I've Been

I’ve been asking questions, hearing songs I’ll never need
Finding decompression in the mile by the sea
I’ve been happy knowing that I’m happy when I’m stuck
In the warmth of the growing state of lacking any luck
I’ve been sending notes and checking in and making time
Piling up the votes and clearing throats and compromising
I’ve been telling new ways that I’m sorry, I was wrong
Here’s one now, “I will try to stay in this story until you’re gone.”
I’ve been sitting on couches, sitting at tables, sitting on the floor
Comparing how we’re slouching, that we’re able nevermore
I’ve been tryin’ to figure what I gathered all these months
Been too scared to somehow trigger too much laughter, too much fun.
I’ve been holding traces of self-awareness to selfishness
I like showing faces of my impairment to my success.
I’ve been hedonistic, and worst of all, it’s been great.

Love Is a Song
03:22

Verse 1
Some nuance in commanding doesn’t get them standing,
Juxtaposed with yelling makes poor storytelling.
To sway their ideology, without fear or theology,
You gotta be relatable with points that aren’t debatable like,
Chorus
"Love is a song. It’s a beat, steady and long.
Love, tried and true, looks a lot like me and you."
Verse 2
Make it nice and general, body language of an admiral.
Friends to call your revelry, text painting like some pot pourri. I’m
Trying to make it seem like I Know what I’m doing with
Saying lots of nothing
Saying lots of nothing
Saying lots of nothing
Saying lots of nothing
Saying lots of nothing
Chorus
Love is a song. It’s a beat, steady and long
Love, tried and true, looks a little like me and you
Bridge
Here’s a declaration to those of you caring
(Here’s a declaration to those of you caring)
Nothing’s coming out of my mouth that’s gonna sound like caring
(Nothing’s coming out of my mouth that’s gonna sound like caring)
(Love is a song. It’s a beat, steady and long
Love, tried and true, looks a little like me and you)

Kentucky Kind of Day
05:21
|

Verse 1
I could say “Thank God I’m gone”
Monday morn, I was never wrong.
The winter gave my car a better feel, but
Kroger never gave good enough a deal to stay
15 minutes from a best friend
Rope-tying business with a loose end
Thurmins-Hutchins and a six-pack:
Could anyone ever beat that?
Patron of racial justice and patron of tax
Helped me understand I could relax
Could always fixate on a butterfly
Or Ms. Lawrence’s face on I-65
Holiday Manor
Taylorsville, Factorrrrr-y
Frankfort, Breckenridge, Westport
Baxter, Hurstbourne,
Blakenbaker, Freys Hill
Matthews, Shelbyville,
Prospect, of course
Tied to my remorse
Rocked the Local Honeys, Alternator’s
Funny, plateauing my money lots
Dizzy-Whiz and Trolleys skipped those for other
Follies and co-worker lolligags
Speedy ways of wasting time walking to the
Limey Donuts there, like I even care
One used McDonald’s, one used walks
When Louisville didn’t give a lot
Pre-chorus
Board the windows, bar the doors.
When I see that weather, I give a little chort
Chorus
Mouths, I ain’t feedin’; Tea, I ain’t drinkin’.
Smiles, I ain’t givin’, Cause it’s almost a Kentucky Kind of Day
A Race? I ain’t drivin’ A crowd? I’m denyin’
A taste of the rye and see ,It’s almost a Kentucky Kind of Day
Verse 2
Thursday night where I found muse
And I guess I got a little better with my Blues
I tackled stairs and learned a
Fair amount of being scared of being
Paired with my friends and what that lends
Ben Sollee, we’re out of trend
Victorians are walling me in
Like serving white, business men; I
Crumbled underneath the caffeine
Couldn’t keep the LaCroix theme.
Hand me “A Late One”, I’m getting tired
Talking to my wife, who's busy getting fired.
This day reminds me
I can’t be murdered, that’s a guarantee
Have lots to say about the deportees
3 percent chance bourgeoisie
Liquor Cabinets
Free wine, rebates that let me
Justify a drink waking with a stink
Sipping bourbon straight, mints a little tainted
Comment on the sex, workers’ gotta flex
Churchill Downs would always give a frown
Holes inside my Productivity my
Fidelity and Taylor’s body
The only thought of 2020,
Ormsby would not be funny
At least we got a name for our future cat and
Greater appreciation for some stronger lats
Pre-Chorus 2
When I’m listless, self-contained
If I hear a train a comin’, there’s nothing to explain.
Chorus
Mouths, I ain’t feedin’; Tea, I ain’t drinkin’.
Smiles, I ain’t givin’, Cause it’s almost a Kentucky Kind of Day
A Race? I ain’t drivin’ A crowd? I’m denyin’
A taste of the rye and see ,It’s almost a Kentucky Kind of Day
Bridge
When my middle has a little Serendipitous laissez-faire,
I think back to that Old Kentucky Home and my heart begins to tear.
Sad or pleasant, here in the present, I can only breathe a sigh.
30% a psycho, want to dip in the Ohio since I could never save a life.

