I been off my game too long I sang my songs Rang that bell I came along For the ride Tryna map out this world inside Mind games that we playin How we live this life The world turns like a light bulb Burn like a match Struck underneath a light pole Might spit a poem for home Sing a verse for this earth Need money for rent But can’t purchase my worth It takes work To make Anything you care about My goals lofty It’s costly when they wear me out Why the Kate Spades and Bourdains Hurting so much Feel like any more pain Would certainly crush This whole planet I got my own antics And ways to cope Cook a meal Take a walk Make a joke Write a song From my thoughts See my folks I’m a simple kind of man at my core Find my hope in the kids Sing for the air that we breathe Dance to the music Of the spheres I hate it when my fears Take away my chance to hear The sweetness That life whisper in my ear Like I need this I try to acquiesce to the request I grew in the west My humans the best I try to do more Than consuming the next I see the moon and reflect Take it back Try to learn and connect What my head says To what I know in my chest To what requests does my soul say yes? Yes, I don’t wanna die with regrets No, I don’t wanna die with regrets Oh no, so I can learn and connect What my head says To what burns in my chest To what requests does my soul say yes? Yes, I don’t wanna die with regrets Get on my game again I see my friends Write my songs I make amends With ones that I hurt When I’m acting a fool Sorry I did it to you I hope we’re actually cool Hahahahaha Summer time And the livings easy

Cruising down the five, I’m alive I can dig the sun light shines in my eyes Cloud streaks & blue skies For you and I Came along for the ride What makes you laugh? What do you dream about And when it comes to pass How will you feel about it after all that time When nothing lasts forever But there we were All alone together Cruising down the five, I’m alone Listen to a beat In the heat on my phone Thanks to the Cash Bros and Sendai Mike Get in the zone of some kinda magical poem Flowin from my aura to the core of my bones How much of my life is just a story I was told? Breaking out the mold That’s just part of being human today Embrace your ways your Unusual tastes, ay We were riding on a mutual wave When paths cross It’s a Beautiful thing To share thoughts and hopes Plans and dreams And to watch the growth When we planted the seeds Offering time and attention I felt Caught up in ice cream what if it melts? Melts away away like the sunny days we shared Sweet moments we lounged in the subtleties Like drippin’ in the sound at discovery Or dippin’å through the town when we’re hungry When I was too broke And you would cover me I will not forget The way it felt to ride next to you But I yes I must help myself to get back to feeling in tune with me I know what makes you laugh I know what you dream about And when it comes to pass How will you feel about it after all that time When nothing lasts forever But there we were All alone together 'cause I don't know if this song means a thing But it’s a pleasure to sing And I don’t know if my work will mean much But I still pour all my love in it And I don’t how this game’s gonna end but It’s sure amazing to play play And I don’t know what to say, what to say, what to say It’s all floating away, away, away Cruising down the five, I’m alive I can dig the sun light shines in my eyes Cloud streaks & blue skies For you and I Came along for the ride Won’t forget

Well meaning self Seeking life and attention I stepped on a crack And I fell down to heaven To hell with my attitude Ego and mentions I’m on a bench probably Laughing at the circumstances Ya this life’s filled with lessons At some point I switched to some other dimension To fly with the eagles Make all these new friendships We're on a bench probably Laughing at the circumstances It’s funny how the earth she dances The verses write themselves out I’m just a servant Chances are the burst of inspiration Bouta take me away Take me, take me (Take me, take me) Somewhere I usually wanna be The more I learn to listen More this story seem sweet The war is in the news Where’s the poetry and peace? How we going to release All this pain and dis-ease Man I’m tryna keep the hype Maybe put some air up in the tires of my bike Smiling like a man who just finally found his wife Or something special like that Don’t have to measure the worth Just seekin’ love where we’re at Yes, this moment has been long awaited But let’s don’t make it complicated I don’t need to get drunk or faded 'cause this feel like a good vibration Well meaning self Seeking life and affection I stepped on a crack And I fell down to heaven To hell with my attitude Ego and mentions I’m on a bench probably Laughing at the circumstances Ya this life’s filled with lessons At some point I switched to Some other dimension To fly with the eagles Make all these new friendships We’re on a bench probably Laughing bout the... The breeze in the trees Makes it easy to believe That something greater than us Plays maker in love Gamechanger: these beats, like Hey stranger, what’s up? Let’s climb up in this tree Make dangerous (love/what) We ain’t complaining For nothing in this painting is rough It’s not the same as our lives But it’s still something to daydream The pain screams loud And our culture keeps wasting What is beautiful ...Change coming we’re Proud to be unusual Now, we got the present somehow Breathe it in and back out Looking up at the clouds Being well is allowed It’s okay to just mellow it out Chill in the meadow Surrounded by greens, yellows, and browns Singing Well meaning self Seeking life and connection I stepped on a crack And I fell down to heaven To hell with my attitude Ego and mentions I’m on a bench probably Laughing at the circumstances Ya this life’s filled with blessings At some point I switched to Some other dimension To fly with the eagles Make all these new friendships We’re on a beach probably Laughing at the circumstances

