Too Much Input
03:48
|
|||
It’s time to get up and
Start your day right
With routine
It’s always best to eat healthy
Hydrate, need caffeine
Focus the mind on your breathing slow
And sink into your flow
Find that space where you can let get go
Quiet tranquil
Info low
But as you open your eyes
Your mind begins to seek
All of the interestin’ updates
Likes, shares, posts, retweets
Suppress the drug of distractions or
You’ll trigger the trap door
Down the rabbit hole of fake news
It’s too tempting
Can’t refuse
Open my phone and there’s
Too Much Input Concentration
Too Much Input Left the station
Too Much Input Overflowing
Too Much Input Endless Knowing
Too Much Input Mind exploding
Too Much Input but Time keeps going
Sucked into the content vortex
Screwing your prefrontal cortex
Saturated with big data
Human minds becoming betas
Machine learning overturning our
Lives and it is disconcerting
What the future holds is changing
‘Round the clock it’s constant racing
Frantic searching
Overworking
Will it ever stop?
In through the nostrils unplug from stimulation ports
Tune into reality and find your inner force
This daily cycle repeats and if you’re conscious of its wrath
Steady progress is the best path
Slowly flush out binging crap
But I still want that sweet
Dopamine rush through my bloodstream
Videos where cats eat ice cream
Dead inside but cute and fluffy
Likes and loves make real life fuzzy
Sponsored ads and excess hashtags
Memes and Gifs are all capricious fads
Stored inside and endless network
Stealing your mind for its net-worth
Synergy has lots of beauty
Saving time and getting booty but
All the big guns are abusing so much
Power over helpless humans
Analytics algorithms
Mush your brain into a schism
Cloud computing spying snooping
What can all this mean?
Too much input overloading
Stolen by the corporate probing
Too much input keeps imposing
Cut the cord erase the coding
Too much input ill exposing
Pull out from all your band width gloating
Need my fix of screen time choking
Sports highlights and mammal moanings
Emojis won’t stop corroding
No real lol’s when online joking
Limits to our brain’s encoding cuz
Minds need time and space reloading
Stop scratching that phone itch
Flip off the power switch
Outside there is fresh air
Off your screen’s aware
It’s time to turn on that airplane mode nap rid your mind
From all the info shoved down your retinas while online
You gotta stay optimistic and refused to be perturbed
Altruistic but don’t disturb
Stay creative feel superb

You Are What You Eat
03:49
|

You are what you eat
Hangry habits on daily repeat
What do I choose
Or refuse?
No magic diet
Stops my primal famished defiance
You are what you eat so
I need a balance if I’m gunna be complete
You are what you eat
Cheese puff pizza bites and taco meat
Passing straight through
Putrid poo
Battle of my bulge
Facing off with life’s need to indulge
You are what you eat so
I need a balance if I’m gunna be complete
Feeling crappy
I can eat more healthy
‘casue when the balance is gone
Bodies know what is wrong
Instead of take-out for one
Go for a grocery run
Veggies plant-based diets
Ginger, soy sauce, garlic
Fruit is so tasty
It’s nature real candy
You are what you eat
Hangry habits on daily repeat
What do I choose?
Or refuse
No magic diet
Stops my primal famished defiance
You are what you eat so
I need a balance if I’m gunna be complete
Feeling crappy
I can eat more healthy
‘casue when the balance is gone
Bodies know what is wrong
Instead of take-out for one
Go for a grocery run
Veggies plant-based diets
Ginger, soy sauce, garlic
Fruit is so tasty
It’s nature real candy
When its late and you’re fiending for the snacks and treats
There’s a tempting bliss point between the savory and the sweet
Will power low
Cravings grow while your stomach’s
Rumbling below but just remember
We make mistakes and
Balance is what it takes
Balance between carbs and protein
Veggies and fruits come from your roots
Added processed leave you obsessed
Care for your own microbiome ‘cause
You are what you eat
Hangry habits on daily repeat
What should you choose?
Or refuse
No magic diet
Stops back primal famished defiance
You are what you eat so
I need a balance if I’m gunna be complete

New Sponge
03:15
|
|||
My heap of dirty dishes
Steals away time from bigger wishes
Must clean without a machine
But my sponge, is grunge
So I bought a new sponge
Time to do dishes
Trash the old one
Filled with food pieces
Greasy, gooey, gunk grime
Let it soak overtime
Scrub hard till it’s spotless
Burnt bits and dried sauces
Home cooked, tastes stupendous
But breeds filth that’s endless
Just when the sink’s clear we
Host a dinner party
Be mindful of roommates
Wash dry all your used plates
Dishes are like girlfriends
Don’t let others do them
Fill sinks with warm water
Help save earth and dollars
Tidy kitchen tops rule
When you use the right tools
Bought a new sponge
Time to do dishes
Trash the old one
Filled with food pieces
With so many gross tasks
How will my new sponge last?
Wring out all the moisture
So dank mold can’t mature
Always nagged to stay neat
Mindless work needs fat beats
Little tastes of success
Progress you through life’s stress
New Sponge
Must clean without a machine
No more grunge, new sponge
My heap of dirty dishes
Steals away time from bigger wishes

