Better Off 03:02
There are many paths to the same conclusion I prefer to ignore most to avoid confusion But one could be that it’s not worth it Continuing on without a purpose But I don't want to use that voice I'm better off if I feel I don't have a choice I don't want to make all that much noise It's easier to justify Just that kind of thinking But then you sit & wonder why You feel your ship is sinking But I'm not satisfied Dismissing all that logic But falling into it you just get bit So I split the difference But I don't want to pick a side I'm better off if I feel I can slide right on by I don’t want to make an awful cry It makes it worse to hold it in But I can't help it I think it through & mull it down 'Til i feel confident I don't know why Have over half a mind but I never speak it It’s like I'm keeping a secret My mind’s a convection oven But I can't share its heat Am I incomplete?

Serialize 03:18
I wanted to serialize The sharpest colors of your eyes Freely, folded neatly Lost completely Please come meet me I wanted to see your eyes In a series of numbers & lines Oaken wood planks Unspoken confessions & omens Our glasses are broken I forgot to vocalize my thoughts Continuing understood It was as if you could Hear what I was thinking But I don't think you were thinking You only see yourself I cant see anything As far as i can yell
3.
Always 03:39
I'm always in awe of what you do Electrify me because you have to I’m always at odds with whatever’s wrong I had a shot but i took too long I’m always withdrawn from something new Withdrawal from everything because of you I'm always undone from some solar wind Blow me down & burn my skin Ignore my exclusion, self-imposed I don’t want an intrusion or to be exposed I want to feel at home No I need to be at home & I feel most at home When warmth flows through my bones My hands refuse to lose Their grip around the fuse Every outlet's in use
4.
Note 02:19
Sometimes my heart gets in my throat And I cant sing another note I've waited long enough For something good to come Now I can't stand to see the sun Knots in my hair Knots in my throat I don't want to be remote It's not my choice I have no way To make what I wanna say stay I'm unconcerned with All the secrets I tell myself Late at night I'm uninvolved with All the ideas I come up with When i'm unproductive Sometimes I’ll start to close my eyes Before I start to see sunlight Not satisfied with all my words & I don't know what could be worse Its not a choice that I can make I want to speak but I know what’s at stake I always feel I'm in the way I never want to feel that way I wanted to still be cold But how could I when I can't afford To keep it down or let this pass? I have to make all of this last

Koan 02:14
Said "We’ll see Where the snowfall leads." I knew Into the ground with you Experience is the greatest teacher But I’m predisposed to bleachers I have always loved I can only love If life’s a koan I know now how I will go on
6.
Nothing 02:35
Snow flurries outside I hurry into the light Wind blurry in my eyes Small snowfall, no real size One inch, maybe less Melts before it hits my chest In this weather, depressed Waiting for icy regret Can’t find it; I don’t know what Sharp contrasts; I don’t know one Can’t find it; special feeling Bright sunbeams on the ceiling Green fauna's somehow wilting In the daylight; sun is lilting The horizon, lightness filling I will find it, spirit willing No fulfillment no matter the season I can believe that I can keep on dealing With the ways the summer starts to make me Wish for the winter months within me When winter comes I’ll start over Within weeks I will get over The hilly incline weighing on the ground where I’m found But soon enough the ground’s torn up Try to plant on it but it may not exist Nothing exists if not prescribed a purpose
7.
See a picture a hundred times On the hundredth try something new hits your eye Hold your head in your hands This new perspective is plainly not what you had planned This is not a memory bank account withdrawal I’m dreaming vivid imagery with an awful awe When will that song not explore The same special feeling that it had before? When will that face not implore The same awful feeling anymore? Oil on canvas freshly painted is an awful sight to see Even being newly created it drags out long lost memories Pigment fading from a canvas page Reflecting all the changes we have made Figment painting, filaments strained Falling from the wall but still remains The colored shades are finite The lines already drawn I could never look at them for long When will that painting comfort me The way I always knew it used to be? When will that noise not prefix Figments i’d prefer did not exist?
8.
Do It All 04:43
I wanted to do it all What that meant; nothing at all As far as i can recall I was an immovable wall I wanted to feel like fall But what if that couldn’t be culled? What if I didn't change at all? What if I didn't change.... What I've learned Is too absurd For words Rhetorical q&a I made it all up, it has no say But what would it say? What would it have to say? What I heard Wasn’t worth All my words I wanted to question it Even though I've already read it The problem is not within the answer The problem is in the fabric of the asker What if i didn’t change…. What I've earned Is not a term That’s inferred What i wanted Thought I lost it But I couldn’t