Such a treat I haven’t seen you in a week In need of something sweet Do you feel like we could meet up? Float by the stress we’ll just Leave it underneath us Ride with the vibe we’re just Feelin’ out the beat Haven’t seen you in a week or two In need of something sweet to do you feel like we could meet up? Forget the stress, we’ll just Leave it underneath us Ride with the vibe We can see just what the beat does Teach us, sweetness, re up on… Ice cream cones Walkin’ round the city we forget about our telephones Ain’t no Television radio on We got our own vibes, own glow, own song

We got the science of smarts We got the grind in our coffee Electric lights in the dark We got the spreadsheets and charts Pharmaceutical pills And hella places to park We got the smart phones Netflix, Facebook, amazon We see our stories as true We read the blogs and the news We buy whatever we want Barely know who it’s through Work for money ‘cause the rent is ‘bout due Get so damn drunk on distraction We forget what we once knew What were we wrong about? I cannot say exactly How could we Take on back these Powers that be Inside ourselves You are me I am you We are something greater than what we do What we can see What we believe to be true It’s so few opportunities to Look back on all the things that We took for granted And assumed would be true but What if the hustle and bustle just doubles our trouble? What if we wasting our minds as much as our muscles? What if the stuff we’ve been fed Is nothing nutritious (at all) Why does the water we drinking taste so suspicious? What does it mean to be male or female? Addicted to retail? Retweets and emails? I can’t say but I wonder In the midst of our lost gods And this deep hunger What were we wrong about? I cannot say exactly How could we Take on back these Powers that be Inside ourselves You are me. I am you We are something greater than what we see What we believe to be true It’s so few opportunities to Look back on all the things that We took for granted And assumed would be true What if the hustle and bustle just doubles our trouble? What if we’re wasting our time? What does it mean to be male or female Addicted to retail, retweets and emails? I can’t say but I wonder

Why do we hide? (Fear) What have we found? (Life) What’s up inside? (Love) Look all around (Pain) Dollar signs (Money) It’s fallin’ down (The world) I hear the times (Now) Callin' out The world goin’ to pot Our foundation is rotten Turn over the soil Someday give up on the oil Start something from scratch Instead of itching the rash When the air filled with ash What’ll we do with the trash? Smash gastro pubs with the cash bros Astro-guides and blackholes Speed past those lies and sad ghosts Good times with great minds Aligned in space time Dodge fools & wave bye to fake vibes Why do we hide? (Fear) What have we found? (Life) What’s up inside? (Love) Look all around (Pain) Dollar signs (Money) It’s fallin’ down (The world) I hear the times (Now) Callin' out We don’t treat anything ever as hallowed ground We just take what we want Swallow it down Get the food all delivered Barely learn to prepare it In some ways it’s embarrassing Just to be an American But we blessed still I know We got these iPhones A hypocrite; I’m sold on digital lifestyle too Is there some way to reconcile the truth? When everything ain’t what it seems Who are we trying to fool The science is skewed The church is confused And the words are misused Poisonous news All murder abuse the burdens of proof And in the midst, what are we learning to do? ...Day by day, who are we turning into? When we hide (Fear) All we found? (Life) What’s up inside? (Love) Look all around (Pain) Dollar signs (Money) It’s fallin’ down (The world) I hear the times (Now) Callin' out The world goin’ to pot

