it's all gotta start somewhere i know
if you never start then you'll never go
i'm trying to work up the motivation to get going
but getting started is the hardest part
but once i get going
i'm good to keep on going
i just had to push the acclerator
when your self-esteem wears you down
you've gotta get up off the ground
you've got to put the effort in
never give up hope
i believe you can do great things
it's not selfish to reach for your dreams
don't give yourself up
you are important to me
it's all gotta start somewhere once again

roller coaster

you know what goes up must come down
roller coaster
your ego will get thrown around
roller coaster
your spirits will be lifted via chain
only to tumble down when it rusts away
ironically a real life roller coaster
is more reliable than this metaphorical one
yesterday you were feeling on top of the world
feeling lucky enough to ride this ride and not hurl
don't you worry, we all lose our lunch now & then
recompose yourself, there's a corkscrew right up ahead
the other day you were feeling oh so good
now you're feeling worse than you ever thought you could
bumpy ride now, this coaster's old & made out of wood
doesn't help you didn't wear your restraints like you should
way more fun to feel the airtime but you're jumping the gun
when you are upside down
scared for your life you'll be holding on
life's not an amusement park
roller coaster
it doesn't care how sad you are
roller coaster
though you're confidence is recovering
get ready for a wave of suffering
when you pay the admission prince
you'll get fu**ed over by life

we tend to wander ii

we don't like to stay in one place
we prefer to embrace our change
we grow from milk to wine as we age
i'd hate to meet myself from the past
sorry to everyone who's passed
through my life only to leave
i don't blame you one bit
for riding the waves right past my shore
i hate to think how you see me
when all you saw was who i was back then
it's all my fault, i am to blame
all my past choices for which i am ashamed
i'd never wanna see me again
if i were you, yeah if i were you
i'd rather forget that old bygone friend
if i were you, yeah if i were you
i'd never give me another chance
if i were you, yeah if i were you
i'd tie me up and throw me into the ocean
if i were you, yeah if i were you

seashell graves

far below the surf
underneath the waves
lies a cascade of underwater seashell graves
through the ocean tide
through the open sky
don't disturb their memories as you pass on by
in the cold blue dark
light can barely reach
sits the furthest point from where the ocean meets the beach
as they lie in rest
in eternal peace
they know not of what had killed them, it was human beasts
if you're visiting our blue orb now
after we have dried up our own well
remember well all the innocent who died
for the sake of humans & their pride
(a)
starfish, large squid, killer-shark fins
puffers, dolphins, whales held captive
seahorse, clown fish, eels & rays, electric
tuna, small shrimp, far away penguins
(b)
endless abundance of life beneath the surface
better off without us killing with a furnace
arrogance & ego to drag the whole world with us
we're killing them & ourselves
the earth should not forgive us
are you proud of what we have created here?

write in the key of c, bpm 120, 4/4 time for me
is that way too easy? if i write so plainly
can't pretend that i know music theory
is it alright if i just use the same dang chords
over & over again?
& i wonder would it be better if i didn't care?
wonder why i worry so much that i have to adhere?
blunder, wouldn't it be better just to be myself?
blunder, already tried that and came out insecure as hell
i like songs that sound cutesy & cheesy & corny & everything
but when i write like that a voice screams it's not everyone's cup of tea
if i write cooler songs will people listen to them more willingly?
i think i'd prefer if my imperfect stabs at art
could exist free from its human counterpart
your art comes from a human heart
your art comes from a human soul
even if you stand apart
your art comes from human ego
art comes from the human heart
art comes from the human soul
even if you let it stand on its own
art comes from human ego
take it all away again
my fragile confidence
take it all away again
my insecurities
throw it in the ocean
into the deepest sea
though life is hard & you wanna do your best
keep your heart inside your chest
though you'll certainly make mistakes
& your self-esteem may fade
that's the part of you that makes you human
though you can't change the past
you can look to the future
each & every new day is a brand new opportunity
never give it up, keep it moving forward
though it may be hard sometimes
never give it up, keep it moving forward
you have gotta find your light
never give it up, keep it moving forward
make the most of your life
never give it up, keep it moving forward
we don't really have much time
