Monkey Brain

Mind stop racing, in time it's all spacing on to
Next one, next time monkey brain broke through
Running from the bad times good times too, on to the next time that I’m with you
Hard stop, sugar rush, side-step cut to --
I lost my keys in ‘89
You lost your wife in ‘95 it's all a blur
She lost my dog in ‘21
I lost my heart after you’d gone it's all a blur
I’m not strong enough for war since I met you
Next one, next time maybe I’ll follow through
Hard pressed to find the open door, back to the window over the core
Can’t keep running from what they call you
It’s just my big stupid heart in your hands
Could you believe how hard this one ended?
This one ended too soon, all the things we do
And it looks like charring off the blue
It's all a blur
I lost my freedom in the daybed
I found it where I'd left it, behind your walls
It's all a façade in the open,
And after all this time I'm up against the walls
Smile if you know what's good for you, won't you
Time ticks my nose your fist, oh doom
Go on drop the act you sweet monsoon, we both know it's overdue
Smile if you know what's good for you, won't you
It's just my big stupid heart in your hand,
Could you believe how hard this one ended
This one ended too soon, too hard for me and you,
But I'm still over the moon for you
It's all a blur

Just Kiss Me

Verse: Fmaj, Amin, Gmin7, Fmaj
Waking up is easy when i know I'll see you that day
When I'm just standing on the corner watching you watching me
Falling asleep is easy when a dream about you walking my way
But my heart beats hard enough to wake me up from that scene
Chorus: Cmaj7, Dmin7, Amin7, Bbmaj
You drive me crazy baby finally alone at your place
You've really got something special can't take my eyes off your face
My heart is going crazy and i can't find the words to say
So just kiss me
Verse
People see me cheesing when i see your name on my phone
But i don't care who knows I'm in love I'm in love
Chorus
You drive me crazy baby finally alone at your place
You've really got something special can't take my eyes off your face
My heart is going crazy and i can't find the words to say
So just kiss me
Bridge: Cmaj7, Dmin7, Amin7, Bbmaj
Waking up is easy when I know I’ll see you
Falling asleep is easy cause I dream about you
You got me begging you please don’t give up what we got
baby don’t go away
Chorus
You drive me crazy baby finally alone at your place
You've really got something special can't take my eyes off your face
My heart is going crazy and i can't find the words to say
So just kiss me

Easy to Pretend

I’m lost in the wind my heart is a rain cloud
the only possibility that has been left out
I’ve lost so many times that I’ve started losing count and that’s fine
My only one concern is I’m running out of time
i think that I'm becoming too restless to unwind
a part of me thinks that there's no reason to cry and that's fine
But there's still blue sky chariots
and a pain body talking like a savant idiot
it's like nothing going wrong but it's easy to pretend that it's fine
And there's no use trying again
Until I'm just a little older and the burn starts to mend
I'm honestly saying make believe it's pretend
that its fine
My eyes are so veiled by a longing and hope
For a time to pretend that the truth could be spoken
I’ve got it finally its a gas in the hand, its not mine
I’m toiling afraid of the two headed waveforms
And spiraling away from the you that I’ve prayed for
I’ve gotta drop the hope and the pain will go too, but they’re mine
But there’s still you trying to numb the days
And I’m looking at my clock behind a yellowish haze
I think I’m realizing there’s no time to complain and its fine
Baba ram ram heal the pain
Is it working it all out, is it just letting it rain
I think I'm realizing there's no need to explain
All the time
Baba ram ram heal the pain
Is it digging till you find it, is it loving the spade
I think it's gone, I'll find it when the organ is played other side
On the other side

In Love Anymore

Operation lifesaver is in effect as of right now
And I keep running away
God is in the lightworks and the burning steppes of my house
And I keep running away
And you seem like you've always had enough of me
And here and now's not the place I'm supposed to be
I don't really wanna be in love anymore
With you
I don't really wanna be in love anymore
With you
Little on my mind besides the newest mistake that I've made
And I keep running the same
Middle of the road inside the beautiful thing is what they say
It’s not one in the same
And you seem like you've always had enough of me
And here and now's not the place I'm supposed to be
I don't really wanna be in love anymore
With you
I don't really wanna be in love anymore
With you
I don't really wanna be in love anymore
With you
I don't really wanna be in love anymore
With you

