inHAPPY 00:58
Well I have been around for the past two decades or so And I am growing bored thinking that there is nothing new left to know So I let my mind roam free (Let it wander let it seek) And I let my body numb (Let it lie awake alone) Trying hard to be happy (It's what you wanted in the end) And trying hard to be the dumbest

Go On 04:20
It's about that time my dear To face my greatest fear You can listen just sit right there With a blank, stare I don't care I have taken my time To get these two words through my mind Go on Tell me something new about you Some gossip about who's fucking who Tell me bout your arts education And how we'll starve in our starving nation I would if I could But I can't so I won't Go on Show me a picture of your new friends How have you tied up your loose ends? Show me a place I can stick my cock in Just wanna know how've you been I may sound cruel but even a fool who's lost his cool has gotta Go on Maybe I'll see you someday soon Perhaps you'll learn to like this tune Maybe I'll even see you smile Perhaps someday but not for a long while This is my try at one final goodbye I wish I was wrong but now I must Go on

I don't fuck mirrors I don't fuck with bees I don't fuck with babies that crawl on their knees I don't fuck with books you've read And I know this is true I definitely don't fuck with you I don't fuck with condiments I don't fuck with with presidents I don't fuck with residential neighborhood sentiments I don't fuck with murders that are featured on the news And I definitely don't fuck with I don't fuck with automobiles I don't fuck with bicycle wheels I don't fuck with traffic on a summer afternoon And I definitely don't fuck with you
4.
I've been looking out for a way (Oh have you?) To cut the bullshit out of my life And get to you I should of realized from the start (I'm lonely) And that it's you that owns my heart And you only When the music starts to play (I see you dance) I gotta find right the words to say Cause nows my chance I wanna know If you feel alone sometimes I wanna know if you're alright I wanna know you for the rest of my life As I make my over to you (I stumble) And the words I know to be true Just mumbles Now I'm sitting by myself (Binge drinkin) Wish I had someone to help When I'm sinkin So here I am and once again (Still lonely) Wish you could be my friend And you only I wanna know Why do I feel alone sometimes Why do I feel I feel alright Am I going to feel for the rest of my life We can start a band together You can play piano Like your brother Stay inside it's stormy weather And I don't know whether I even belong with you We can support each other A thousand roses And bloody noses Is what feel with you And I feel for you Can you feel me too I hope you do

Learn 2 Take 04:01
A man looked down on the sky To see what things he might spy His hands reach out to the sea To touch, to feel, and to be A fire always burns But he will never learn A door unlocked in his mind He wondered what was inside His feet stood firm in the sand But he has blood on his hands A man is what he earns But he will never learn Oh it's just like You said it would be Oh he doesn't know how to believe Cause he can always take Cause he can always take Oh it's just like You said it would be Oh he doesn't know how to believe Cause he can always take from you And he can always break you
7.
So many hipsters and minorities in this neighborhood (Alright who drank my last PBR?) Overbearing authorities for the common good (If you don't have anything to hide it shouldn't really matter) Well gentrifications sweet (Welcome to the neighborhood brother) And Eloteros on the street (Yeah I took Spanish in high school) We'll push the homeless westward (I just don't understand why they don't like, get a job or something?) And paint a mural where stood (Dude is that a Banksy?)
8.
Ourselves 04:26
Humbled is the sun by the years that we'll share The subtle ever growing feeling everywhere And in my darkest daydreams I'll follow your haze Patiently awaiting on the rest of our days When we pretend to act our own age Nothing really makes any sense in a way Novel are the lights in each others eyes at night Ooh If we forget to be ourselves Then we find it hard To make the best of it so we'll do it one better Joined by the sigh of the Stars and the moon The stories of our lives on the walls of your room The birds will sing the day and We can breath the night Our memories will happily tell us when it's right We can greet the ends of our lives from our own bed But first we must traverse all the paths that lie ahead Your heart will look to me and my soul will turn to you Oooh If we forget to be ourselves Then we find it hard To make the best of it so we'll do it one better

Sister Winter hold me closer in the cold glow of your gaze I've been wandering broken 40 days Trading food and water for your praise Brother Summer how you tease me with your riches on display Teach me patience send me on my way Let these lessons tell me what to say Seasons change with time But you can't change my mind Sister Winter softly crying her woes are too much to cart Rediscovery of her sacred art Finding comfort when we are apart Brother Summer's smile is fading looking for his stolen heart I have been here with you from the start Why must you be sad if you're so smart? Seasons change with time But you can't change my mind Seasons change with time But you can't change my mind Seasons old and true The ones we never knew

Faces 04:04
So You're back again it seems and I know That there's nothing I want to do with you Just go Back to your blinking lights where your woes Can't get to me You're so cold When I'm around Can't you see There's something wrong with me Scream out loud saying nothing at all Look through my door and see all of those faces Such pretty faces You're one of those faces Why Do you always run away from a fight There's so much I want to do/with with you It's alright Drift off into a sleep where our lives Won't mean anything I feel whole When you're around You won't believe What you've done to me Close your eyes Let go of it all Look at my wall and see all of those faces Such pretty faces You're more than those faces Please don't cry Cause I don't want to fade into the dark Cause I won't cry When you go I'll fade into the dark I'll fade into the dark

I don't get your words anymore Well your clothes look so official But your eyes are artificial to me You left your life on the floor How it's moving, shaking, twisting Wishing you were all alone but you're with me How I laughed when you walked out that door Just to come back in an hour As you cowered from that power that is me How you cried like you hadn't before Over empty bottle feelings And your well hidden dealings with me And your well hidden dealings with me And your well hidden dealings with me Now you're gone and I'm all alone Oh you've thrown it all away And your memories will fade with me How I cried like I haven't before Over wilting flowered feelings And your well hidden dealings with me And your well hidden dealings with me And your well hidden dealings with me Yeah your well hidden dealings with me Yeah your well hidden dealings...

Good News 05:15
We've gone our separate ways Found different lips to lean on Though I can't remember your name Your breath is in my songs And as the years go by And you'll grow further away When I hear that you're getting married I'll smile and exclaim Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! I'm Good News! Good News! He's seen some better times When he could be himself With all that's on his mind Wish he would ask for help Hope that someday soon When I can see him clean We'd sit back and laugh like old times And I'd raise my voice to sing Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! She sits alone at night Looking for a concrete dream her smile looks nice and bright She's not happy like she seems I'm not the pious type I like to laugh and drink But when I am heading for disaster I'll bow my head and pray for Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! Good News! x2

about

inHAPPY is a lo-fi exploration of musical and lyrical ideas that I have been assembling and refining for the last several years. I started writing songs quasi-seriously when I was 14, and now 7 years later I have finally recorded my first completely solo work. This album was recorded with the use of one microphone (a Shure SM57), my laptop, my cell phone, a small hand held tape recorder, as well as menagerie of instruments, effects units, and sound producing objects all played by myself. While inHAPPY does not directly feature any collaborators, sans a couple voicemail cameos, this record would not be possible without the lovely and amazing friends, family, teachers, companions, and idols who inspire and influence me in each and every of life's endeavors. This record is my thank you, and sometimes apology, to those people. Please Enjoy Responsibly™.