We could fly for days In the sky with the planes Take off on a trip Different wavelength Every day the page blank So we just filled it with our lives Then we gave thanks We got a limited time We could fly for days In the sky with the planes Take off on a trip Different wavelength Every day the page blank So we just filled it with our lives Then we gave thanks We got unlimited time We can discover a world That shines and shimmers Get back in time for dinner Cook up a meal that can heal Feel the divine delivered goodness and thrive Released from believing these binds Like “oh, that couldn’t be my life” C’mon get up off the sidelines This game’s for playing Let’s just make us some highlights Work with the contrast (Yes) Get the vibe right Feel it in your chest When you see it in your mind’s eye Break downs to break throughs Fake news to great truth Stay out your own way Allow what is greater to rise Pick up and answer the call It’s in our nature to thrive Catch that elevator straight to skies We just rise We could fly for days In the sky with the planes Take off on a trip Different wavelength Every day the page blank So we just filled it with our lives Then we gave thanks We got unlimited time We could fly for days In the sky with the planes Take off on a trip Different wavelength Every day the page blank So we just filled it with our lives Then we gave thanks We got unlimited time It’s easy to imagine you Just have to view the hardships Like some feedback on the world That you’re drawing; it’s a project We are creating experiences Learning fearlessness Choosing gratefulness Getting nearer It’s becoming what we believe it to be just breathe in deeply Breathe out and see

If you’re looking Life gets up to so good, I can’t embellish If one defined it everybody’d try to sell it You can smell it All my worries finally up and just melted I’m saying If you knew how it felt you’d call me selfish Nah but if you know how it feels, then you are with me When I get low, just let go The source lifts me back up “Backup, back up! What were you speaking bout? What makes you laugh that way? What are you cheesing ‘bout?” It’s nothing really, no it’s really nothing Just feelin’ silly because a milky substance Became a human being.. What are these humans doing? Usually misconstruing or screwing around Waste a chance to dance With complaints and rants We could paint the landscape real great ‘stead of bland Let go of our plans Just grow like the plants We’re at front of the pack We got to love where we at There’s wholeness to find What if we zone in on that? Seek purpose and life Learn to hold on and laugh Although the pain is no fair Some things are totally whack They say God became flesh Took bread, broke it in half Maybe he wasn’t alone Just showed us a path? To walk along And open our hearts Be the light and learn to Glow in the dark, oh yeah Be the light and learn to Glow in the dark Sometimes it’s slow when it starts I feel my heartbeat Even in hard times Love won, love lost The stars shine No matter the way it’s all goin’ Whatever happens today It’s all golden, glowin’ and unfolding Just the way it’s supposed to be I know that good is close to me Imagine what we’ll grow to be With small shifts we all slip, it’s alright Get back in, buckle up for a long ride Northwest, this vortex, is on fire Heart beats, to carry us beyond our minds We’ll get our chance to play our parts Take our risks and break our hearts Make our ways, and walk our paths along the days We live these songs I want you to feel smarter when you hear this Be braver than before Contagious with good spirit Creative and unstoppable Doing more than you ever thought was possible Find the flow & be water unto your obstacles Fire up the barbecue, break out the popsicles ‘cause we back in that light source the bright force Adjust a little getting back on the right course With small shifts we all slip, but it’s all good You can build a career without the Hollywood Mirrors and smoke Or the tech bro spheres I hope Even if it takes walking a tightrope Your whole world dangling by a slight hope But I know that the universe good, loving, and curious Often misunderstood, just like the pyramids Or what the spirit might experience To build resilience and fearlessness It’s not always a cake walk But someday it takes off And somebody’s day’s made ‘cause you did a great job And showed ‘em your heart Be the light and learn to glow in the dark Sometimes it’s slow when it starts I feel my heartbeat Even in hard times Love won, love lost The stars shine No matter the way It all goin Whatever happens today It’s all golden, glowin’, and unfolding Just the way it’s supposed to be Imagine what we’ll grow to be

