Sometimes friends end up being just the last thing you know
Sometimes truths vary depending on the day
Story so it goes, honestly nobody knows
Jelly bean Jerrt has a side I’m slowly coming to find
Jelly bean Jerry’s laugh was kind of scary
Like a truth you never wanted to know
He used to hang out behind Lupitas taqueria
Down on Silverlake and Alvarado
Jerry was a simple guy, shady on the sly
When candy came around
You know he could be found on a sugar high
2021 Jerry was suspected of white collar crime
Couldn’t be arrested on account he was protected
By some high reach political ties
Jerry slipped the states
Wrote a letter just to touch base
With a fake address I suspect he’s laying low playing dominos
Jelly bean Jerry, where are you tonight?

A heart of stone won’t feel light
The past will grow in weight
I see right through your fools gold
You ain’t no Hemmingway
You step to blame all sorbet for your shame
I know we’re all in pain
I just don’t buy all your archetypes lies
You fool
Won’t be a fool for nobody
But he’s a fool for you honey
Leave it to love to light the surprise
Compost the walls to spark the flame
You’re growing spells out from eggshells
A saving throw to own your pain
Now dosed in smiles while your dogs all run wild
I know we all can change
The counterplot skipping stones off the clock
Reclaim the fool
Won’t be a fool for nobody
But he’s a fool for you honey

Looks like you got a rolodex
Of those on your resentment list
Kids popular as CVS
Clean up on isle six
Flipping on a dime saying you aint got the time for love
You try to hate it
Every time we ride I catch you bobbing your mind to love songs
You’re drunk
Pardon me to ask what’s there to prove
Dropping off the map seems that mask has outgrown you
Got your coffee maker
And you fill your cup
Always going out for blood
Looks like you got a rolodex
Of stuff that hasn’t happened yet
The future holds a big old mess
To you that’s just a treasure chest
You know you cant deny there’s a part of you inside that’s tired
You try to fake it
I catch you with a smile but you’re always in denial of your love
You’re dumb
Pardon me to ask what’s there to prove
It aint gonna last seems that shell has outgrown you
Got your pen and paper, just to take a name
Running out of those to blame

Hey what’s up whatcha doin tonight boo?
Texting you
Can’t describe the excitement inside woo
I’ll roll through
I get up I get down I get crazy
Waiting here
What if he changes his mind
Fold your hands fix your hair don’t look stupid
Nothings wrong
I forget how to speak ok Cupid
Shoot your shot
Hard to handle my brain and my body
It’s a lot
What if he changes his mind
Cause he’s looking for that special someone
Two week round the clock it’s been non stop
What’s the deal
His ringtone on my phone makes my heart drop
Is this real
Play it cool don’t assume don’t get jealous
When you fear
What if he changes his mind
Now would you love me
If I
Spilled my drink on someone?
Love me
If I
Ripped my pants or something?
Love me
If I
Fall down a flight of stairs?
Or love me
Cause he’s really
Looking for that special someone
Are you looking for that special someone

Dance With Me

They say that love is such a funny thing
Can leave you knocked and left out on a string
But I don’t live in fear of circumstance
How do you know unless you take a chance
Dance with me
The city scapes are just a masquerade
But you aint noticed since loves lemonade
You’re dosed in colors electrophonic hues
The type of voltage that’s surprising you
Why don’t you dance with me

Marmalade Honey

When I open my eyes
And the dreams still in song
In the key of a whisper
In the melody of now
Bent my ear to its tune
Fruited love of the summertime
Here’s your pantomime
Our love is sweeter than marmalade honey
Orange is the cloud that we lay upon
To float in the notes to the tune of somebody
And paint the dawn into a song
When the canvas is fed
Drinks the brush of the sun
And the light speaks the quilt
I’ll be keeping the light on
Sugar dust on your curls
Spun webs like a tilt-a-whirl
Into your world
Our love is sweeter than marmalade honey
Orange is the cloud that we lay upon
To float in the notes to the tune of somebody
And paint the dawn into a song

Firefly

Well the fireflies
Are in disguise
Their psychology been a part of me that I fossilized
Dig sifting off the artifacts
Fall below
Feel the glow
When the shadow comes
To greet the sun
I get a heart attack and a broken back cause it weights a ton
Bug magic just to peel your way
From the smoke
Greet your ghost
We’re gonna learn to feel tonight
All our love
Well the talking cure
Is so absurd
I need a river swim when I’m wearing thin at a loss for words
A little nature just to feel the light spark inside, catalyze
Like a firefly
Who comes alive
Archeology in the part of me that I localize
But still trippin on the artifacts
Fall below
Feel the Glow
We’re gonna learn to feel tonight
All our love

When you’re young you succumb
to the rhythm and the strum of your dreams now
They provoke you with fear, is it part of a career?
Need that money now
Demand that you burn all your poems
And just do what you’re told
I’ve had enough
Give us back to the music
You imagine and play then they take it away just to serve now
Brake your back for some stacks take a break catch some flack
Don’t be crying now
They say that arts for the young
But I belong to the drum
I’ve had enough
Give us back to the music
