Watching 03:56
There's a child Watching you Her eyes are brighter than sun In mid-June She lost her father and withdrew But she's, watching you But the feeling's so real But the feeling's so real But the feeling's so real There's that smile that I knew Before the pain of this world Took me too She needs some answers On what to do Role model, it's up to you But the feeling's so real But the feeling's so real But the feeling's so real The wolf is coming after you He's running fast in the forest You're just looking for rest So lay down Maybe he'll lay next to you The shark coming after me She's swimming fast in the ocean I'm past the emotion Just take down All these insecurities A bear is climbing up to us And I just tried to get higher But then saw your fire Go way down In those eyes still watching me I know I've done some things in life To make you think I'm a failure But I'll never fail her I'll never fail her I'll never fail her I'll never fail her I'll never fail her I'll never fail her I'll never fail her I could be a hero Yeah yeah I could be a hero Yeah yeah I could be your hero Yeah yeah I could be your hero Yeah yeah I will be your hero Yeah yeah I will be your hero Yeah yeah I will be your hero Yeah yeah I will be your hero Yeah yeah I will be your hero

Disagree 03:03
Took a little p-p-p piece of paper Put a little b-b-b bit of anger On a n-n- note for you to see later N-n now I feel so Oh No No No No No Don't look at me I was wrong I'll listen to you Like our favorite songs When are we gonna see past the difference? Maybe it's just a symptom of distance Doing what you can to protect your riches While I'm probably throwing mine down a wishing well Now look at me You were wrong You come singing to change me Like a Sunday Psalm Don't you see We don't have to disagree To be right Y'know I'd fight for a friend like you For my whole life Took a little t-t-t time to tell you In the c-c comment section Go to hell dude But I didn't take the T-time to cast a Vote this election When I'm just arguing All this drama With no end in sight All because we just wanna be right Don't you see We don't have to disagree To be right Y'know I'd fight for a friend like you For my whole life Let it go Let it go

This song's for other ones From the Arctic to Farallones Can anyone help you find your way I really don't think it's our place This ghost, It is alive That you feel when you hear inside Every single other day it's news About how we're going to lose you What are we putting you boys through What'll these little girls do When Mom and Dad are dead The legends perfected the paradigm They wanted to move but not arrive There isn't an animal that survives In a race against time This song's for other ones From Australia to Vietnam Can anyone help you find your sway I want to communicate This life, it has a mind That is just as aware as mine When will we to just share this place We're needing to elevate Coastlines swallowed up by the ocean Future storms set into motion All the lies that lead to this mistake Fly, and go escape away to space When sentient life-forms are all around your face This song's for other ones From the arctic to Farallones Can anyone help you find your way I really don't think it's our place This ghost, It is alive That you feel when you hear inside Every single other day it's news About how we're going to lose you

Same Code 03:56
You make me feel much less sober We're rolling over and over I'm laughing while falling down your heart You know me You know me Better than I know myself, yeah Better than I know myself, yeah You are My all night My all day My Freedom I am The metrinome In your heart That's beating You make me believe in souls Either that or you're a clone Of my mind Written with the same code I love you, I love you Better than you love yourself, yeah You love me, You love me Better than I love myself, yeah You are My all night My all day My Freedom I am The metrinome In your heart That's beating I'll kiss you again And though my heart's so true For you On this side of things I'll miss you again Goodbye to my friend My love My life You are My all night My all day My Freedom I am The metrinome In your heart That's beating (You make me feel much less sober) (We're rolling over and over) (I'm laughing while falling down your heart) (You know me) (You know me)

You shouldn't kill yourself today Someone's needing you to stay I'm predicting their not far, far You shouldn't shoot everyone tomorrow And I know that's hard to swallow When your whole life feels so borrowed, borrowed Don't stop thinking bout the non-stop storm in your head tonight You can think it better if you give it another try We could go in circles till you think you could feel alright, feel alright You're stuck inside a loop today In a mental lemniscate And you're needing to escape, escape It's getting near the end of day I think the sun is trying to say There's a hope inside tomorrow, tomorrow Don't stop thinking bout the non-stop storm in your head tonight You can think it better if you give it another try We could go in circles till you think you could feel alright, feel alright Stop calling me lazy I'm weighed down This should be amazing But I don't feel it right now Don't stop thinking bout the non-stop storm in your head tonight You can think it better if you give it another try We could go in circles till you think you could feel alright, feel alright I don't need it anymore Put a lock outside that door And I know I'm moving forward, forward I don't need it anymore Put a lock outside that door And I'll never lose control lose control lose control lose control lose control lose control lose control lose control