09 Dizzy 821 ianbrodiespice Summertime in the city; a little easier to fall in love With the long days and warm nights Sunset soaking everyone in that golden light We all transformed into what we might become It’s that Northwest best kept secret Summer dreamin’ all season Leaving everybody glowing like a beach bum Born in the city when the summers were sweet No smoke in the sky, no shoes on our feet Folks a little cold at time they call it a freeze I just wanna melt that into the sea, please Back to the street lights of Pike-Pine corridor Get some pizza before the lines too long Dodging all these weekend warriors Another summer in Seattle song Singing take a HOOK Hit of the night Get some spice in your life catch a bite Walking round the city we could get a little dizzy And forget about our busy for a minute if ya like Sinking in the sea skinny dippin in delight Ay ay, all night Ran through the sprinklers and water balloon fights Psych, it’s been a while since then But summer nights still smile Said it was Pepperdock burgers And wiffleball at the field Jumping off Anchor Park Hit Rocky Beach with your wheels Cruising the boardwalk Probably some Roark’s spotted Volleyballing rocking the court, sand in my shorts Gotta couple popsicles chillin’ out on the porch Or mobbin’ out to Mercer to take over the beach park Looking back on the summer All of the sweet parts collect together Like nothing was ever better than that Met up with Holly after work at Marination to jam Or going camping with Rico and Sam, packed in a van On a boat if we’re lucky, a bonfire in the sand Beach cruise to remember everything that I am Started out where I came from, all of my day ones We made our mistakes but moved on So we keep it bouncing & bumpin’ by the mountains It’s something about the Sound that we jump in That keeps the air so sweet Please don’t be what you think I want you to What’s bubbling up in you? That’s real, be free, be true In all that you speak, in all that you do Please don’t be what you think they want you to What’s bubbling up in you? That’s real, be free, be true In all that you speak, in all that you do Take a Hit of the night Get some spice in your life catch a bite Walking round the city we could get a little dizzy And forget about our busy for a minute if ya like Sinking in the sea skinny dippin in delight Ay ay, all night Ran through the sprinklers and water balloon fights Psych, it’s been a while since then But summer nights still smile

When the night is coming and the land is golden We’re all handing over all this weight we been holding We’re just glistening, glowing, specifically chosen For this instance and moment of bliss Can’t turn away, each day burn in a blaze Sweat through the maze on the daily Sandy, wavy, breezy, blazing Sunshine makes leaves lazy Breathtaking, mesmerizing The sunset raise the vibes Take my disguise off Soak in this golden light I can’t pry my eyes off How could we miss this? A visible gift from from the mystical Lift up your spirits and These minutes stretch for a little bit more and Then the day bids adieu and says "I’ll see you in the morning Good night.." Sunlight streams through our senses Just to renew us in what we’re meant to do Until it’s time to fall below the mountain tops And leave us with the moon When the night is comin’ and the land is golden We’re all handing over all this weight we been holding We’re just glistening, glowing, specifically chosen For this instance and moment of bliss Like a kiss on the cheek It was history repeats Such a physical week in visceral heat My ritual: scribble to beats Until the mission complete I’m digging in deep, dip in the ink Drift in my dreams, what does it mean? When day becomes night It’s a different scene The picture is sweet This lighting creates the mystique A bird is in flight, cracking its beak Let’s out a screech Across the beach we feel a breeze The sunlight warms up the crowd Gives a speech then takes a bow Dips below some mountains for a while Leaves us behind with just a smile Sunlight streams through our senses Just to renew us in what we’re meant to do Until it’s time to fall below the mountain tops And leave us with the moon