A delicate sculpture figure
Was drunk beneath a diamond sky
A postured silhouette
Surreal like boy cry
Undamnable and unchanging
You’re just too young to understand
That it's like two eyes open in an off-white room and a far cry
There weren’t but three days gone bye after you died when we all tried
To mourn the great escape,
To dance this masquerade
I felt a bit ruptured, featured,
And stuck between an open mind –
A false worded hypocrite
Undamnable and unchanging
You’re heart is in the right place
And It's one hard lesson to learn something new about humankind,
That there’s a you running round in a bottomless thrash as a sure sign:
It might be more common than I thought
And I’m no subtle savant
And O I’ve got a lot to learn
As it is, as it is
And O I’ve got myself to blame
For this situation
Stitches facing the id
There’s a small chance sitting on the fence I’ll show where its hid
But it’s a hard one lesson to learn that you’re through before it even began
I know you think you know me baby how much it hurts maybe it's all a sham
Some cosmic comedy
Some bold case study
Itching for a love in the sky
It’s like eyes wide open in an off-white room and a far cry

A Minha Luz Da Lua
04:03

Não queria que ninguém visse
Especialmente você
Não queria que ninguém soubesse
Especialmente eu
Você me amou?
Ou só estava solitária?
O fim do arco-íris
Um pouco sozinho
A minha luz da lua
Atrás das sombras
Dançar sambas
Apenas com você,
Acreditar no Deus
Novamente agora, atrás de tudo
Você me amou?
Ou só estava solitária?
O fim do arco-íris
Um pouco sozinho
A minha luz da lua
Atrás das sombras
[Instrumental]
O fim do arco-íris
Um pouco sozinho
A minha luz da lua
Atrás das sombras

What You Need

We were faces behind a masquerade
And the love we found was hard to save
Two lips a nose and a smiling face
Just weren't enough of a loss to take
We dressed up like some scullery maids
With breast pumps and a cutlery tray
Holiday with your melodies
And buck jump high from a milky weed
I wish I was the love that you need
But i don't mind now I have to believe
I just wish I’d known
Grown up doesn't mean you’re grown
And two lips two eyes and a nose
Don't mean shit if you’re always alone
My mother was a lovely lady
And she would've liked if you would've stayed
And speaking of the love that she gave
I don't think I'll find what i couldn't take
I fall in love too easily
And it hurts every time when you up and leave
But i can't decide if I'd rather be free
Or waste my time trying to be what you need

Far Out
02:59

Tall dark and handsome
I thought it was a phantom
Running through the blind streets
Rousing up the downed desire
Of everything I wanted to be
Clouding up the mainstream
Murky in my daydreams
Holding me for ransom
Baby I'm just so tired
Of losing myself to me
I've got a sickfit
Sitting in my pocket
And it's no use to me if it wants to stay
Where there's a will
You know there's a way out
And it'll do me in the same if i don't walk away
Far out and then some
Leaving for the next one
Could go on for miles but
I guess life is just a vicious cycle
Going like bobby end up like Michael
Then don't come around
Calling out the unseen
low class conspiracy
Living with the hive mind
Baby I’m just so tired
Of losing myself to me
The second I've got fixed again
It leaves when I'm not looking
The solution set seems like its void
I know it's just affliction
Not so much a problem
And you can beat it to the punch just play along

No More Blues

Heaven has no heart for me
Moonlight on the city streets
It’s the kind of blue you wanna hide away from
Let it out before it starts to speak
Who’s right it sure ain’t me
It’s the kind of mood you wanna fight and kill huh
And I’m losing myself while I work for cheap
With my Hollywood tits selling it for free
On the downlow, mistakes were made
And I realized there's nothing to say
Too late to save it now,
I’m clocked out brother broken down
No sullen blues to sing along to
Too late to turn back now,
I’m knocked down brother hollowed out
No sullen blues to sing along to
You’ve got no heart of mine
Twice fooling I’ll do it right
It’s the kind of rouse you wanna stick the man to
Just so you could see the white of her eyes
Bright with surprise when she’s finish spitting lies
Its the kind of doom that you want to talk to
And I’m losing myself while I work for cheap
With my Hollywood tits selling it for free
On the downlow, mistakes were made
And I realized there's nothing to say
Too late to save it now,
I’m clocked out brother broken down
No sullen blues to sing along to
Too late to turn back now,
I’m knocked down brother hollowed out
No sullen blues to sing along to
No More Blues
No More Blues