I don’t wanna think about it
Administration rights without the climb
I don’t wanna think about it
Salt around the rim with a hint of lime
You’ve been given a mind to think about it
Feasting on my popcorn and wine
I don’t wanna think about it
But there’s nothing better to do.
I don’t wanna think about it
The weather’s meant to change, so why should I?
I don’t wanna think about it
Insurance doesn’t cover my wasted time.
You’ve been blessed with eyes to see around it.
I won’t make a joke about whisky and rye
Cause I don’t want to think about it,
But the ones who do are very few.
I can get the planning done.
I can find equations for proportional relationships.
They like the jokes about the lock these days.
They don’t get paid much, so let's leave a tip.
Heavier under lighter,
Give the base some structure without any quips
Of too much to think about.
I’m living in a house that I’d like to flip.

Dusk
04:17
|
|||
Thinking of you gives
(I never lied but I wish that I had)
(Always looking never giving any)
Peace
Solace in life never seeing you again
God will direct My path away
No more running without finding
You.
Dusk means a great deal to many(me).
Fading sun creates a dream, a nightmare for
Me.

Senses

Verse 1
Turn it on, just this once, just for fun
Let’s see, was I wrong? Did your man get you in a funk?
That’s the plan, that’s the scheme, to smell the number 71.
Imagine it was summer, with the earthquakes and thunders
And you, girl, were just eager to run.
Here he comes now.
(Toh Toh Tiki Toh Toh Tiki Toh rattle pula jamble
Toh Toh Tiki Tiki Toh)
Chorus
Use your senses, He’s coming for you
His eyes are glaring, he’s saying “Elephant shoe”
When he gets here, what are you gonna do?
Face the Music. Find a clue.
Verse 2
She wants her vengeance, sweet and mild.
The scent from her bedroom stank of lacquer and pie
Closed out the sound of fresh ideas and groovy guys
It was never what you wanted to hear.
You were digging with the beat of Fear,
Which tasted just completely different from what he had in mind,
But here he comes now.
(Toh Toh Tiki Toh Toh Temper si vous plait ricotta, ki tomba
Toh Toh Tikiti Toh)
Chorus
Use your senses, He’s coming for you
His eyes are glaring, he’s saying “Elephant shoe”
When he gets here, what are you gonna do?
Face the Music. Find a clue.
Bridge
What’s that smell?
What’s that smell?
What’s that smell?
What’s that smell?
Shhh.....
Use your senses.
Use your senses.
He's coming for you.
Use your senses.
He's coming for you.
Use your senses.
He's coming for you.
Use your senses.
He's coming for you.

Dream
03:15

She doesn’t like finance,
The future is a dream.
She doesn’t like the texture
Of plans that are sown on the cuff of her sleeve.
Something doesn’t seem right.
You talk a little less.
Practice self-implosion
When it wrinkles if put under stress.
She doesn’t like holidays
When nothing isn’t there.
She books an airplane ticket
Thinking life is put on a dare.
Got the perfect set-up,
Both are underground,
But perfect didn’t come with
Terms to an agreement with surround sound.
She’s always counting backwards
Until the next trip.
She’s thinking that this month
Isolation is going to fit.
Probably bitter,
Doesn’t work that hard.
Libido is lacking. To-
Night, I’m giving myself a start
To live
A life without caring.
What’s he gonna do?
Isn’t that what he’s preaching,
Live like nothing is at the brink?

Time Attack

Verse 1
I wonder where you’re from,
Is it the same as me?
Give me your constellation.
You’re stuck in Tennessee?
Kick it back now
I wonder who you know.
Are they important now?
If it’s a consolation
Our parents aren’t in town.
Kick it back now.
Chorus
Let’s wait three more hours,
That’s no gun against your back
Let’s wait three more hours,
It’s a game of time attack.
Verse 2
I wonder why you’re here,
Learning how to think.
New Year’s Resolution,
Lips are looking pink.
Kick it back now
I wonder what's your deal?
Where's that confidence?
Marriage gives companions,
If you're on the fence
Kick it back now.
Chorus
Let’s wait three more hours
That’s no gun against your back
Let’s wait three more hours
It’s a game of time attack.
Now let's play some more
Now let's play some more
Now let's play some more
Now let's play some more
Now let's play some more
Now let's play some more
Now let's play some more
I wonder where you're from?
