Yeah I made this bed
but I will lay in it awake
tryna figure what was
clever move or dumb mistake
and this life i've led
has been a guessing game
the picture looks so different
when I put it in a different frame, like:
I've lost friends left towns
I have burned my bridges down
and i've made friends been free
Had my sails in the ocean breeze
Yeah I took my bite
Maybe more than I could chew
and failed all the standards
I've been asked to live up to
I stumble t'ward the light
and in the darkness I reflect
the form is altered based
upon the filter I select, like:
I've lost friends left towns
I have burned my bridges down
and i've made friends been free
Had my sails in the ocean breeze
I've lost friends left towns
I have burned my bridges down
and i've made friends been free
Had my sails in the ocean breeze
and then I sailed on the open seas
and then I crawled on my hands and knees
when I lived for you and lived to please
then I found the door and cut the keys
and now I wander through eternities

Sandbox

You tower over/over-power everyone
In your shadow it is damp and never any fun
Your pendulum can hypnotise and most will be
lured in but no you won't catch me
this sand box not just for you
there's other kids wanna play here too
You claim to know the way that leads to victory
and do not hesitate when thinking of the casualties
Your pockets the decider in the path you choose
you think you win but really everyone lose
this sand box not just for you
there's other kids wanna play here too
when us other kids don't stand alone but stand as friends
then you'll be overthrown and never take your throne again
this sand box not just for you
us other kids gonna play here too

Toilet Stalls

Everybodies paranoid
that everything will be destroyed
why sweat what you can't avoid?
why sweat half a truth?
I felt guilt a million days
for all the times that I betrayed
Social structures that were made
to sway me in my youth
And now i'm cleaning piss from off the walls
cos thats how people leave the toilet stalls
sweeping broken glass and coasters too
The only job that I am paid to do
Searching for an energy
that I can't seem to find in me
it's fine to be but maybe three times
better with a force
tattooed on my aging heart
reminding me to play it smart
cos people can get torn apart
and jaded on this course, like:
now i'm cleaning piss from off the walls
cos thats how people leave the toilet stalls
sweeping broken glass and coasters too
The only job that I am paid to do
all is in its place, this kaleidascope embrace
energy in slow vibration causes physical sensation
as below is so above, with my soap and rubber gloves
To clean the piss from off the walls
cos thats how people leave the toilet stalls
sweeping broken glass and coasters too
the only job that I am paid to do
the only job that I am paid to do
I guess that I could wash some dishes too

Tort Shorso (Part 2)

In the garage
or in the living room
we're living large
within suburban gloom
we got communal dreams
we got our own reality
we orchastrate our great escape
from default destiny
I can't see my path but I can see my destination
I wander through the dark and guide myself by constilation
more than friends
we were a family
and then it ends
and turns to memory
beneath the bad decisions
and the baggage i've collected
time has never dimmed the
tiny spark that i've protected
I can't see my path but I can see my destination
I wander through the dark and guide myself by constilation
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go
so many things have changed the tide has tossed me too and fro
my heart is still the same as all those many moons ago
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go
I can't see my path but I can see my destination
I wander through the dark and guide myself by constilation
Insignificant to most but not to me
a bunch of kids who figured how to set their spirits free
One half my life
and half a world away
The middle of the night
i search to find the words to say
If this plant should ever bud
if those buds should ever bloom
the seed was sewn in that garage
and in that living room

Banjo's Song

Out here it's real confusing
you gotta keep your wits
Theres many people tryna
tear your hopes and dreams to bits
and then you feel you're losing
you get down in the pits
you wonder how the hell
to keep on rolling with the hits
I know you'll perservere
I know you'll overcome
I see you marching proud
to the beat of your own drum
Like a bright sun burning in the sky
Goonies never say die
Goonies never say die
Out here its fucking crazy
it seems like no one cares
you search directions but
you cannot find them anywhere
and then they call you lazy
while you are in despair
you gotta find a way to
shake it off and get your share
I know you'll perservere
I know you'll overcome
I see you marching proud
to the beat of your own drum
Like a bright sun burning in the sky
Goonies never say die
Goonies never say die

TEACOZY recommends:
When The Tree Bears Fruit
by Parsnip
This album makes me think of riding my bike through the park in late spring. It also reminds me of being a kid and watching Playschool (and I mean this as a genuinely high compliment). Please listen!

Joy as an Act of Resistance.
by IDLES
This is easily one of my favourite albums, maybe ever. I don't know how they did it but there is something very powerful about its mix of vulnerability and force. Amazing album.

This is my brothers band. I love this guy forever. He is truly one of a kind. His music to me is like a heart beat, a chainsaw, a spirit quest and waking up somewhere new. I highly recommend it!
