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

Fantasy 03:16
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 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

Islander 03:01
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

Thermoset 02:40
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

Ouchy 02:57
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

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

Blip Bloop 02:42
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 Click 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 Blip bloop I’ve found something new Don’t know if it’s true The world is full of clowns Maybe I’ll find something nice And I’ll feel alright And shut down

Just A Boy 03:29
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

about

An optimized collection of my first home recordings, remixed and produced to fit together in a short yet diverse package. Within its compact 36-minute runtime are tastes of garage rock, psychedelia, synthwave, and singer/songwriter.

All songs on this album were recorded from late 2020 to late 2021 under the guidance of John Defoore. The album serves as a palette cleanser in my recording in order to focus on my future exploration in music.