We lost our minds forgot the time Gave up the ghost made up some rhymes We found ourselves outside at night A vibrant sight in the moonlight We lost our minds forgot their lies Took off those masks made us some love Found ourselves looking above A masterpiece in the moonlight Yeah, it’s many metaphors for medicine I think this world is better for our presence in it It’s hard to tell or find the evidence, I know But we don’t need a king or president Reality is soft and we can mess with it The galaxy is drawn together effortlessly I can’t say exactly where our efforts will lead But I believe we are celestial beings Don’t shoot the messenger please Don’t shoot at kids in the schools All these political beefs and fools Missing the jewels of now We’ll be cool someday, someway, somehow Sometimes we all just need to play And be seen or be held or be loved on The planets lined up in the stars, got they buzz on My sister finally trust god to give her a love song I hope it becomes strong We lost our minds forgot the time Gave up the ghost made up some rhymes We found ourselves outside at night A vibrant sight in the moonlight We lost our minds forgot their lies Took off those masks made us some love Found ourselves looking above A masterpiece in the moonlight The fish jumping, the star shooting, a wish coming It’s our duty to live luminous, light up the dim With music, stories, and when we feel stuck to release It’s enough to just be, who you are is a peach We met up at the beach to see if something was sweet It was a mystery once or twice I guess it repeats Every day becomes night, every road cannot be chosen No, we have to learn to discern what is glowing And walk the path of the stars despite the shadows and scars From battles and hardships that rattled our hearts Just let go and let yourself grow Reach for the light inside of your soul Outside at night when the stars show You just who you are Beautiful and scarred, maybe But love’s never far away you’ll see We lost our minds forgot the time Gave up the ghost made up some rhymes We found ourselves outside at night A vibrant sight in the moonlight We lost our minds forgot their lies Took off those masks made us some love Found ourselves looking above A masterpiece in the moonlight Mom, you know I miss you when the sun is out Hope you’re proud of what your son’s about I know you see I live a little differently It’s just the life I always sung about I make my ways, can’t always give the play-by-plays That make sense to those around me But I ain’t lazy and this family that you gave me keeps me grounded They keep me laughing, keep me swimming in the sound Did you ever wonder what we come here for I call on the force when my brain gets sore From holding so much, holding so much This golden touch when you hear it You know that it’s us, know that it’s love These poems go down when I focus and trust Don’t pay no mind to the broken corrupt Control Systems, soul prisons, that’s old stuff ...This life’s too short I’m just soaking it up We lost our minds, forgot the time Gave up the ghost, made up some rhymes Found ourselves outside at night A vibrant sight in the moonlight We lost our minds forgot their lies Took off these masks made us some love Found ourselves looking above A masterpiece in the moonlight

Good things pass, the waves crash The leaves fall down Another cycle around another season A new beginning to follow the endings Always becoming, never staying too long Always believing that Good things pass the rain’s back Soon the leaves fall down Another cycle around, another season A new beginning to follow the endings Always becoming, never staying too long Always be leaving Left town on a jet bound For somewhere new Head been down on the grind Finally time for a fresh view Shake things up find the next groove Touch down and see who we might connect to The world changing so fast, we can’t go back Watch Ian’s old hats on the wall turn into gold plaques Sit and drink in these moments Jokin’, laughing and flowing With other passengers going Where we need to get to It’s always hard to let go Let it be and step through Still my homies always ready at the rescue Even when we move apart We stay together in our chest, too Won’t forget that Good things pass, the waves crash The leaves fall down Another cycle around Another season A new beginning to follow the endings Always becoming Never staying too long Always believing that Good things pass, the rain’s back The leaves fall down Another cycle around, another season A new beginning to follow the endings Always becoming, never staying too long Always believing... Good things pass Never stay too long (Never stay too long) Good things pass Never stay too long (Never stay too long) Good things pass Never stay too long (Never stay too long) Good things pass Never stay too long (Never stay too long) Pack up the dreams, sell the bed frame Or we movin’ on from that outdated headspace Either way it’s been a ride But the next wave calls so sweet Follow the beat when your heart speaks Listen close for the vision of what could be A real beautiful brand new discovery Let go, play the last show What’s up ahead of you? A better time, better place, for a better you And really it’s something to trust That the universe just If we do what we must keep our faith and adjust To all the circumstances Every person is dancing Working and planning And searching for family Good things pass the waves crash The leaves fall down Another cycle around, another season A new beginning to follow the endings Always becoming, never staying too long Always believing