Laundry
03:15
|
|||
Used up all my clean clothes
Avoiding laundry day piling up big loads
Lights, darks, packed in quick spin
I’ll never see to the bottom of my bin
Toss in detergent hold start to lock in
Your splendid odors and soiled linen
Who knew that going in circles would give
Great excuses for being productive
Only way my bed gets sheeted
Is when underwear’s depleted
How long can this last pair survive
Need to exercise so now I’ve
Used up all my clean clothes
Avoiding laundry day piling up big loads
Lights, darks, packed in quick spin
I’ll never see to the bottom of my bin
Sweaty pit stains mixed with grass and dirt smears
Losing more socks to the dyer each year
Throw in a wash and get glued to a screen
Come tomorrow it smells ripe and musty
Wave goodbye to electronics
Left with tissues in your pockets
Wishing I was wrinkle free and
Shrinking sizes like laundry
Used up all my clean clothes
Avoiding laundry day piling up big loads
Lights, darks, packed in quick spin
I’ll never see to the bottom of my bin

Tax Time
03:24
|
|||
Once every year
Feds reappear
Wads of your stash
Gone in a flash
April is here
You must adhere
Time to pay up
Uncle Sam’s cup
Tax time’s here 30%
Straight down the drain
For guns so our fears stay tame
While education’s
Cut like deforestation
Audited
Shoot
Tax time’s here all your hard work
Cut ‘cause the feds
Need your social date of birth
Scrounging for write-offs
But my budgets is so off
Audited
America is the greatest
Neck deep in everyone’s business
Incarcerate invented threats
Collect confidence from their debts
Tax time’s here empty your socks
Cough up an arm and leg
Meanwhile bonus stocks
Trade rich for reason
With treason each spring season
Audited
America is truly king
High scores in fatness and shootings
Medicarelesness guaranteed
As long as 1% agreed
Tax time’s here 30%
Straight down the drain
For guns so our fears stay tame
While education’s
Cut like deforestation
Audited
Once every year
Feds reappear
Wads of your stash
Gone in a flash
April is here
You must adhere
Time to pay up
Uncle Sam’s cup

Road Trip
02:42
|
|||
I gotta get out of this place
And see the world face to face
Time for a change switch lanes
Each slow down drives me more insane
But when we travel near and far
We piece together who we are
Pack the car time to take a ride
Coast to coast don’t wait just drive
We wanna see the sights
Travel all day and night
Following pure instinct
Don’t overthink
Just roll towards
What feels right
Cuz taking risks
Brings new life
It’s a long road trip
You will veer and drift
But just keep your grip
10 and 2
Sleeping at Walmart in the truck lot
Passing the time with secret dark thoughts
Taking the freeway isn’t easy
B.O. and speed bumps got me queasy for some air
Sing to the back seat-belt the lyrics
Classics and oldies, all the best hits
Head-banging road rage, honk the car horn
I can’t remember when I wasn’t seeing corn
Time for snacks at the mini mart
All this crap will stop my heart
Gotta fill up the tank
With the best food and drank
Turn off your GPS
And take a guess
Just roll towards
What feels right
Cuz taking risks
Brings new life
It’s a long road trip
You will veer and drift
But just keep your grip
10 and 2
Missing my home
Is this the right turn?
Lost and alone
Travel and learn
Getting close to the final stop
Cityscapes with lights and shops
Never forget the fields
Teaching us our ideals
Keep it in your top gear
And drive by fear
Just roll towards
What feels right
Cuz taking risks
Brings new life
It’s a long road trip
You will veer and drift
But just keep your grip
10 and 2

Shit Storm
02:27
|
|||
Shit storm has finally arrived
But do you have what it takes to survive
Bombarded when life attacks
Gotta drudge through the shit storm and begin to take back
Control or it will suck your soul
Rear ended
Warning lights
Flat tire
Cancelled flight
Interest loans
Hidden fees
Foreclosure
Account freeze
Family lost
Heart broken
Backstabbed by
Your best friend
High fever
ER bill
Will life stand still?
Searching for a moment’s peace and quiet
Between all the chaos and the misfortune
Shit storms will come back soon
Doesn’t matter how you try and prepare
Money time and power won’t make you immune
When
Shit storm has finally arrived
But do you have what it takes to survive
Bombarded when life attacks
Gotta drudge through the shit storm and begin to take back
Control or it will suck your soul
Power’s out
Rent increase
Plumbing clogged
Binding lease
Arctic gusts
Flash flooding
Forest fires
Hurricanes
Pickpocket
Phone stolen
Assaulted
Bones broken
Hive breakout
Runs and chills
Will life stand still?

