Howard has a problem.
02:39
|

Down the street is the bureau of broken dreams
Storms in their eyes and regret on every face you meet
Howards in the alley becoming less than a man
While he spends his nights alone and throws himself at whoever he can
Howard has a problem
He can’t get enough
Of his older ways
Dips into a suicide
Apples in his cyanide
Everyday
Down the street is the center of mental care
He goes there everyday to talk to people who don’t care
He can’t sleep ‘cause he’s afraid of having a dream
But I don’t really blame him ‘cause he’s got a king of hearts up his sleeve
Howard has a problem
He can’t get enough
Of his older ways
Dips into a suicide
Apples in his cyanide
Everyday
Howard has a problem, things are getting tough,
Living under a rock, now I think he’s had enough
Howard has a problem, things are getting worse,
Getting closer to the day that he’s buried ‘neath the earth
Howard has a problem, life is getting tough,
Now there’s no more Howard, Now he’s had enough
Howard had a problem
He just had enough
Of his older ways
Committed to his suicide
Apples in his cyanide
To this day
And now there’s no more Howard

I don’t think and I don’t drink
I don’t know anybody by name
Just a picture, just a stat
Hoping they’ll make the good times last
Mr punk is trying to run the show
Beat me to things that I’ll never know
Put the sticker on the wall
Put the dentist on the phone call
And I know it’s a part of me
And its just in my fantasies
And I think about the things that are
Only in my wildest dreams
So go on, you can
Pick and choose your destiny
But I won’t be caught dead
Living out my fantasies
Got my gadget in my hand
Hoping I can be the promised man
I love to lose a game of chance
With cursed fingers obeying my commands
Mr punk is trying to run the show
Beat me to things that I’ll never know
Put the sticker on the wall
Put the dentist on the phone call
And I know it’s a part of me
And its just in my fantasies
And I think about the things that are
Only in my wildest dreams
So go on, you can
Pick and choose your destiny
But I won’t be caught dead
Living out my fantasies
Mr punk is trying to run the show
Beat me to things that I’ll never know
Put the sticker on the wall
Put the dentist on the phone call
And I know it’s a part of me

And I think about the things that are
Only in my wildest dreams
So go on, you can
Pick and choose your destiny
But I won’t be caught dead
Living out my fantasies

Hey pretty girl,
what you doing with me
Don’t you know there’s
plenty of fish in the sea
Your eyes are blue as the ocean
at high tide
I don’t want to cause a commotion,
just want to be by your side
You should know that we’re
all transfixed by your gait
How far will I go to
Ask you on a date
Ah pardon me but,
Could you tell me your name
I’m not normally this way
But I just can’t wait
You’ve got all I’ve been searching for
How can I live without you
Stay with me forever more
And you can be sure that I’ll stay too
Now where was I
Oh, how could I forget
It’s hard to think that this
Is the first time that we’ve met
Your voice is sweet
reminds of licorice candy
But do you mind if I
Take you somewhere fancy
And you should know that
You’re the first one I’ve loved
I should thank the lord
For giving me such luck
You’re crazy babe but
I’m crazy too
And there’s some crazy words
That I need to say to you oh
You’ve got all I’ve been searching for
How can I live without you
Stay with me forever more
And you can be sure that I’ll stay too
What a pair we both could be
If you and me were together
You will always remain in my heart
And I’ll never find anyone better
How does the beach sound
A tropical island somewhere
Where we can lay back
And never have a care
We can be happy
To the end of our days
And you will be with me
And we will stay together
Be mine forever

Hello my friend
I see your pain
I know it’s hard
Lets start again
Let’s have some fun
Stare at the sun
Lie on the ground
No one else around
I can feel you
And your problems too
You know I understand
So take my hand
I can feel you
And your problems too
And you can feel me
And my comforting
Know I understand
So take my hand
I’ll always be here for ya
If you ever need my help
And I’ll always be near ya
So I can keep you in good health
I can feel you
And your problems too
And you can feel me
And my comforting
Know I understand
So take my hand

I made a friend today
She shows me who I am
When I talk to her
She seems to understand
Melted together
We’re stuck forever
Til life do us part
I wrote a note today
And passed it to my friend
I know she’s illiterate
But she still understands
Melted together
We’re stuck forever
Til life do us part
Melted together
We’re stuck forever
Til life do us part
I am you
And you are me
One is two
and two’s not free
I smile and you frown
My up is your down
I swear cross my heart
That we will never part
Melted together
We’re stuck forever
Til life do us part
But I’m still hoping
This bond can be broken
And we can both restart

