The Source
04:20

I'm getting back to the source again
My mission to inspire and support again
through my connection to everything
without being too annoying.
Shave my beard, let it go
Cut my hair. Said I'm done.
But I know it will come back again.
Depression.
Guess I got lost in myself again
Focusing on the fear of what if
Guess I got too big for my britches
Something had to come and knock me down.
That's my teacher, makes me small
Only thing that I know
that I know it will come back again
Just as sure as hair grows back again
but It's alright. It's just life.

I'm Gonna Be Fine
03:26

I'm gonna be fine
I've got everything I need in life
When I'm in a pinch my friends step in and bring me tasty lunch
When my dog is sick he still just licks my face and shows me endless love
When he dies I'll know I tried my best to bring him endless love.
All that I ever need
swirling inside of me
just need to stay out of my own way.
Money will get low but I am handy and I'll make it back
Sometimes I feel low but I'll just wait it out till joy comes back
Take it one day at a time and everything will be ok
The future's a ways away so I'll just focus on today.

Therapy is Bullshit
06:02

Therapy is bullshit
Spirituality is bullshit
I thought that I was on to something
Turned out to be a big nothing
Cuz I feel just as empty as before
Searching for the answers like before
I just needed a path to latch on to
Now I've reached the end and I'm confused
What's underneath it?
Did I never reach it?
I stirred up my emotions
I worked on my relationships
And all I got was this T-shirt
and everybody knows I'm hurt
But is it anybody's fault?
It doesn't really matter.
I think it's time to drop the axe
I think it's time to turn off the searchlight
Maybe I'm just trying too hard
I don't need a secret to be me
And isn't that the purpose of searching?
I just need to stop thinking.

Cultivate Dumb
02:48
|
|||
|
I could try to be so smart but it's harder to be dumb
I could try to figure it out or I could let it go
Now that I have tried to grip it I can put it down
Now that I have wrestled with it I can take the L
People try to cultivate smart but I cultivate dumb
I used to try so hard to make art now I just have fun
When I sit and literally do nothing insights start to come
When I do the obvious thing I have truly won.

Disappoint Me
04:19
|
|||
|
You didn't disappoint me
I need to do my own thing
You think that it is always someone else's fault
I've learned not to expect things
Been burned by people not showing
for me when I need help so I go it on my own
Is it true that people live in
their own worlds that we might visit
but in the end everybody
goes into the earth alone?
It might not be all my fault but
I take credit for what i control
which gives me hope and makes me humble

Nothing to Say
02:42
|
|||
|
I don't have anything to say today
I think I'd rather have it be that way
I don't have anything to say today
and that's ok.
I'll let the world speak for itself today
I don't have anything to add
I try to pay attention to the signs
Maybe they're telling me to rest.

Maturity
03:36
|
|||
|
I don't know what maturity is
I thought it was just whatever I did
Maybe if I never have kids
and get a real job I never will
I got a friend who recently started
partying and doing drugs
But who am I to say he's on the wrong track
when I'm not settled in myself?
I suspect that I won't know
till I take the plunge into the unkonwn
These days no one tells you what to do
That's our struggle and our truth
