Mid July

[Verse]
My sober sip of inference
Glances over my shoulder when I refuse to bend
I know the better part of what you say
Will find home in my head eventually
My compass, as sunken as it is
Still invokes the emotion where I will choose the drift
I know that every living soul will cling to purpose
Then why won’t I pity desperate

[Pre Chorus]
‘Cause I haven’t flown that high
But I’m always down to try

[Chorus]
Found a note in the summer sky 
It said lonely’s born in mid July
Told to hope and told to fly
But the stun is born in mid July
For the moment I feel fine
But there’s something born in mid July
Oughta know its where’s or why’s
When it’s only born in mid July

[Outro]
Yet I won’t give it the best that I can and I get it
But I just want some semblance of rest
I don’t think I’ve ever had enough
And I shake hands with every blessing I get and I cherish them
So I just need you to understand that best is yet to
The best is yet to, the best is yet to

And in this theoretical, if you say "I wouldn't add one," Roger opens a defamation lawsuit against you

Can we remember the cost of it all?
Did I stumble or did I fall?
It’s your call

This life takes me to places
I can’t reach on my own travail
Bid my blood will be racing
In this golden cell

All I remember is how it began
The silhouette of wonder embedded in man
Is it planned?

This life takes me to places
I can’t reach on my own travail
Bid my soul to its stasis
In an open shell
With this brunt that’s been taken
I only hope that my bones prevail
In this home of complacence
In this golden cell

Wide curl in a silhouette 
Who coulda sought it any better than this
It might hurt when it arrives
Light bursts from a tv set
‘Cause dreaming in dumb is only dreaming in debt
It can’t hurt to peek inside (a liminal alibi)

Wipe smirk now
It’s what you oughta limit 
And you should
Wipe smirk now
If it’s all you really wanted
Then you should 

Tight twirl, a pirouette
Neurons calling for recess
Best get it when it’s buy one get one (buy one get one)
Sight swirl, you indifferent?
Can’t digest what isn’t finished yet
Blink twice to sign the next one (find the next one)

Wipe smirk now
It’s what you oughta limit 
And you should
Wipe smirk now
If it’s all you really wanted
Then you should
Wipe smirk now
It’s all you could envision
And you should
Wipe smirk now
It’s all you ever wanted
Like you should 

(Repeating)
If you say you want
What you say you want
If you say you want
What you say you want

(Over top repeat)
Smile since you’re able
At high hope lending its hand
Smile since you’re capable
Like you stand a chance
When using the, when using the mask

If you could envision the moment an opening holds
Would you even go in?
‘Cause I’ve been delighted by how my naivety knows
I wouldn’t have noticed 
If you are not thinking ahead you are falling behind
And that’s how it goes kid
A smile is only a smile when history shows
There’s always a motive

This is shaping up to be a post-rock song.

Masses of the Earth

You got what you asked for better or worse
The truthful knell
You don’t even catch it, but it hurts
My only desire before I burst
Is to bend with the center of masses of the earth
I long for the moment my body turns
To energetic synapses like I know it should

It’s bound to happen
It swung from the gutters
As you could imagine it would
When grand collapses
Dipped in the gold rush
Of sifting the stones that push the pull

Turned the light out on that pretty soul
And used the nice residual to guide it straight
But there’s a lack of synergy in the way you see it
And the way it has to be
I dream more when I’m awake
But I still think I’m asleep

Then could it be that
I’m pulling too much
Opening through dust
When only the universe must
