SUNSET BLVD

This is going to be like a poetry book of sorts. Some of these are strictly poetry, and some of these are songs I was writing in my sparetime. Anyway, thanks for visiting and feel free to leave a comment if you want. Hopefully some of these can make an impact, so be sure to comeback again!​

SUNSET BLVD

We're still chasing
Sunsets
Riding in this car
Don't know where we are
and you're feeling
Nervous
Pray you're not too far
but right now I feel your heart,
beating
let it sing
let it dance
let it stop just for the chance
I get to see you again
and tonight the moon's alive
but the sun really never dies
so when the sun sets tonight
I'll still be seeing stars in your eyes​

 

[LazyDaze]

GREEN EYES

I smile when I'm feeling lonely
Xanax and God are the only things that hold me
don't blame the heart
when the stomach growls
when it's really the eyes that make you hungry
Trust me I know
Yes, I know...
But maybe I'm hoping you have the same green eyes too
Understand what I mean when I say I'm happy for you,
and I'm so glad that you're doing well
But you, your lover, and your pretty smile
can all burn in hell.​

 

[LazyDaze]

I keep holding on
You keep holding on
But we're not that strong
and forever might be long
but is 'never' something wrong
Some nights you're here
Some nights I'm gone
Tell my heart where it belongs
Is never something wrong
Because all we have are tears
and songs.​

 

[LazyDaze]

HEARTBEATS

You keep telling yourself
that things will be alright
and I know that you've heard it all before tonight
But don't cry
See, heartbeats don't lie
Say anything
Say nothing
Find truth with every beat and every breath
and when we're all we have left
know that we will never be alone

 

[LazyDaze]

Reality

Sometimes, your dreams never come true
Sometimes, they will learn to live without you
Sometimes your hopes will never be
reality
But when I close my eyes
as tears build inside
still I decide
that the good things
and all beautiful things
will eventually find their way
to me​

 

[LazyDaze]

Sometimes I cry
thinking about you
wondering why
tears say I'm alive
but dead without you too
but there she goes, into the night, across the sky
she's so free and you can see
she's a star, in my heart, I know she's a star
seven colors apart
a promise
the storm never starts

You're going to smile
and after awhile
I find myself smiling with you
I'm not ashamed
of the sound of your name
The world feels that way too
because there she goes
sprouting her wings, flying away
the beautiful things that makes me say
she's a star, worlds apart, not only in thoughts
shooting stars, a wish that you'll never depart

So goodbye, tonight.
I'll see you tomorrow
I know what you'd say, beyond this grave
and just know when I'm gone
I promise I'll move on
So I'll let you go, into the night
above the sky, sharing your light,
because you're a star, you're a star
you're a promise, that these storms won't tear me apart
I'll see you in later days​

KOBE BRYANT

Dear Kobe Bryant,

I wish I could have written a letter before you went away
You've gone towards even lights brighter than LA
Days will go by and rain will always be
Tears outside and cracks in a heart the world cannot see
I was never 6' 6 but you taught me to stand tall
You showed the world that life is greater than a ball
Mamba mentality, pride, bravery, and a will to never fail
If at first you don't succeed, the ship has never sailed
You taught us to make mistakes and live
To give until there was nothing left
Through broken fingers and cracked ribs
I still thought you were the best
I was a child and now i've grown
and still you were the greatest I've ever known
No fear in your attacks
Even I thought death couldn't hold you back
I waited for it all to be a lie
to rise like you always do
but to a greater place we'll watch you fly
But still on earth we'll always remember you.
great player greater father
I wish the best to you and your daughters

Thank you Kobe Bryant
Thank you for everything.

Sincerly,
Your biggest fan.

TRACTOR BEAMS

Looking through the rain
Into a world you can't see
Shining clouds and tractor beams
take me higher...
and higher
above the singing sky
above the twisted sighs
above the laughing sirens
above the storm that is my mind
​

 

[LazyDaze]

Blue Windows

You can't see roses
through blue windows
Counting both our sins
All the petals fall
They can wilt without me
It's always raining
when I'm crying
I suppose that means I'm alive, and
After all this time
we love so casually​

 

[LazyDaze]

STRATOSPHERE

Look at where we are
We came so far to be here
right among the stars
but there's no one around
I'll always miss those sounds
and I could find my real dreams
if I come crashing down with you
and it ain't what it seems
when you finally find those things
now I just want to leave this stratosphere

S H A R D S​

The dead shed no tears, but I…
I’ll cry if I don’t die for you,
take off and go break the sky for you
Tell me heart to restart and lie to my mind for you
Take a second and live from your point of view
In the night I get caught dreaming of the next day
Sunset to sunrise to always,
Always, I have to do things
…to translate and showcase everything I feel
Things don’t always measure up to dreams…
Well,
I can only die once
Never could cry enough
Jump higher and higher,
until I’m space dust
These dreams are beautiful,
Until the day I wake up
and I see you
Performing those miracles; my glass heart beside you
You can see cracks from the past and I know it’s not perfect
The fractions became satirical, my glass shards beside you
I’m staring at my soul and knowing it’s not worth it
Instead of fading away I keep the broken pieces
Hoping someone could fix the scars.
While for another, you're still jumping for stars
Maybe we'll both land, and just be who we are.
Instead of always sweeping up shards.

