These birds can sing Flap their wings Fly free like it’s the first day of spring This world can bring Such suffering It can you sharp when you’re just hanging on by a string Don’t even cling Or try to be some king Just find a comfy swing and swing Cause we don’t know if we know anything - Who even are we? What even is this That ain’t your business, just trust the physics Trust the ones that tell you ‘bout your limits Like they were there to witness whatever did this Don’t trust your prey to help you with your hunting Don’t trust the bread just ‘cause you’re in the dungeon They throw assumptions at your with instructions You know they don’t know nothing and, hey, at least that’s something Baby - Shrink me to an atom, small as you can get me Or blast me into space, way out past the Trekkies At either end, the math gets kinda messy Blueprints sketchy, it’s all a little guessy If God didn’t bless me then why can I come And bare my soul to the beat of a drum We can be electric, we can be numb Seems odd if we’re just astro-crumbs This ain’t just zeroes and ones - We don’t know if we know anything, baby We don’t know if we know anything We don’t know if we know anything, baby We don’t know if we know anything at all We don’t know if this is real as it gets, baby And in this life, I don’t think we’ll ever know We don’t know if we know anything, baby We don’t know if we know anything at all Anything at all - Do we live inside a snow globe Inside another snow globe If we’re all a bunch of particles Then why is everything so beautiful We live inside a snow globe That’s full of fucking miracles Where everything dies and grows and shows That nothing’s really fair at all We live inside a snow globe Is the glass as far as it goes Are our hands the ones in control And should we even care at all - That we even exist, whatever that means It means we can laugh, we can cry, we can scream We can carry on like it’s all a dream May as well be, we in the holocene I’ve seen a lot, I ain’t seen a drop There’s views you can’t see if you’ve seen mountaintops Cause you don’t find truth by hearing ‘em talk We may never know, but we can never stop Oh it never stops - We don’t know if we know anything, baby We don’t know if we know anything We don’t know if we know anything, baby We don’t know if we know anything at all We don’t know if this is real as it gets, baby And in this life, I don’t think we’ll ever know We don’t know if we know anything, baby We don’t know if we know anything at all We know what this is like a dog knows economics We think we know the stars, we barely know the comets We don’t know if we know anything, baby We don’t know if we know anything at all Anything at all - We don’t know if we anything at all We don’t know if we anything at all We don’t know if we anything at all We don’t know if we anything at all Anything at all

Did you know that we can disagree That there ain’t no place we actually gotta be That you can choose your face and your fantasies Did you know that we got a lot we can be - Did you know that we know what we need We got gas and brakes, and we choose the speed This place got lemonade; if you like, there’s tea Man, we so fuckin’ free Yeah we’re free to go out and spread our seed And we’re free to escape it all with weed Find pain to embrace or just bereave We got a lot we can be And a lot we can see And it’s all just kind of dream Where you can go - Anywhere you wanna go You go anywhere you wanna go Anywhere you wanna go You go anywhere you wanna go - Did you know that we can take the lead That we don’t have to chase, we don’t have to plead Don’t have to copy and paste last week this week Things don’t have to be How they’ve been Forever and ever and ever and ever Blowing through days like there’s nothing to treasure Forever and ever and ever and ever Trading for fulfillment for flags of surrender Dealing with stressors by drowning in pleasures Evading the pressure to ever get better Letting go of the levers and all your endeavors Settle for lesser in every measure You can see You and me We can be Anything And you can go - Anywhere you wanna go You go anywhere you wanna go Anywhere you wanna go You go anywhere you wanna go Anywhere you wanna go You go anywhere you wanna go Anywhere you wanna go You go anywhere you wanna go

And I bet it’s something nice, just sitting by the pool And keeping your cool No calculations, no rhetorical duels Taking all the fuel You got up - Oh, can’t you just take a trip to the zoo And enjoy the kangaroos No bringing up the past or your black and blues No breaking news Can chilling with the crew just be chilling with the crew Tipping no canoes You’re free like it’s a dream, go visit the giraffes for a few And know there’s things we can’t recoup But we go up Still, we go up And there’s - No excuse for taking all the abuse You’re shooting from the roof on yourself and I think it’s time to call a truce Stop running ‘round like there’s a tiger on the loose Ah ah ah ah, ah, ah ah ah ah Don’t you wanna go up - - And there’s no excuse for tying to together your own shoes Ain’t you trying to do the things you always said you’d do And there’s no excuse for being such a fucking recluse Gotta find a way to lose without tying up your own noose You gotta tame the tiger on the loose Ah ah, ah ah. Ah, ah ah ah ah Tame it before we go up Before we go up Before we go up

It kinda fucks with me We on the cusp of free But to what degree We see it’s crumbling All the plundering The cracks underneath Some are stuck asleep Some hide under sheets Do you trust the weak We ain’t yet under siege So I think I’ve had enough disease I’m still wondering If it’s so, but let’s act like it’s up to me - We don’t run the streets We into puns and weed And they got submarines And submachines It’s all plummeting You ain’t begun to need Become the breeze Still jump with glee Yeah, you must succeed Don’t give up the dream Condemn your sun to freeze Live redundantly While you ain’t the one under your feet - Remember to live like these are the days of luxury Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh Remember when I told you that these are the days of luxury Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh - - I hope you’ll come to see We didn’t come to see We come to be So be Be abundantly - Remember to live like these are the days of luxury Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh Remember when I told you that these are the days of luxury Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh

