ECHOLALIA

|
Close your eyes
just sit here with me
and listen to the waves giving beauty to your brain
Echolalia; definition:
repetition of words or sounds that you've heard,
officially described as meaningless
I'm here to tell you
how wrong that is
we're not meaningless
what is life if not meaningFUL repetition?

CAT ON THE FLOOR
03:24
|

|
We're at Golden Gardens
the crows and the pigeons are up in the pine trees
scooping seeds from the parking lot
I try and become them,
I don't see an issue
But C's not paying attention:
she cares more bout the ocean view
You see me sideways
they see me right though:
Dog on the sidewalk
Cat on the floor
I've got five records on the way!!

How does one live without such beautiful moments?

SYNTHS AUTIST

The lonely autist in a room
forgetting everything that's wrong
and disappearing from that room
manifestation in a song
Two lonely autists in a room
making music every day
and if there's nothing left
to connect them both
then this has to be the way
I'm tired of being dictated by words
everyone else speaks to me without them
everything is animate
everything is empathetic
I want to be the raw feeling
that we're meant to be
I'm tired of being dictated by words
I'd be nonverbal
if it meant my songs would feel
less empty
(I just wish I had more to say)

Thank you for everything
you'll be ok, and so will I
I miss that little way
that we would live when I was home
Now everything seems to be
changing, it's all unknown
I wanna be here forever,
I just wanna stay here forever,
Can't you just be here?
I understand you didn't figure it out
when I was a kid. You're just like me
I get it now, why that was the way
you would talk to me. Cause you knew we were different that way

I'm being genuine
in fact, we all are
I'm being genuine
That's what I love about us
(stop trying to dig yourself underground)
The love is there
we give it to the
things that you wouldn't even
think to look

Gentle with me

(I wish I was a little winter bird)
It's wrong to say we're out of line
we're dragged through nervous system fire
we're taught not to listen to ourselves
Can you repeat what I just told you?
Look at me now
look what I can do,
not what I can't do
Imagine that with less anxiety
I have the wrong to be right
I can't expect too much from a body that's dead
I have got to take the time to heal
I live in silence most of my evenings
I hear everything and now I can't even
take a rude gesture, and make it a good one
It's so good to see you

ERASE URGENCY
03:05
|

I think I think too much
I know that I know too much
I feel like I feel more than you
I wish that my wishes could come true
I dream that my dreams aren't dreams after all

NOTHING
02:30

What is it like to hear nothing?
it's not enough to just wear earplugs
I put on some noise cancelling headphones at the best buy
and start to cry
cry
cause I finally hear nothing!
