Work EP (2017)
Be Here Now
​
I take my time
I can't afford to waste it
Standing in line
The modern-day uncomfortable way
I made my mind up
I wanna spend it with you
Running in place
Is positively madness
I hear you say,
It doesn't have to be this way.
I feel it too and
I wanna be here with you.
So I'm making a change
I'm turning the night to day
Oh Iet time get away
It hasn't a thing to say
These are the days
The hours are illusion
Only mistake
Is feeling that they're getting away
I want my time back
I wanna spend it with you.
Oh I'm making a change
I'm turning the night to day
So Iet time get away
It hasn't a thing to say
All I need is a friend
Who knows about the stars
I know that you are.
I want my time back
I want to spend it with you
These are the days
The hours are illusion
Only mistake is feeling that they're getting away
I want my time back
I want to spend it with you
I need a friend who can be here too
And I know that you are
I want my time back
I want to spend it with you
I want to be here with you.

Case Study
​
Learning how to know you
Knowing how to be myself
In your city
On TV
At the same time
Knowing how to stay calm
Even when my arms get tired
With my power
And your power
At the same time
Wishing you would be mine
This isn't love
Not in the way that I've been looking for
Bet you would destroy me
And be a better friend
After I quit dreaming I can change your mind
Wish I could erase mine
This isn't love
Not in the way that I've been looking for
Thank you for being
Such a lovely individual.
​
Cheer Up Free Your Mind
​
I need a place
To lay my knees
And rest my spirit
Be at be at be at ease.
I'll be your teacher
And you teach me
And if you ask me
How do you feel right no w?
I'll say I'm golden
I'm getting through
And I'll forever
Be at be at be at ease.
And I would ask you
How do you feel right now?
How do you feel right now?
Cheer up and free your mind.
Cheer up in your mind
Cheer up and free your mind
And have a good time
Cheer up and free your mind
Cheer up in your mind.
I'll be your healer
And carefully
I'll be your Richard IV.
And if they ask you
How do you feel right now?
How do you feel right now?
How do you feel right now?
Cheer up and free your mind
Cheer up in your mind
Cheer up and free your mind
And have a good time.
Cheer up and free your mind
Cheer up in your mind
Cheer up and free your mind
And have a good time
Cheer up and free your mind
Cheer up in your mind.

Holiday
​
This time of year
I get my favorite things
I've chosen them all pretty dearly
I put em together
And honor, for free
My reality
On my holiday
2-D-A-Y
H-O-L-I-D-A-Y
Well oh well, oh me oh my
Y'all come over!
I found God
She's in the Arctic Circle
Checking on a submarine
The sky is falling
There's a pie on the table!
And how it speaks to me!
On my holiday
2-D-A-Y
H-O-L-I-D-A-Y
Well oh well, oh me oh my
Y'all come over!
I am a lover
I'm looking for others
Thinking of life pretty clearly
It's everything
It is you, it is me
The land and the deep blue sea
And it's a holiday
2-DAY
H-O-L-I-D-A-Y
L-O-L, oh me oh my
Y'all come over!
Y'all come over! 2-D-A-Y
Y'all come over! 2-D-A-Y
Y'all come over!
Try, company, try!
Try, company, try!
Come celebrate it
Or you're aiding in the
Ending of our time.
Come to believe it
Or you're even
The awful reason
for decline.

Schopenhauer On Love
​
I could leave here
My only regret
Being shy
And the work I left behind.
I resigned
Til this evening
When I lost my mind
Over you
Suddenly I'd like to go on living.
I'm not scared
I never wanted
A kid, or even an automobile.
Maybe here I'm in agreement
With Schopenhauer
On love.
Suddenly I'm dying to leave the city
And I realize
Suddenly I'd like to have a child.
I can achieve
A healthy routine
Solitude and Hollywood romance.
But I want more now
I rescind it
I'll throw it away
For Love.
And the day I'm writing songs again
And I realize
Suddenly I'd like to change my name.
I was never built for being lonely
And I realize
Suddenly I'm dying to live in Rome.
