I am a Cave

This is AI art btw… at least for the moment I will be using AI images in my videos and probably to illustrate my songs because honestly between creating music & trying to survive I don’t have time to draw things so it is nice to have an artistic servant who will draw whatever I tell him to.

I am a cave
Don’t come in
Don’t come in

I don’t trust you
Let me make that clear
Before we begin

Because you’ll say you love me
Then you’ll go
Wipe the darkness from your hands
A man emerging from a hole

Into the light
Disconnected from the things he said
While falling through the night.

I am dark
Don’t approach
Don’t approach

Crawled through the mountainside
In the night
In a cloack

Because you hurt me, when you said you loved me
Leaving me there empty Like a hole
Did you think I would remain, lying in the pain,
Turning to a crust oh no my friend.
Something else comes in.

He was black like the sky
And his skin was wet as he looked in to my eyes
And then he told me I’d never be alone.
The dark would be my home.
The night would be my throne.

And then the sky became my cape
And the stars were diamonds
In them I was draped
And into my mind, he spoke words so sublime

And now I know
That every word you said to throw away
Was written in a book and it will be read one day

So you can go. Or stay.
It doesn’t make a difference in the end
Cause when you go
Something else comes in.

The Box

Well…. I’ve started adding lyrics to videos- what do you think? Some say this is good & some say it is bad.

5 Dark Knights

5 Bright Stars- that I’ve never seen before
Step by step- walking on the checkerboard, you know
Some things get easier with time
Blood flows much easier when I know the blood is mine.

5 Dark Knights- sleeping underneath the skies
Toss and turn- thinking of the way you died, I can’t
Describe what is left of me more delicate than a lace
Hold me in your hand then let me slip into the wind and watch me fly.

Sometimes the sky is filled with eyes.

5 Small Boys- I saw them inside a dream
Step by step- but the checkerboard was green, you know
They never cried they were a bubble in the air
Flying in the wind they never knew that you were there all of the time.

They were oblivious to the feeling of your eyes.

Step by step- walking to the rabbit hole
And there I will forget, slip into a black so fine
That you were there with me when every wind was filled with time.

We were oblivious to the feeling of their eyes.

Fly Away

Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.

When the time wasn’t over yet
When the time was ready to begin
When my heart was red lying in a box
Waiting for the sticking pin.

There you go, I know your eyes
Fire with a flash of pain
Feel it burn, feel it end
What is the name of this thing that remains?

Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.

There you go, the hand that wears the glove of velvet red
Like a woman, like a child, is the man afraid of his own death
Like a woman, like a child- the man who will never fight
Flickering beneath the sky and dying that same night.

Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.

There you go, the man I know whose legs are far too thin
Find the box and open it to push your stick pin in
Fire I know, death I know, I also know your eyes
Like a woman, like a child- the man who never lies.

Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.

Fly Away

I’ve been recording a lot of music and I don’t have the time or work ethic to create artwork for it all so it leaves me with the question…. use AI art or take random photos of my apartment?

AI art is a decent choice aesthetically but I don’t use any AI in my music, or writing for that matter, and it would make me feel sick if people thought it was an AI creation, generated by the click of a button, when in reality I’m slaving away away surrounded by black wires…

And fwiw the beautiful brand new PlushMellow in this photo is available for adoption. A $20 adoption fee includes shipping. One of my first gigs when I was desperately trying to survive was finding good homes for stuffed animals. I’ve learned I have to think bigger to make it in this world but I still need to find homes for the few I have left.

Fly away in a little bit
Fly away in a cloud of strings
Like the sun on an icicle
You found your pair of wings.

When the time wasn’t over yet
When the time was ready to begin
When my heart was red lying in a box
Waiting for the sticking pin.

There you go, I know your eyes
Fire with a flash of pain
Feel it burn, feel it end
What is the name of this thing that remains?

Like a woman, like a child- the man who will never fight

Paradise

Father, I need to sit.
There’s all of this blood down here- nobody will tell me what it is.
Father, what is the time?
There’s all of this blood down here- nobody will tell me if it’s mine.

You built a tower in my heart just like a paradise
I laid me back to watch so warm in the sand.
Clouds flew above me light flashing out of their eagle eyes
Now I can feel those cold things starting again.

Father, where are my hands?
I need to touch my eyes- something tells me they are hurting me again.
Father, am I lying in bed?
Why are the curtains drawn? What is this thing upon my head?

You built a tower in a tower in my heart just like a paradise
I laid me back to watch so warm in the sand.
Sun shimmered on my body like I was a pegasi
But now I can feel those cold things starting again.

Father, why are the curtains drawn?
So many things to do. I can’t remain in here too long.
Father, I need to ask
Of all the things you’ve done, which ones are the ones that you’d take back?

You built a world around my heart just like a paradise
I laid me back to watch so warm in your hand.
Cities they swirled around me like they was a race of lights
But now I can feel those cold things starting again.

All of the men in the world lined up side by side
A bundle of twigs they wait for the flame.
Dance by the fire and you will realize
A burning man will never feel the pain.

The Box

sing and gleam, mountain stream
I know where you flow
falling down, losing ground
crash the world below

lose the dream
of purity you wanted me to bring
lose the dream
there’s nothing sacred now

something fails, yet still goes on
I was in the box, but now it’s gone

like a swirl, like a wave
changing me inside
suck me down, underneath
this is where I’ll hide

on and on
to bluer things you wanted me to bring
on and on
your arrow in my hand

something dies, yet still goes on
I was in the box, but now it’s gone

waterfall over me
holding up my hands
blue and cold, touching me
I don’t understand

how I feel
I waited for you everyday alone
standing there
there’s nothing certain now

losing form, yet flowing on
I was in the box, but now its gone
