Fish

its kinda cool
having the grey above you
and the black below you
just an endless sea of melancholy
everywhere you look

its kinda cool
how you can just float
everythings peaceful
so its not like you have anything to bother you
and you look at yourself
and youre the only colorful thing
in the whole universe

its kinda cool
for once in a lifetime
to be the center of everything
the only light in a dark place
but then you step out and realize that youre alone.

This Summer [Song]

Sorry I've been gone so long! I've been in New Hampshire for a couple weeks now, and we just got internet here and I'm alone so I can blog :)

Here's the most recent song I've written, I wrote it about a day ago I think, but it's about time I wrote a new one.

And it's really mellow, with some nice guitar fingerpicking, so when it says guitar solo, it's not like air guitar status

Waking up to the taste of your lips on my tongue

Hurt almost as much

As trying to sleep

With your scent on my pillow last night

We finally got this crazy thing to work out

After all these years

Of hanging in backyards,

Swinging ropes and playing cards.

How long will it be before I see you again?

How long until I find someone to settle down with?

Cause this time you melted me with your kiss

Cause you blew me away with your soft, sweet, tenderness.

But I never thought that this time,

Would be a lie.

Choking up to the sound of your gentle goodbye

I had you in my arms at last

But wishful thinking held me fast

And you say the words I never planned to hear

Without knowing that I won’t see you next year.

How long will it be before I see you again?

How long until I find someone to settle down with?

Cause this time you melted me with your kiss

Cause you blew me away with your soft, sweet, tenderness.

But I never thought that this time,

Would be a lie.

[Guitar solo]

How long will it be before I see your sweet blue eyes again?

How long until I find someone like you to settle down with?

Cause this time you melted me with your gentle kiss

Cause you blew me away with your soft, sweet, tenderness.

But I never thought that this summer,

This one last night,

Would be a lie.

Champ

All you feel is the bass thumping through your legs.
When you all line up in a row,
and your name is called,
you can hear the cheers from the crowd
and the speakers shake with their words.
But during the game,
you can't hear anything.
Even the bass, even the parents, even the coaches.
Everything is gone.
And afterwards,
when the everyone is jumping
and cheering
and it's perfect,
the bass is rattling my bones again.
And as they slip the medal over my head,
I realize what it feels like to be a champion.

Masquerade

I stared into the water whispering,
"Please come out, please, please come out."
And it did.
I said,
"Who am I?"
and I stared back at myself and it whispered
"You know"
and rippled away.