Pack your bags, we’re leaving, they’ll say This ain’t a weekend, it’s an extended stay Hope you got your needs and your dreams met along the way Pack your bags we’re leaving Did you even make the most of your days - Hold up, conductor, I’ll screech All I did was suffer, all I did was reach I didn’t get enough of holding hands at the beach I never recovered, broke free from the leash Never slayed my dragon, never earned my bride Stop the wagon, I cried The whole time I was bragging. I said I tried, but I lied They’ll say quit your nagging Your chances all been taken Hope you enjoyed the ride - Hope you enjoyed the ride Hope you enjoyed the ride Hope you enjoyed the ride Hope you enjoyed the ride - We’ve reached the station, and it’s time to leave Did you get the relations you tried to achieve Was it really amazing? Did you roll up your sleeves There ain’t no more ovations Did your imagination Lead? Did it die Hope you enjoyed the ride - Hope you enjoyed the ride Hope you enjoyed the ride Hope you enjoyed the ride Hope you enjoyed the ride

In the end, we just want to be free We just want to be free We want to be free In the end, we just want to be free We just want to be free We want to be free - For the first time, I want to be still Don’t need to muster the will To be No, we ain’t climbing no hill This time time ain’t just to kill We’re here to see How much we can love and how soon We can squeeze it in before the moon Takes over the beams Laughing our way out of escape rooms Seeing if we can give, not just consume How much joy can we glean - But it’s been a long, long, long time Since we even tried to touch the sky It’s been a long, long, long time Since we lived and stopped asking why - Can it be this way forever Can it be this way forever Forever, forever Can it be this way forever Forever, forever - - And sometimes we sing ooh Ooh Sometimes we sing ooh Ooh And sometimes we sing ooh Ooh Sometimes we sing ooh Ooh And sometimes we sing ooh Ooh Sometimes we sing ooh Ooh And sometimes we sing ooh Ooh Sometimes we sing ooh Ooh - That it’s been a long, long, long time Since something like this satisfied It’s been a long, long, long time Since Japanese with friends felt high It’s been a long, long, long time Since we felt joy we didn’t need to buy Been a long, long, long time Can this be the main supply Can it be this way forever - Can it be this way forever Forever, forever Can it be this way forever Forever, forever Can it be this way forever Forever, forever Can it be this way forever Forever, forever

Looking back, there was no malintention Coming or going, no nefarious henchmen An IV of straight apprehension Courage drip left in the back Full, we were never sending Despite all the talk of reinvention Plan a way out then throw your own wrench in Drive yourself right off of the track Yeah, it was like that - Looking back, was it even the heartbreak Or is the truth there’s an earlier start date The real shit that don’t make the art fake How far we going back To eighteen when porn destroyed ya Couldn’t fuck even if she enjoyed ya Cheated on you in the south of Georgia Maybe that’s too in the past Could it have been the eight years after Never learned love, just impotent disaster Put the confidence straight out to pasture Felt, lived, and was so small Fixed it, found love, made a costly fumble Hair shed says you’re feeling humble Psych ward says you took a tumble A fall - But that was back in the day of library lunches Spend thousands escaping, miss chances in hundreds Looked fear in the face, but never would punch it, recall How ya get to living in your mother’s basement Til 26 then later it’s your brother’s basement This is where you’re at when you choose not to face it At all - You got it like that Oh, baby, lately you got it like that Baby, you know you got it like that that You got it like that You got it like that Oh, baby, lately you got it like that Baby, you know you got it like that that You got it like that - Can we just stay Can we just stay here Stay Can we just oh oh oh Can we just stay Can we just stay here Stay Can we just oh oh oh Can we just stay Can we just stay here Stay Can we just oh oh oh Can we just play Can we just play scared Play Can we just oh oh oh There ain’t no way There ain’t no way here Way There ain’t no oh oh oh We can’t just stay We can’t just stay here Stay We can’t just oh oh oh ah oh - So you got some earth on your shoulder A few cuts, little clay to mold ya Wipe the tears, there’s things I ain’t shown ya Did you know that life can revolve You getting back up spring-loaded Half the worries, twice devoted Twice devoted, you can write it and quote it All - No more back in the days of being pathetic Eating your stress nearly diabetic To hell with that, these days we getting shredded We ball The street signs, they do not block us Take the top down, then go topless Fuck it, they can watch us. They ain’t gonna stop us At all I think you love me and I think you know it I think this time you ain’t about to blow it I think we staying up ‘cause you know what’s below it You crawl Back At last Cause - You got it like that Oh, baby, lately you got it like that Baby, did you know you got it like that that You got it like that You got it like that Oh, baby, lately you got it like that Baby, you know you got it like that that You got it like that - Did you stop to say Maybe we’re going the wrong way Did you stop to say Maybe all the love ain’t gone away Did you stop to say Maybe we’re going the wrong way Did you stop to pray And realize there’s so much left to say - But they never said it’d be close to this They never said it’d be close to this They never said it’d be close to this They never said They never said They never said They never said it’d be close to this They never said it’d be close to this How in the hell I ain’t noticed it They never said They never said They never said - And we don’t need no fiction, we don’t need fact You got me, I got you. And I got it like that You got it like that

about

"Divinity Infinity" is the companion album to fellow 2023 LP "My Demons & Me." It's my fifth official self-produced album, and touches upon my relationship with self and God over an eclectic musical backdrop. The songs on here were written, recorded, and (nearly fully) performed solo, and range from acoustic rock to 9+ minute piano ballads.
