hell
What makes me so different
Is I'm not afraid
to be bad at something
Until I'm better
Then everyone else
I write these funny songs
But people can be so mean
Making you feel like you're wrong

Hey there little sister
Haven't seen you in awhile
The only thing
That Stands between us
Is 2400 miles
No matter how far
The distance
We will always remain close
So try your best
Not to miss me
You'll always remain the most
Important kid in my life
Try my best to
show you the light
No need to ever feel lonely again
Because I'm just a dial away
Anytime you need me
I'm going long long ways
Just to make you smile
Haven't seen you in awhile
We all strive for greatness
But do we really know what that is?
Fighting our way to the top
Only to find out that nothing ever gives.
I've been here a million times before
Searching in the dark
For that light trimmed door
The one that leads me on the right path
The one that shows you life ain't all that bad.
Lets take a bow and step stage left
Pushed back into the dark where we once began,
Discovering the path was here all along
You just have to take my hand.
This road is filled with cracks and bumps
So ill be sure to bring cement
A concrete state of mind
Sometimes even the strongest
Hammer can't break through it
Impossible is just a word
That's drilled in your head
How badly do you want it?
Can you say that you'll last?
Moving forward is your shovel
Now start burying your past.
Only a for a moment
Are you blindfolded
Yet tears still manage
To run down your cheeks
Waiting and waiting
For it all to go away
Just to be disappointed
once again
With time comes healing
And with healing comes grief
When life throws you curve balls
and you can't seem to sleep

It seems to me
things aint what they used to be
gas aint a dollar anymore
now its three
everybody looks at themselves
present day
looking for monetary
gain in the quickest way
like the post office
trumping the pony express
which is then succeeded by the
internets finess
like video killed the radio star
it wouldn't happen if the telegraph
didn't raise the bar
no ones articulate
unless theres a phone in their hand
in that case then they have time for a text to plan
they say the grass is greener on the other side
but only when its been
artificially fertilized
people keep praying going out of their minds
but I'm so deep in mine I can barely unwind
swinging hammers 9 to 5
that cookie cutter we all strive for
that slice of bread we all die for
just to leave no trail behind
worried sick over what
smoking roaches and cigarette butts
the daily grind had ground me up
because I'm 6 feet under
dead from the neck up

It's been a hard time around
But I'm trying my best
To keep my cool in front of you
But I must confess
When clammy hands meet
It lifts me off my feet
And I will always be happy
Just being your friend
Well I know I'm not the sharpest tool
Out there in the shed
And everyone's out searching for
Someone to lay with in bed
But I don't have much time for those
Who don't have much respect
And I'm tired of feeling like I'm dead
So ill take this pint for the road again
And I won't pay for my tab
Who knew making up
songs in the yard
would be the best thing
we ever had
The year was 2014
I felt all grown up by now
But I couldn't shake the feeling
That we'd make it big somehow
They'd never see us coming
And we'd take the crowd by storm
All our Tattered jeans and hoodies
And flannels look all worn

Timid with fear
There's no one around
I know that it's scary
I know there's a cloud
Hanging over your head
But it won't be for long
Just keep on smiling kid
Just keep being strong
You make the difference
It's scary but true
Look deep in yourself
But You already knew
That nobody else
would ever tell you the truth
Falling in with arms crossed
Back stabbed and abused
It's so easy
To call it quits but
Feeling lonely
Will never get
the best of this
We were raised
stronger than that
I know you can handle
Whatever life gives

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is.
