Notebooks 02:05
no you can't search my bag it's full of tricks this life demands pen and pad, maps and dreams you change yer locks while I dry my ink nothing to hide but this life is mine no reason for you to pry I am the brother who disagreed with everything they told me

Blister Fits 01:37
if I ever had a story to share with you it'd be about wearing out the soles of my shoes and sleeping under trees not praying for rain just waiting on a ride, yeah waiting all day the midwests alright when ya got nowhere to go and the south helps ya move right along that road but it's the people ya meet just outside of town that never stop to ask you why yer hanging around arrows welcoming hiding in the woods druid played his guitar he spoke about the mounds, how they aligned with the stars and the power of his river beyond its divide he armed me with wisdom and gave me my last ride 12 long hours and 50 miles gone I finally made it up to where I was headed all along I drank like a fish, threw the river at stones then passed out in someones car all alone I woke up and saw some chick pissing on cars

I'm spoiling my appetite, she's been on my phone all night we're cooking short grain brown rice I don't need no recipe controlling my creativity I've made a million meals before most of which were edible and I don't want no measuring cup to tell me when enoughs enough I prefer to experiment in my kitchen I'm spoiling my appetite, she's been on my phone all night we're cooking short grain brown rice a pinch of love, a tablespoon of care I'm in no rush, why don't ya get outta here? I'll add just enough of all the right stuff what were you thinking mixing those things up? where's my list and what's the time? make sure the onions are caramelized preheat the oven to 350 and set up that movie, it's almost time to eat he ate way too fast, but I'ma offer him the rest we're digesting short grain brown rice
5.
when I was young I dreamt of growing up then at eighteen people told me it would suck but here I am now living my life older and odder and more enticed
6.
have ya heard the news? yeah, it's getting pretty bad sure the world is still spinning but everybodys gone mad unemployment is high and crime is on the rise do we even stand a chance? man I can't decide have ya seen the news? all the experts agree that we're well on our way into world war three there's talk of a draft but they took all our guns and they bought all the ammo ya think they're coming for us? we will never know what tomorrow holds so just let go... do ya even believe the news? they say we gotta be on alert cause everyones a suspect yeah, everybody on earth and when I hear the whispers I listen to every bit then pray on my knees for zombie apocalypse

Bum Jug Wino 01:28
hobo hooch, bum wine pass it around one more time if ya got a bottle of yer own set it down next to mine hobo hooch, bum wine pass it around one more time home brew is what I do and this batch is 30 proof bottled on my birthday a whole gallon of booze alone for the holidays what else is there to do? hobo hooch, bum wine pass it around one more time until we're warm and it's all gone I'm singing the same song
9.
Coffee Song 02:20
if I drink more coffee now I'll probably crash later but it doesn't matter cause I really need to wake up and drain away, another day for 40 bucks so tomorrow I can buy myself another cup drink up to speed up cause time waits for no chump punch in thoughts stop mindlessness is the job there just aren't enough hours in a day not enough anything to keep me engaged chasing someone elses dream for minimum wage when the moneys gone, will mine remain? blood shot mind numb and my shift hasn't even begun...
10.
the absence makes sense the absence of tracks carries me into nothing
11.
Lame Fade 02:03
air and energy drained it's getting expensive and annoying ruining the ride that I'd rather be enjoying but a blank page in this train's trash brought me back through the crush of the rush now she's screaming like a cat in heat but I don't mind it this time louder than the engine's grind more soothing than music more fun than crime
12.
coast downtown catch the northbound see the same face and share the same space race the sun's move 347 at 7:02 wave coyote down on the southbound tumbleweed retreats pedals pumping pumping sore feet sun burned and sand whipped wake up and relive the trip
13.
One Way 01:39
scratch my back and I'll scratch yours but I'm putting in more than you can afford so what do we do when the system fails? I don't know about you, but I set sail caught in a lie, I smiled and wondered "why should I ever have to cower?" you pulled the trigger in an attempt to decipher my passion, my life but freedom is the answer
14.
we snuck in to swim and left with a slice of the nice life the salt and the swell the manager's yell the thrill of it all is what I'm here to tell... throw away the locks and break the bolts feed us all until we're full give us the codes and the keys if the pantry is closed it's thievery if the gate won't budge we'll climb above and crawl below, you'll never know when your stash is gone the crumbs won't lead to anyone or anything let us eat!

