dreams will fill you with hope.

the longing will leave you eviscerated.

you will learn eventually that the heart is flammable

love is cruel.

life is unfair.

happiness is an illusion.

but only if you let it be an illusion.

you have more control then you know.

you’re growing

inch by inch

make your mold

stretch those limbs

breathe.

wear a god damn smile for once

all and all its not that bad.

Can’t wait for the new feist record! :D

I’ve learned a lot in the past 6 months. Hell, I barely even remember who I was 6 months ago....

I’ve learned a lot in the past 6 months. Hell, I barely even remember who I was 6 months ago. Anyone that is close to me knows that I’ve been a little off the past month or two. Things have been changing rapidly in my life. Time is flying by and I’ve been caught up in my own thoughts and insecurities. From what I’ve found is you can’t hold on to the past too tight if you expect to move forward. The past is the past for a reason. Live and learn..that’s what the memories are for… I’m finally letting go of a lot of insecurities and embracing as much of the surrounding opportunities as I can. It’s easy to get wrapped up in your flaws or dwell in the darkness, but I feel hopeful and optimistic. I see now that the darkness was never even that dark after all, I just had to wake up and open my eyes.

this is my little rant for the after hours..

Love,

Carl

P.S.

I’ve been writing some new music as of late and I’m stoked as shit to hit the studio again.

See ya

I remain uninspired.

I ate my muse for breakfast.

and she tasted nothing like I thought she would.

Now I know what to say…

but don’t know how to say it.

Am I lazy?

Why do I hate everything I’m writing?

Every thought just seems so dull.

…are we all this insecure?

how did I become so faithless?

nobody cares about that heart on your sleeve

you better keep it all tongue in cheek

maybe write it down for another silly folk song.

and all those things that you worry about

you should start saying them out loud

and laugh at how ridiculous it all sounds.

from my bed
I watch
3 birds
on a telephone
wire.
one flies
off.
then
another.
one is left,
then
it too
is gone.
my typewriter is
tombstone
still.
and I am
reduced to bird
watching.
just thought I’d
let you
know,
fucker.

I haven’t been on tumblr much. Mostly due to the lack of internet at my apartment, but now I might post some thoughts here and there. I’ve been writing a lot of songs recently and hitting up the studio to record them. It feels nice, it’s almost like therapy and it feels like I’m bringing the songs to life. Like frankenstein or some shit…but my songs arent as ugly as frankenstein( no offense green buddy).

Here’s some lyrics to some songs I recorded/will be recording that will be on my debut release entitled “Keep Working On That Smile, Everything Is Alright…”

I should have some videos to share with you all soon…

good night ya’ll

Chasing a Ghost

Well I should have known
I’d be doomed from the start
When I traded a tired soul
for a microphone and guitar
and heaven knows I’m guilty
and god wouldn’t let me in
I got a chord to compliment every sin

now you know I’m hardly a man
I do what I want but never what I should or can
I’ve been banging on the doors
begging oppurtunity to let me in
but it won’t let me in again

I couldn’t care any less about tomorrow
and I’ve poured the last shots from that whiskey bottle
and now I’m slurring my speech and wasting more of my time
waiting on something that won’t ever arrive

I’ve been chasing a ghost
trying to find what matters most to me
now I’m stuck inside some cell
I mean I’m stuck inside my head
I’m tired and I could use some rest

but the sun won’t ever set
if you keep chasing after it
and in all of this I wonder
if there’s a loophole to be found
there’s got to be a way out somehow

Teeth

but From what I can remember
the world had its teeth
it could bite down on me
if it ever felt the need
as teeth sink into my skin
the ground beneath me is giving in
if not swallowed, I could fall forever.

What I do remember is what my mother said to me
“Don’t count on people, only god can set you free”
then I don’t know why I question my time here
I put myself on trial
I am the jury and the judge
oh my god

but I sing
If deaths inconvenient
then don’t live to die
find another place for your heart to reside
if you wait on the world
you might lose your mind
tell me now I wasn’t right

What I should remember
is the world has its greed
no one bothers with it
and that shits not benefiting me yeah
I see why I would question all my time here
I put myself on trial but for what?

What I do remember is what john said to me
“don’t count on people just do what makes you happy”

I’ll keep working on that smile cause everything is fine
when I’m pressing my fingers on these god damn strings

and I’m singing
no more…

with deaths inconvenience
we don’t live to die
find another place for your heart to reside
if you wait on the world
fuck it, you might lose your mind
tell me now I wasn’t right
tell me now that I wasn’t right

and from what I’ve seen of the world
it wasn’t worth the waiting for

Home Or Places You Find Familiar

Leave your key under the mat
and I’ll be there when you get back
again I’m sorry for the things I said
you say I’m such a disgrace
I cut my nose just to spite my face
and sever my own head just to spite my shoulders

well I got a chip on them
and a bone to pick with you
so please excuse my attitude

please excuse my attitude

but what the hell was I thinking?

I’ve been feeling like nothing is real
and this town has hollowed out my bones
tired of feeling lonely
can I please come home?

when I decide to swallow all my pride
I’d call you up to apologize
I’d call you up just to say that you were right

and what the hell was I thinking?

and again I feel like nothing is real
this town has hollowed out my bones
tired of feeling lonely
baby can you please come home
to me.

Lovely Lovely, Lovely Love

I fell in love with the summer moon
knowing that she’d always be hanging in my skies
I woke at dawn and couldn’t wait
for night to fall so she could shed her light

lovely lovely, lovely love of mine

It was a long and lonely summer
I felt it all change
I slept in gardens I thought for sure would become my grave

but she pulled me in like Atlantic tides

distracting me from my dark

and I felt alright.

she was surrounded by bright shining stars
that couldn’t compare to her light
and I’d be damned if I didn’t make her mine

lovely lovely, lovely love of mine

Yea