Tongues out lickin lookin at the burnt feet basted in oil
In my backyard eating grass Spitting it out
Frying on the tarmac Eating in a shelter
While a dead 6 leg insect makes me shout
Hammer meets thumb splinter meets fingertip
Paint meets shirt and sweat meets eyes
And I’m dead outside tip-stepping to a heaven
Sky falls hard and hits me with surprise
The fire in the sky burns through my pane
And it’s past 100 degrees
The clouds have all parted and soon I’ll be departed
If there isn’t ever a breeze
Antiperspirant a drug Everyone is addicted to
Every crack and every crevice exposed to the hot hard truth
Can you believe that the trees are alive
If we meet our demise in a season we despise
Becoming red and wet is something to get used to
Even though we used to laugh and play I wish that I could freeze
I’m scared to go outside cause my mind hits the sky and they don’t agree
And the conditioner won’t get us fixed because we already use too much if you know what I mean
The fire in the sky burns through my pane
And it’s past 100 degrees
The clouds have all parted and soon I’ll be departed
If there isn’t ever a breeze
I want a life where I can live
And breathe and see without being blurry
My house is a mirage
Because the espionage has broken through
And the enemy is everywhere
Lurk in the dark and I’m still too hot
Got to dry off living off cool air I find anywhere
Can I please get a breeze if the heat won’t tease me anymore, just let me in the door, I begging you please,
The fire in the sky burns through my pane
And it’s past 100 degrees
The clouds have all parted and soon I’ll be departed
If there isn’t ever a breeze

Honestly
03:37
|

The room is quiet
The air is still
The dust is setting
On my windowsill
The fire has gone out
Sparks only in despair
This house is nothing
When you’re not there
I still wonder how I got here
And you still haven’t shed a tear
Honestly
I thought I’d be
The one to make you cry
Who could know
How far I’d go
To hear you say goodbye
I start to hum
Even sing your song
To escape the reality
That the magics gone
But I’m still hoping
That I can stay strong
But who am I kidding
This ain’t no fun
I’m on the couch lying around
The days without you are more than I can count
Honestly
I thought I’d be
The one to make you cry
Who could know
How far I’d go
To hear you say goodbye
I’ll hang around
Cause I’ve nowhere to go
I’ll hang around
And I won’t be leaving home
Honestly
I thought I’d be
The one to make you cry
Who could know
How far I’d go
To hear you say goodbye

Happier Than Ever
04:02

Down on the corner I pay the price of happiness
Walk into my house with a broken entrance
Make sure I’m alone and I start to breathe in
I open myself to the world I’ve been missing
Everybody loves me
Everything is happy
I’m living in ecstasy
I am happier than ever
I am happier than ever
I watch as the people and the days pass me by
I convince myself that all the world is a lie
I travel the land in my chair with my mind
I hope to be like this for the rest of my life
The whole world is smiling
I’m going crazy
I’m living so freely
I am happier than ever
I am happier than ever
I feel low down so I’ll start again
I live in a world where no ones my friend
I’ll go back to the place that I know best
Just give me some more, I have to ask
I’ve lost all of my money
And my life has lost its meaning
I’m feeling pretty bad
So I get happier than ever
I am happier than ever
I feel happier than ever
I am happier than ever

Click click
I use the cursor
Select my history
something interesting
What’s this
When I go further
I get through the mess of it
And get to the best of it
Hello
This is a forum
I hope you all share my opinions
If no
Then you're not welcome
I think that we should start living
Blip bloop
I’ve found something new
Don’t know if it’s true
The web is full of clowns
Maybe
I’ll find something nice
And I’ll feel alright
And shut down
Scrolling
I reach the bottom
Time for the next page
I know that it’s staged
Rolling
Along am I wrong
Time to look it up
Now I’ve had enough
I need a segue
Look at the rhyming
Dictionary
I need to get the timing
Down
I used an app to write this
song

Just A Boy

Just push on through the day
Lord, don’t let her feel this way
I’m scared for her life
Lord, please take the knife
If you must, just lock me away
Lord, I’m just a boy
A boy with a mother he loves like a toy
Lord, I’m just a son
A son with a mother, a mother he loves
It starts when the sky is clear
The words bring the clouds near
I hardly can bear it when the
Chance is so rare and
The rain is all that I hear
Lord, I’m just a boy
A boy with a mother he loves like a toy
Lord, I’m just a son
A son with a mother, a mother he loves
Please, don’t let her feel this way
It adds for more words I can say (I can’t do it)
I sulk in a room
Where it’s coming soon
If you must, please show me the way
Lord, I’m just a boy
A boy with a mother he loves like a toy
Lord, I’m just a son
A son with a mother, a mother he loves
Lord, I’m just a boy
A boy with a mother he loves like a toy
Lord, I’m just a son
A son with a mother, a mother he loves

Here I start again
I will go it alone
I won’t leave the same
I’m stuck in my mind
Where it starts to play
And now it’s gone, and I’m on my own
Out of hollow
I make my own place
Out of the chair
Appearing
Out of thin air
And I keep it all in my space
I can shut every door
I can keep everyone out
I can’t wait
I can’t wait
Would you care
If I went away
No more of the machine
An I’m all these people
That aren’t me
But I should be happy, so hooray
I can shut every door
I can keep everyone out
I can’t wait
I can’t wait
I can shut every door
I can keep everyone out
And I’m my own radio
Playing what I want to hear
I can’t wait
I can’t wait
I can’t wait
I can’t wait
I can wait
