The Rain
03:46

I don't hate the rain, but I wish it'd pick a better time... like starting after I punch-in and wrapping up before I punch-out to enjoy a day of sun. It seems like always instead the rain knows... when it is not wanted and when it can piss on everything I've planned. But I still don't hate the rain, I just wish it'd chill out sometimes like when I wanna go to outdoor festivals or plan a bike ride to a picnic beachside. It seems it always comes down. The clouds just know when they are not wanted and when they can grey out everything.

Time to hurry out the door and go pickup what I've ordered. Even with the shipping cost, it was just $4.92 a box. Here's a tune about Captain fucking Crunch. Yeah! I love Captain fucking Crunch. Woo! Crunch! Now I hurry back inside to pour a bowl of breakfast delight. Can't wait to eat this bowl of Captain fucking Crunch. Woo!

Dad do you know last time I was home I had a bowl of your cereal. Thanks for sharing with me. Dad do you get how much I learned from you when I was just a little kid. Thanks for the imprinting time. Dad do you like where I've taken my life, and my tries to reach brand new heights? Thanks for... uhh... Thanks for everything.

Hangry Batman

It's all processed chicken ass. Na na na na... Nah, where's the good shit? I want the chicken strips, now! Don't tell me to be more patient! I'm in no mood to be fucked with! I want the chicken strips! Well, it was about that time that Batman, motivated by his own call to work through lunch and blind to his duty of upholding justice in Gotham, flew behind the counter and just put the young cashier in a chokehold. Batman was dishing out a walloping with a large side of infamy, and yet the boy didn't seem aghast or overcome by anguish, no, in the security footage, you can see him smirking, and as Batman made away with the chicken, the boy said it was, 10 percent guano. Here, I owe you a dollar. Hey, in my defense, I left a fair tip, as if that punk deserved it. No one stands between me and my fix. I'll kill to get my chicken strips! But if I do that, if I allow myself to go down into that place, I'll never come back.

Puebla in June
04:49
|
|
||
|
Long bus ride in, hugs and hellos, hatchback of friends, reunions rad, playing some shows, booze and street food, avoiding pigs, limitless laughs, feels just like home, sleeping til two, local breakfasts, quesadillas, Toy Story woes, pop pops indoors, mini-roadtrips, performance plans, climbing steep roads, cool photoshoots, hitting markets, lunch with the fam, such nice people, napping... and I really miss just hanging out with you, burning down on the couch, shoving food in our mouths. Oh... time so quick-spent, driving so fast, memory's slow, too many moons, street actors spin, drinking in jazz, big volcano, and I miss just hanging out with you, watching 'flix on the couch, killer clips shot for our song. When I think about Puebla in June, smiling hijacks my downs, I'm dancing on the clouds with love and peace.

Parity V Disparity

Founded for felons, John and Jane Doe's, too great a distance to walk, we could only wait to atone. Now, in six pieces, states each decide on what’s the lore. Droughts that span seasons, but we still drink Very Best. 21.5 million strong, what you got? Founded with God in mind, look here, glaciers, and fertile the soil is, one solid lore. 4.25 million live here, mountains of dairy cows selling out, fuck exporting coal. Hounded to fit a shoe that smashes the toes, too narrow the line that you walk, how much of it is all just a show? Frown, your land is for the birds, and wool is a bitch to wear. How would like to see a mob of Roos on the beach? So our sheep and flying friends aren’t the least bit poisonous, can the same be said about you? Equal. Unequal. All.. that we can do is throw a stone into the sea between us. Equal. Unequal. All... of these differences, like fences splitting up a yard owned by one family.

Just Off the Earth
04:28
|
|

I tell myself just chill while the frozen stew thaws. My crew: long gone, and time's become something that kills. Just off the Earth, I wish we could go back. Comms down, no news, just pangs of dread prodding my side. Will to eat: lost, but I can’t waste what little I have. Just off the Earth, I wish we could go back. Just off the Earth.