DEAD ART​

I'm an artist but my pictures aren't physical
My mind's a canvas and your pen stay on my mental
Red ink never got me down confidence subliminal
Subliminal confidence spread by similar weasels
This your prototype and you're type billion, just another me
another me stuck in the crowd, creativity too loud
If I speak loud enough maybe I'll get a crown
Then I could look down
at the sun beating a dragon now
To sleep under his brothers make a wish when he shoots
If I had one wish I would wish for to
To understand a speech you can't hear
To understand an understanding too smeared
between two people who never knew fear
but new fears arise and we still die clear
clear headed simple minded or maybe just content
Content with the context of death sent-
enced to a generation of youth subjected to the explicit
and that's just life and we all paid her a visit.​

~Pandora City~

Clowns along a red carpet with a painted smile
Red paint over sad faces
Red shoes without red laces
Red tape on your feet whenever you walk places
Tasteless,
Walk in my shoes for a day, I’ll call you faceless
Another pawn in a crowd, as I stand in your schematics
Enjoying the vices, the creation of an addict
Addicts, Addicted to higher society and all their ruses.
Useless
Let them toast to your tears as the wine glasses resonate
Swirling in the glass is your blood and your hate
It’s never enough to forestall their fate
As their hungry vision eventually become deadweight and…
World War and World Peace are bliss
Broken drug stores and Currency are bliss
Rotten cores and philanthropy are bliss,
and a dead me is completely consensual.
Color me outdated as I fade to the dark
Away from a world with a corrupted heart
I was always here at the start…
Sincerely "I" who was left in the box…​

IF YOU COULD FLY

​

If you could fly
Where would you escape
When your mind follows you to every space
outer space, spaced out in someone elses place
Space bar, the quickest way to Jupiter is a tree
The quickest path to dependency depends on me
mental state, I'm solid nah that's matter, and people tell me that I don't
Say I won't, i hear the chatter and peer pressure's a real factor that I hope
Never influences me to influence those after I should pass away, pass the virus
influenza, and medicine we don't take, because influencers contaminate the brains beside us
Divide us, I just need to take break, to God I conversate, trying to reach heaven by building a written staircase
Verse 4 + 8
Start over...where do I go when it all crumbles
upon the question again I stumble
But this time to myself I mumble, If I could fly...
How happy would I be?
Or would I clip my wings
Trying to post the clouds on social media
fly right through a plane and tell my gift I never needed ya
blaming my wings when it was always the wind deceiving ya
See, greater heights never solved problems on the ground
So no matter how high, I always find myself looking down
At how it used to be
Go back in time
future self on the line
no use crying about spilt wine
that's past your prime,
Optimus
optimistic for the future pessimistic for the present
I present you presents in the form of knowledge to prevent
thoughtlessness
I see you flapping your arms on the asphalt
As traffic threatens harm because life never stalls
It passes you by, runs red lights and never pays a fine
So fine, I'll humor the man as I walk by
You can run so why would you try to fly?

 

[LazyDaze]

L.E.D

I'm a menace, I'm a monster
you the savior, you're the author
of history so I'll listen to what you have say
Anything to avoid being an isolated, cast away
apologies to my Wilsons.
apologies for my lifestyle
You know we love feeling imprisoned
and I love getting hostile
i'll die for a dollar
but it won't die for me
green collars choke my mind
but thank god I'm free.
You see, ethics don't matter when your eyes are green
that's what he thought before his blood was found in Toyota, under LED

I'd probably live forever
and Lord knows I'm beautiful
and who needs a powerful mind, a body is more useful
temple never desecrated as long as I get the usual
diamonds, rings, roses, appearance indisputable
integrity lacking, and my heart is slacking
but if I had a Porsche on the beach i'll be soon relaxing
because to them I'm Aphrodite
and that's enough for me
but to him I was just another victim when he turned off the LED