I see it all the time The reason's just eluding/alluding state of mind You see it everywhere Selfishly opting to not even care I've seen it once again Someone who's been a friend and helped grow that baby boy (Alone we are nothing) I'll see it once again I know there's not an end to the soul of that baby girl (Together we're something) You're so predictable Your actions always seemed so cyclical Call it out when you see it Never finding out that to see it you must be it I bet you wouldn't believe yourself I've seen it once again Someone who's been a friend and helped grow that baby boy (Alone we are nothing) I'll see it once again I know there's not an end to the soul of that baby girl (Together we're something) Together we're something Where was I going An island gets lonely All alone in his knowing Slowly Im seeing That what I was seeing Was how I was feeling, yeah Projected on the ceiling, yeah Pretty sure I was sleeping But now Im pretty Lucid And I never want to lose it, no Even with a bruised Ego If you can't stop seeing selfish people You might try seeing them as your equal I woke up clear today and saw that selfishness was fear's forte The different kinds of wealth, they don't exist when you're all by yourself I've seen it once again I touched your hand today I felt you say my name You're welcome in my home You know you're not alone I watched you find the joy of music in the noise A low wave in your bones You know you're not alone I love your innocence Been thinking of it since I wrote you all those poems You know you're not alone For every time you smile The Earth can rest a while It's how this feeling's grown You know you're not alone I've seen it once again I know we could be friends Please don't hang up the phone You know you're not alone

If we're all in a computer Then what's it all mean to ya? Do you still practice the Golden Rule? If this is just simulation Then go and take a vacation The water feels so blue and real Do I have a choice in this Or is it a puzzle to find bliss Keep on swinging love Like a pendulum Oh, oh, oh You're affixed above But you don't even Know, oh, oh Yeah you've got some slack But you will be back On the main path That you're destined to follow And when you die You'll upload to the cloud again I fear that my life hasn't done enough For You (That's not what's really important in life It's how... You live your life It's how you... Deal with other people He said, "You just showed me your compassion" He said, "And you have that for people" And he said, "Those are the things that are really important in life, I wish I could get that across to more people." So he said, " Just keep doing what your doing " :) Electric scooters in the sunset Breezes like a lava lamp Flying over Portland My self esteem is excellent! Tasting our creation This food is so amazing Spending random days in Can we stay on this vacation? Remember riding on scooters Now everything is the future Do you remember the Golden Breeze? A world of pure fascination Where you can make your creations Imagine all the golden Keys Do I have a choice in this Or is it a puzzle to find bliss Keep on swinging love Like a pendulum Oh, oh, oh You're affixed above But you don't even Know, oh, oh Yeah you've got some slack But you will be back On the main path That you're destined to follow

We could jump like dolphins In and out of lightening bolts As this dream carries us away Da da da da da da

You are my You are my You are my Perfect Hero You are my You are my You are my Perfect Hero You never really want to let go Even always from the get-go A light called baby Lucy Is helping me and you to see Some things are just a constant The universe is a monster But monsters are still people Underneath all the evil Never gonna fly without Fly with doubt Fly without you, Dev Even if I hide about I'll still come out Seek you out, Mom, Dad I always could see your soul Made of gold You should know it, Cal Oliver your growing up Responsible Your in control right now You are my You are my You are my Perfect Hero You are my You are my You are my Perfect Hero A web is a home A soldier killed a soldier Hope can't survive Without dark time The genius couldn't speak The leader took advantage She cussed out a poem We know we're not alone The feeling is endless Blessed with an achey mind Part of my sense of failure Is part of my sense of success The terrorist tried her best You couldn't agree with that Convicts on the run Bubbles in the sun Bubbles in the sun Bubbles in the sun Bubbles in the sun Bubbles in the sun Bubbles in the sun Bubbles in the sun Bubbles in the sun Bubbles in the sun Bubbles in the sun You are my You are my You are my Perfect Hero You are my You are my You are my Perfect Hero