Stuck
02:06
|
|||
Stuck
Frozen in fear
Directionless
No-one and nothing near
Wondering
Worrying
Wandering
Pondering
Vacillate
Aggravate
Procrastinate
Exacerbate
When you don’t know which path to take
Realize there’s no mistakes
Break down your pains
Digest the strains
Because adversity will always remain

Corporate Cortisol
02:54
|
|||
Shit I’m so late for my day job
No time to eat I just gotta get up and go
Sit in my grey box
And open all the pointless mass emails to my inbox
Bored to death staring at unchanging clocks
Large meetings waste everyone’s time
And payroll complications force my cards to decline
There’s no benefits
To losing all autonomy over your calendar
Crunching someone else’s crude numbers
Complacent comfort under
Corporate Cortisol
It’s finally lunch break my favorite part of the day I get to eat
The same bland tupperware meal that I prepped for the whole week
Headphones in people out don’t care about your new baby
Thirty minutes is up not even time to (pee)
Peaking to get you out of bed
Cortisol drops as the day goes by till your dead
Its found in your spit
And spikes whenever deadlines creep up making you submit
To overtime and lack of leadership
Fantasies thinking you could quit
But golden handcuffs and your pension never permit
Strapped in for the ride
Of having not one bit of your college degree applied
Trainings and protocols to comply
Complacent comfort under
Corporate Cortisol
Our instincts take unhappiness over uncertainty life’s easier
With a fat paycheck to boost ego and gloss over fear
Covering up all creative clues for your true passion
Fixed on your boss’s one way street with no traction
Sit down and take
Your daily dose of micromanagement from higher ups
Discrimination and mansplaining needs to interrupt
Dismantle teamwork cuz hierarchy is way more fun
Climbing social ladders till you realize your
Done with your duties for the day
Close up your spreadsheets file folders away
Escape
I get to sit in traffic alone all the way home
But there’s my phone

Oxytosins
03:19
|

At the end of the day
Come on over babe and we can lie so tenderly (so tenderly)
It's been too long since I had someone next to me (someone next to me)
Our arms getting lower and lower girl
Oo oo oo oo
Slow it down for me
Oxcytosins felt skin to skin
Oxcytosins pure emotion
Oxcytosins life’s measured in
Oxcytosins Oxcytosins
Been waiting for your arms to wrap me tight (we reunite)
Let’s release the stress of long days in our bed tonight (by candle light)
Got your wrapped around my finger and I won’t let go (give you control)
Wanna show you how I feel because our love has just begun to flow
Oxcytosins where have you been
Oxcytosins ditch the lotion
Oxcytosins dry spell broken
Oxcytosins ox cy
Oxcytosins felt skin to skin
Oxcytosins pure emotion
Oxcytosins life’s measured (your life’s measured in)
Oxcytosins ox cy
Time for the love makin
Pulsing parts channel the surreal
As we share the venereal
Vibrate space-time dilate pupils
Vulnerable visceral thrills
Coitus cuts the conscious control
From cortex orbitofrontal
Energies in utmost respect
Till medullas flex

Leap
01:23
|
|||
I wonder when I’ll take the leap
To quit this job and pick up frozen feet
When days go past, but nothing lasts
Am I lost or am I human needing something new to contrast?
We need to love what isn’t known
When comfort zones are keeping us alone
If you’re in deep, can’t fall asleep
Take a chance and leap
I wonder when I’ll take the leap
To quit this job and pick up frozen feet
When days go past, but nothing lasts
Am I lost or am I human needing something new to contrast?
A leap towards the other side
Brings confidence to lengthen out your stride
To shake things up and break the slump
Just jump

Redemption
06:14
|
|||
Gotta go back
Need to fix it or ill
Be buggin for a while
Regret it hate myself until I
Relieve this feeling inside
Get out of bed and put some pants on
Before this moment is gone
Don’t want to but I have to do it
Can't hesitate to prove it
With holes unfulfilled
Frustration starts to build
Putting pain and fear of failure far behind
There is only one way to extinguish irking rage
Take aim, and engage
It’s time to taste redemption
You’re in it for the long haul
Set backs, slow downs, stand stills, and shortfalls
Will slap you in the face and blockade like a brick wall
Stand tall
Push
A little bit closer take one step at a time with
True Grit
Bad luck, Beat downs, bummers and bull shit
Will strike whenever you and your mind least expect it
Don’t quit
Searching incessantly to find the answers to the right questions
Going with your gut and knowing you will find redemption
Time to align
Your body and mind
You’ve journeyed so far
Show them who you are
Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump…
And now with a taste
Redemption has you laced
With a longing running circles ‘round your mind
Only to return
Thirsty for more with aching burns
Rebound and reveal, what you can truly achieve
And Believe
Redemption Redemption
Move with direction
Redemption Redemption
Make no exceptions
Redemption Redemption
Struck with obsession
Redemption Redemption
Feel the ascension