Can't let it go
out of my life she is
I gave her the world but my world became his
Karma and Cupid steadily waltzing on my brain
a cycle of violence, I'm aware of, but addictive is this game
burning down this road
no U turns anymore
The only six witnesses, I'm about to reload
I know its wrong even as I write
No regrets, I still turn the wheel,
make a left, another left, then I swerve right
Just one second Imagine just how we feel
Murder suicide, Bermuda triangle for all to see
when the cops laughed at 3 bodies decorating the streets under LED​

 

[LazyDaze]

Its Okay

Lethargic apologies given, coerced by obligation
I often flashback to those dual interrogations
A dove sent, a dove not trusted
So with clipped wings into this world we were thrusted
but alright, it's okay.
The sun is still bright like yesterday
I know it's still shining behind the rain
just know it's alright, and I'm okay

My heart on the ground, bury it with a pound of salt
If I could feel it burn I would know it's real.
Illusions heal
Illusions don't feel
Sad to say most illusions kill
slowly, An absence of the heart sends it out of mind
but fonder the memories when mine and yours were intertwined
You never saw me cry, and you never saw me die
but if I'm not the same me am I really alive?
but alright, It's okay.
The stars are going to shine anyway
Even if we are in a different space
It shines the same and that's okay

If I drive down a road without looking 180
maybe I could gain a Ferrari or Mercedes
with a mind focused, but all cars have a rear view
so when I'm looking forward I still see you
Thinking of things hopeful and better
Paradox, comparisons of future and past together
In the dark, wishing I met you never
but the truth is if you came back to me I wouldn't have to finish this let-
well alright, its okay.
Some things just don't stay the same
I'd rather live in a life filled with change and pain
than live in an eternal void, mundane
well alright I still know your face
a memory doesn't mean I'm shackled to hate
Doesn't mean Im stuck in the same dark place
because at least I know that you're okay. GoodBye.......​

All We Have

Sometimes we forget
how things used to be
because the world just keeps turning for eternity
How could you forget
Why don't you remember me
I guess now I'm just something your heart can't see

Always
Fading away
Like the night
Fighting the day
All ways
ending with pain
but I'll say I'm alright
I'll say I'm okay

And all you have to see
is that all we have are dreams
So when it's you finding me
pulling on torn strings
know it's all I have


​

 

[LazyDaze]

Con-Science

You need me
to tell me you're worth it
Pain equals your freedom, never chance you earned
Certain as a ball of fire after pulling the curtains
then burn your iris with the piercing light of the earnest
You need me
to tell you it's worth it
to claim worth in miracles then pretend you deserve it
flowers bloom in the shade, and only wilt if you hurt it
If your heart's the bud then your actions determine
the petals and seeds to take root in the earth and
watch cherry trees touch the sky upon their resurface
eat the fruit of your labors and speak to the serpent
or descend dark depths and domesticate Cerberus
or be swept away in tantalizing turbulence
or blend in with the chaos, calamity, and curses
or smile for the masses till infinity, reverse it
You can go back in time and fix wherever the hurt hits
the hardest lesson learned is to preserve it
If you leave before the Apocalypse it's a crisis averted
Sit before a screen and escape wherever Earth is
It's never my fault; I don't feel on purpose!
Freedom Joy, Surprise
Anger, Hate, Lies
Trust, Happy, Anxi,
ety, Faith, Doubt, Pride
You need me
You need me
You need me
You'll never know these lies I told, until I go
the quiet grows, so loud
My thoughts so real
that memories kill
softly when your voice ain't around
you need me

What does it mean to be happy?
It means you smile a lot.
That sounds sappy
Perhaps you’re just a little crabby?
That’s why I’m asking you, what does it mean to be happy!
It means no frowning spots
Well that’s ridiculous
Hey it’s your predicament
I’m already sick of this
Well that will be 89 dollars and 60 cents
Ruthless, you still haven’t told me, What it means to be-
Happy?
Hey don’t finish my-
Sentence?
Oh no you-
Didn’t?
Well I won’t talk, you can’t speak when its-
Written?
Ah bad idea...this sessions is getting-
Expensive?
Annoying. AAAAAH, come on seriously what does it mean to be-
Happy, it is an adjective; the feeling or showing pleasure or contentment:
….Thats just the definition
It’s the literal answer to your question
But I wanted a philosophical position
I thought you wanted to end the session?
Actually I have a confession
You’re in love with Life?
Love is a strong word it’s more of a very solid like.
Yesterday you said she could be your bride...
Okay I love her fine!
She rejected you again and made you cry?
Can you just tell me if happiness means you're alive?
Ehhhhh maybe tomorrow, same time?
I guess until I figure this out I can’t let you die.
Great! Mark it down, Appointment for Death at 8:45.​
