flipside

[2016]
you got your hopes up down in a ditch
i think its only right that you win
and with your debt spent off to collection
i think its only right that you win
inside outside meet me on the flipside
like a film noir plot untwists
i think its only right that you win
after the full moon messed with your head
i think its only right that you win
inside outside meet me on the flipside
and you were so worked up in the trenches
i think its only right that you win
then you were hosed down off of existence
i think its only right that you win
inside outside
meet me on the flipside

earthquakes dont happen much in p.a.
but when they come you feel the softest shake
like a phone call set to vibrate
you just keep on as if nothing changed
given the choice, i’d write everything in lowercase
and decorate my space in blues and yellows
on a bright morning with no recall
of tougher days in life’s seesaw
i been around enough and i’ve seen what i can do
been around enough and i’ve seen what voids i’ll fill
change can't wait gimme everything a season can spray
i like it that way, rotating order
im the cyclist, ill leapfrog
from whim to whim, escape to escape

seeing the counselor

[2014]
i needed to rest i felt like i’d fallen
i needed a wish i needed to stall
i needed to try something at all
then she came to me
she wanted the best she wanted it all
she wanted to sell everything off
and i’d take the rest she wanted to get
me off and running
i like being around her i’m seeing the counselor
i’m seeing the counselor
now every night when i’m in her arms
i feel like peter stealing from paul
but i can’t resist i’m thinking of this
and she’s there sleeping
she talks a lot about the future
and i’m on the edge and i’ll jump off
with her on the ledge and everything stops
feeling real sad
i like being around her
i’m seeing the counselor
i’m seeing the counselor

feeding all the poor

i don't need a reason
it's a brand new season
i'm revving up my moped to ride
everything i ever meant
i'm saying on a pulpit
in the midst of post-apocalyptic night
i've been hard at work
feeding all the poor
they said fill my little cup
help me to get whole again
escaping from a snake pit
breaking down the markets
even with the dissension, i try
i've been hard at work
feeding all the poor
they said fill my little cup
help me to get whole again

other forms

[2019]
they were riding up to the ceiling
the waves of different seasonings
in the bright kitchen
with the record changes
and the cats come out in amazement
and i hold that i’ve arrived and i’m okay with it
time’s been ticking i just never saw it
and i would reckon never gave much thought
im in the right place i dont wanna go
in the silence of the old tv
we charge up our tea leaves
and the trash that wasnt taken outside
blows back down the alleys
and i’ve held another door
another day a different store a different face
and i’ve gone on record saying that i’ve changed
i haven’t changed just took another form
with the full moon
in the window
and the day times out
with me dreaming
and the cell phone tower frequencies
talk above my breathing
i found another point
are you gonna find out?
i’ll never change i’ll just take other forms
when im on record saying that i’ll change
i haven’t changed just took another form

i was feeling great
playing high stakes hold 'em
thought i overcame the odds
while i was winning
but no one hand's the same
and my run i couldn't sustain
cause hearts were the only cards i'd play
i gotta get real
start betting smart
i'm always doubling down
when i'm not even up
you know even when i had a pair of aces
i threw that hand away
cause hearts were the only cards i'd play
so call a spade a spade
but don't call and risk the game
when hearts are the only cards you'll play
hearts aren't the only cards to play

reset these presets

[2022]
i said "Jesus, help"
and Jesus tried
but i wanted it my way
so he said "nevermind"
but i'm not what i've been
the right hand teaches the left hand
i will reset these presets on my dials
you loved me well
and well, i tried
kinda wasted your time
i guess you survived
but i'm not what you said
i'm a man who can understand
how to reset these presets on my dials
and i don't wanna drag my soul around
how many times can i make the same mistake?
what's the record for this many mistakes?
well i'm not what i've been
the right hand teaches the left hand
i will reset these presets on my dials
if man can get to outer space
my little chains they can be broken
i will reset these presets on my dials

good day

[2013]
it was a good day
for my friends and family
for my productivity
on the job and happily
for my lover
i don't mind
it was over there
i don't mind
if it's almost fair
good day
for national currencies
for the auto industry
for government policy
for the weather
good day
for new democracies
for Israel and Palestine
for Chinese factories
for the defense budgeting
for new technologies
for Christianity
for going to the beach

long reliever

[2012]
down by ten again
just put the long reliever in
when down, he's down for it
he's gonna be on and ready
love is mine
long relieving
got my shirt tucked in
hands to deceive
i got a good break
on my new two-seamer
love is mine
long relieving
what i meant
is life's such long relieving
when down you gotta sit
and put the long reliever in
