Momento Mori 02:39
If every waking moment Is a world all its own a snapshot of existence Like motion cast in stone Illusion, Illustration To build up, piece by piece Into language, explanation Morsels of a feast If every sentence spoken Is a life unto itself Soul and anguish burdened Gasping for a breath To give back to the listener A message, an idea A light to guide us along An experience to feel And how does that feel? To know it's not real. To see that your life is just a culmination of the situations your body moves through as try to understand the joys and aggravations of the give and take, the will to make, the tempt to take. And all we do is take, take, take, take, take, take.

Don't It? 01:22
Hey there honey-bee, what do you see lurking in the shadows between you and me? Is it the same old trope, or a silly joke, or the answer to a question that nobody's asking? Well if it's all of the above (and it is) then why don't we all just sing about love? Again and again until it's spread so thin that it doesn't exist, Just like that bought and sold, blind happiness. So now we can all at least die with something. But everything feels a whole lot like nothing, don't it? Hey there honey-bee, what's there to believe if everybody's got their own prophecy? Is it time to repent, or get real bent over every injustice that you've ever met? Been told that you can't have it both ways, as if every day just ends up the same (hey!), but things are constantly changing; molecules rearranging. Take a walk on the bright side, and quit your complaining; now we can all at least die with something. But take a good hard look at nothing.

Broken down, stoned and drunk In Kansas City, watching that old River move along It takes with it the silt and runoff Unimpeded, and without Need of Song But I write about it anyway And I'm sure I'm not the first To be taken by this situation And to need to turn it into verse Kindred spirits are these penmen With the gamblers, buying their lives From an unstoppable force So Flow along old river In the well worn words of the past Words that ring true now as ever Words to help make good times last

You dont know what I know And I don't know what you know And it could be said that we are strangers But I know that's not the answer Cause I can see you in full color And I believe we can see each other There is a chance we're alive in simulation Trapped here inside some great mind's elation And you and I were made for each other Two halves of a mind colliding together And I can see you in full color And I believe we can see each other Here in this world, alive to our senses Convinced that it's real, and taking our chances

That Boredom 02:51
Suppose, for a moment, that everything's worth it No need for discernment; your taste is obsolete And imagine, now, someone so engrossed in that boredom Could decide this or that in your absence Of consciousness, of intention Regardless of contrition That may arise from losing grip on your world It's the sort of thing that happens Over time despite great chances To achieve some sort of greatness on your terms A series of transactions, mistakes, and inactions Tear apart the only self you'll ever know Woe, woe