Lots of Owls 01:19
16.
soak the milestone in plastic hotels and mid-grade wine about the plot as it unfolds as I go turning tricks through boardwalking trips in my tiny metal car collecting rent and breaking hearts the plan falls apart my scheme is brought to light and the party starts to end guess I'll sleep alone tonight..
17.
they killed artichoke for being too punk they don't know what they've done the war has just begun pirates from sea to webs now we are in your head
18.
M.I. 02:26
you nailed your memories through the bark of a tree in the forest where hatred reigned supreme it disguised itself as love and came to deconstruct a stranger's shrine in sober rage action is blind and I was drunk on ignorance I never meant to make you cry when I destroyed what was left of your gone love - your only son I only knew of projection I listened to your pain and cursed myself through clenched teeth and promised never to be so bold in my arrogance
19.
play that song one more time again and put that record back in its spin cause I can't get enough and now it is stuck in my head turn it up! I know you are sick of it but I'm still loving this so while you whine and moan I'll put on headphones
20.
Count Virago 02:38
learned to ride all alone sold everything to move on spent three weeks on the road camping out and growing old Coronado taught me how to overcome the west showed what desolate dreams become a cold bock in Texas helped me understand a San Antonio sanctuary took me in then I met up with a friend in Houston spent the night catching up then took off again rode up north to St. Louis the chained popped and almost killed me I met a man who really helped me out he showed me trust is what it's all about my uncle mapped out my last route I camped unannounced under fog clouds on my way down to the Missouri pond Count Virago counted down..
21.
Bagel Breath 01:38
shopping for the best deal trying to find a free meal I dove head first down into that old steel mountains of bagels fresh out the back door waiting to be picked like autumn orchards pogs and hockey sticks cookie cakes and produce books and mason jars framed art and notebooks one man's trash is my golden ticket to a free lunch living off the excess produce to consume but waste is all we do
22.
black cat come cross my crooked finger's path my head is on fire and I dont know where I'm at top the mountain, but I can't peak the crown as our ink dries we oughta paddle out before bird shit vows we can have tea at two and when we finally quench our thirst, we can howl at the moon trapped but the more I take, the more sense it all makes king of all molecules what the fuck have you done to my brain? every sip drips a puzzle piece twist now I am the master of your jedi mind tricks
23.
met you on the train on my way to a show we traded numbers on flyers as the doors closed thought that I scored, but more was in store instant messages sent confused sentences to a mind withdrawn from a line not drawn an avalanche of antics formed the plot's the pawn photography was yours and music was mine the nexus formed itself at the starting line but false flags and an uncertain intent had us running laps backwards before the race began I met yer friends and yer mom and yer dad smiled for the camera and shook hands then dragged off as an idiot accomplice to a childish crime left unaccomplished the odd man out at a stranger's prom "just for fun" became "world's lamest date" I called it quits but it was too late
24.
I looked all over for an answer but found nothing different except opinions and advice aimed at shaping my decisions I listened to everybody's thoughts on the risks of such an action but hoped to be persuaded into achieving satisfaction I had a chance to sleep in motion living my life's dream but passed it up for another night of scoping out the streets an hour later another opportunity called out to me then fifty million more while I laid out thinking of the infinite possibilities the world slowed down for me but I didn't do anything I just sat back and had another drink wishing for a different reality from the bench under the tree to the center of the city where all our paths meet I just watched and walked up to the edge only to step back and get caught up in my head action nothing it was all just thought though I had the chance to break it all up I just sat back nothing held me but my own fear of giving up ownership of what I can never own I'm growing old, so now's the time to get in line and learn to see there's no such thing as certainty...
25.
the weirdest things come to mind while I stare into the space outside my bedroom window the mountain is there, it hasn't moved the seasons come and are gone soon like cycles my thoughts they follow suit and wander the hills in search of food charity versus fasting you give in times of plenty otherwise you can't survive and your life force quickly empties borrowed was the first mistake and passive was the last combustion for these rusted parts I paid too much in advance mob versus the herd where nothing is absurd except the grain against the board his argument quickly meets the floor from the neck down to the knees ride the collar of your enemies stretched and strained well I'm out of place but thanks for letting me get away the mountain is there, it hasn't moved the seasons come and are gone soon like cycles my thoughts they follow suit and wander the hills in search of food

Escapism 03:41

Belen & Back 02:16
wanna go for a ride, can't stay locked up inside gonna have to bleed these demons dry searching for a cooler tide go where nobody knows me gotta go and pierce that screen tear a hole in the sky and wait for the next storm to rise
28.
I'm sick of work I wanna sleep and catch up with my fucking dreams can't I afford just a little more of my life, and yes it's mine I'm gonna break away this time from bosses, rent, fees and fines I'm gonna take back what is mine fuck a job and gridlock and being taxed fuck profit hogs and hour logs and the clock
29.
look back, but don't laugh it all made sense in the past who knew it wouldn't last? and though it's never lost what's done is done for the best burnt like old forts stashed like banned books free eternally through the memory of who we used to be free from the disguise broken down and built back better now
30.
Beer Pocket 08:25
adapt to circumstance fluidity is the key when in doubt, just look around learn how not to speak about right here, right now it's already gone somehow you've missed the moment for another frozen ocean and when I see you I know I see myself too and when you're not there I become atmosphere shapeless and nameless until I reflect on the very nature of this existence and for that instant I completely forget and all the details become irrelevant adapt to circumstance fluidity is the key when in doubt, just look around learn how not to speak about right here, right now it's already gone somehow you've missed the moment for another frozen ocean the river flows through my fingertips I hardly know you as all boundaries slip and I lose me for infinity but return by waves back to sand and cave and when I see you I know I see myself too and when you're not here I just disappear - -- --- -- - can't sit still, I wanna live life like the chaos that rages deep inside one thing to the next, it's never the same static is death, dynamics my name all encompassing is this thing that keeps me a stranger to sleep rolling and running and writing awake gonna burn this body and mind away cause it's all that I got nothing's guarenteed when ya live the dream except a done end when ya old and bored looking back but never keeping score

about

These songs are the result of an experiment a friend told me about while working on an ecovillage up in northeastern Missouri. The project was to try and write a song a day for a month.

It helped me blast through creative blocks, rewire how I thought about writing and recording music and most of all gave me something 'productive' to do with all my free time.

It was fun and fruitful and I'd recommend it to anyone who has interest in letting their mind and spirit wander.
