A beginning clear

I've fallen from my written word
I saw the edge but couldn't turn
I tried from high to be the bird
But later found the falling burn
The fire heated my watered pot
Laying still in no type of shock
The blinding highs which I sought
Were nowhere found around my block
Holding court inside the heads
Of brainwashed stones and fakes
The spirit slept in softer beds
And so the turns my journey takes
They bring me laughter filled tears
The kind you see in the darkest dark
The kind that blind from all the fears
That all the others make their mark
For me this road is just forever
The concept froze my thoughts
The mainframe shook from the lever
Beginning the clears of clots

IA lives

I've witnessed greatness
I've seen true magic
I've been a part of something special
The feeling is coming back to me
I've touched the fire and I didn't get burned
I transcended
I'm back
The band is back
The band is a state of mind
I'm reentering the state

The band is innocent addicts
I'd like to take this moment to welcome back the band

jokes first

Jokes first
Always
It's easy to forget
To try to be yourself
No one wants you
They only want what they think you are
Don't ruin it for them
Don't be yourself
Not in the beginning
This should be clear
Start with the jokes
Get them laughing
Get them all laughing
As they loosen up you can start to connect
Then start to relate
Then show them who you are
As soon as they are invested
This is when you can be yourself

Post last

Post life living
Post dream dreaming
Post asked giving
Post life seeming

Last chance grabbing
Last time kept
Last chance stabbing
Last time slept

The honest dishonest

If you ever think it can't get worse
This is the time to hold on
You can't shake the old curse
Remember it's a long con
Shake it off and get yourself up
It's not a man who complains
My eyes see it as a half full cup
And forgettable pains
Lesser is the soul that looks the true
When inside they know nothing is straight
The dishonest honesty carried a few
While the rest of us stood for the wait

I stopped

I stopped writing
I stopped yoga
I stopped exercise
I quit eating candy like 100 times this year
I stopped meditating

I'm supposed to course correct
Look around
Take a breath
See what works
Discard what doesn't
Live a little
Maybe laugh

But I've stopped
I've been in stop land for some time now
Get me out of here!

Dream state waiting

Seven days of silent betrayal
Seven ways to sleep without fail
Holding to true
Living in lie
Lovingly blue
Still asking why
