Blinded sides
The storm resigns
And what is found
Lays down
Lay down your seeds
Porcupine prings, Animal things
These are the sounds of the living
Things unseen
Things unsaid
What say you to a broken heart
With nowhere left to turn
I’m not there I’ve done my part
No bridges left to burn
Time to bury the dreamer in me
You’re wide awake now lay down your seeds
I can’t hold on anymore
I’m tired of disappointing myself
But when I push myself
It only makes everything worse
I said no, you can’t stop me
I’m done
I’m moving on to my own road
No more asking me for favors
Almost gone, and I feel so alone
One more drop, nothing to savor
You had your chance and you played the fool
No more goat for you to scape
One more time, now it’s up to you
What to leave and what to take
I’m moving on to my own
God hath gifted me divine purpose
And I shant let him down
Free me from earthly calling
Porcupine Prings, driving me insane
I’m too free
Though I may try to fight it
Can’t deny it, I’m too free
Do you get it now?
Do you see the words I’ve said?
Can you read them? Will you heed them?
Do you get it now?
Do you feel the deeper thread?
No more reason. Not this season.
Do you get it now?
Do you hear my eyes turn red?
Do you get it now?
Iron clad, forgotten prince
Of this mud, my hands I’ll rinse
I’m changing up my world
No melody, no more
No Melody, No Meaning, No Mistakes

Wiper blades and turnip spades
Digging up my psyche to find the bigger truth
The root of it all -
All is suffering
All is nothing
All is - that little leaf that sticks to the top of your shoe on a rainy day
Maybe it’s surface tension
Or a tendril
Weaved in the stitching of sneakers
We’re all just riding along
Blinded sides
The world resigns
And what is found
Lays down
Do you get it now?
Do you hear me?
Do you get it now?
And though I’ve seen enough of you it’s true
I still can’t miss a moment
My eyes can’t stay shut
When I’m around you
And though I’ve heard enough of your stories
My mind can’t seem to wander
I’m caught in your voice
And your laughter
It’s 3am, awake again
But I don’t feel like sleeping
Being with you
October true
With no intent of leaving
This time with you
Could last forever

Don’t you worry now
The future has passed
Lines of fear pronounced
In the mirror
You
Dance. We’re in heaven
Can you Stop
Asking questions
And just
Dance. You’re in heaven
Laugh like you mean it
Don’t you
Ask bout my secrets
Dance.
I can’t melt away
Hey I see you down there
It’s clear to me
Hey I see you don’t care
Hey I hear you laughing
And sometimes screaming
Hey I hear you down there
When you’re climbing up a wall and you carry it all on your shoulders
‘Cause you don’t have a pack
When you’re walking down the road and you get a mean glare from a stranger
And you don’t have an axe
When you’re rolling down your life then you’re dead
Curling up, falling down
Sinking and, floating are
Same feeling
Helpless I, watch you run
Your dumb mouth
Breaking off, changing course
For the South
I can’t fly like a
I can’t swim like a
I can’t bloom like a
I can’t be
I got the onion ring from my
Old recipe… in my kitchen group 5 thigh
Eggplant shell porcupine hellbent
Optional: these are pretty typical for the type of eggplant that is a sphere
(So this is a bit more unusual)
Optional: these are a bit more different than the type of
eggplant that I used in my previous post
Speech limits consciousness
Preach to your audience
Keep making common sense
Flee from your shopping list
(Woof)

Don’t you worry now
The future has passed
Lines of fear pronounced
In the mirror
Music eats Penguin he says “I
Like a whole
Lot of fish, I like a
Large one.” Little
“Un-cheating” because
They’ve been eat-ing
Penguin
I said, “I don’t mind
Missing you”
Some time, you may find
The real truth
I’m moving on
To my own roof
This time I
Next time I
I swear I
Really, I
So, at this point, you’re probably wondering… what the whole
“No Melody No Meaning No Mistakes” thing, really means.
And I hate to tell ya, I don’t know.
It’s just the concept I had in my head when I recorded these drums on July 26th, 2020.
And now, six months later, I have no clue what it means.
But, irregardless… I hope you’ve enjoyed what you’ve heard so far.
And hope you continue to enjoy the following three-and-a-half minutes or so. Cheers!
