Happy 4 year anniversary to my album “Beat The Virus! 2: Infectious Flugaloo”

I always feel some kinda way about my old work but I really loved some of the compositions on this one, and it was the first that was actually mostly written and recorded in quarantine (BTV1 was mostly stuff I’d been sitting on prior to that and didn’t know what to do with). Also this incredible album art is still one of my favorites and it was by @ghostcashewart

Sonnet For Dignity

Pigs all going for the throat and the throne

Safe in their slop without substance or stakes

Posing and prancing with all that they own

Gonna stay on top, whatever it takes

Aren’t we all so lucky to know them?

Their tight young bodies and generic sound

Mud-sculpted and branded like a golem

Bound in service to the overworked ground

But dignity is scarce in this business

Hard to argue with a dopamine rush

Hearts and arrows, their own kind of sickness

Calls to new friends always met with a hush

They’ll all be back to their real jobs next year

As the rest of us die and disappear

Sonnet For The Indie Scene

Fake friends, fake people, fake promises kept

Fake political stances, well-read trash

Too busy, too sober, and too inept

Keep dragging the cigarette, never ash

True talent! Who cares? It’s not about that

Where do you live? Whose hands are you shaking?

Tights ripped, loose grip, guitar polished, beer flat

All this and more! Sure. Yours for the taking

Sooner cosplay concern than write a song

Better off at your day job, school is out

No one here knows the words to sing along

No one here knows what you’re talking about

This thing only works with community

Those cool clothes don’t grant you immunity

Sonnet For Nagging Defeatism

Six forty-six, a hole in my pocket

Coming back home from a walk down the trail

Prophecy pressed into empty socket

Visions of jealousy destined to fail

What does it take to speak truth to power

River and sun proper-placed to reflect

Dreams dared to be held make grown ups cower

But children know what it’s worth to protect

Something is breaking, something is broken

Something is missing, wrapped up in slate smoke

The good is gone, but it left a token

Something is funny, I don’t get the joke

For how long can I continue climbing

Live ammunition, missing the timing

Sonnet For Tranquility

I take a walk until my head is clear

Of migraines and miscommunications

Can’t shake the sense that I’m gonna die here

Jack of none, master of machinations

The birds outnumber humans six-to-one

They blot out the sky wherever I turn

The deviant daydreams we do for fun

Worth more than we could ever hope to earn

There are worse fates than an obscure demise

Worse conclusions than a grave on a hill

They call these cold caves the home of the wise

Holes no philosophy will ever fill

The home team is losing, six-to-thirteen

The Gods can be cruel, but Fate is just mean

Sonnet For Triumph

Behold the frantic kind of ambition

Sisyphus must have had to keep going

Girl with a hand grenade on a mission

The best-kept restless secret worth knowing

Witness the kind of kind you can become

When someone is evil enough to you

It’s easy to go quiet when you’re numb

Much harder to force the compassion through

Come see the broken and gilded plaything

Walking and talking now, all on her own

Tabletop tantrums there for the taking

Unbreaking herself from boulder to bone

The freedom to do whatever she wants

The strength to abscond from where her hex haunts

Sonnet For Monetization

The art that’s made for artists never pays

But its rewards are more genuine fare

It does not pair to the capital sways

As you fail to bottle and sell the air

It’s a privilege for poets to be read

It’s a gift for a singer to be heard

A blessing kept in a hand-me-down bed

A benefactor with the final word

But art made for the masses covers bills

Often at the cost of reputation

Until you’ve spent the hole your good name fills

When the ads come on, they change the station

There’s no way to win, it’s not about you

Up against history, what can you do?

I’m so glad that I went on Troubled Waters when I did, so I could talk about Shourtney, cuz if I’d gone on this week I would’ve HAD to talk about Watcher and that would’ve bummed me out

Sonnet For The Perfect Clock

The entropy, in my body building

Inaccurate with no malice in mind

This architecture with tarnished gilding

Too much alike with its less gentle kind

The smallest flaws compound, back and forward

Those great miscalculations accounted

A balance to the ticking, so ordered

Head of this villain, on the wall mounted

Slower, for those with their heads in the clouds

Those brought low chaste in a primal pursuit

Breathing as one to the beat of the crowds

Come, then, a cough with intent to refute

Record prophecy of the explosion

Time is but a measure of erosion

How much money will you donate?

Sonnet For Fake Punks

I don’t write songs for the LA queer scene

I write them for the dykes stuck in Junction

Not a note for the rich kids, so obscene

But every rat in the back gets unction

I don’t offer absolution to you

I come with pockets full of stolen fruit

If you shiver when the wet guilt soaks through

Perhaps it’s time to find a new pursuit

Lay down your guns, take a breath, feel the burn

Nothing’s ever simple when you’re older

Chase down the fun, face your death, wait your turn

There’s plenty of places that are colder

I don’t write for the coasts or the cosplay

I write music for the ones who can’t pay

Be kinder and more normal about @taylorswift , a confirmed human being just like the rest of us.

Sonnet For Taylor Swift

I think that you are going to kill her

And strip her corpse for it’s component parts

You’re the problem and the spilt milk spiller

You know money don’t fix the feint of hearts

The old formula is near obsolete

Virgins refusing to be sacrificed

It wasn’t for the volcanoes to eat

For the people, no other food sufficed

So you try and try again to offer

A body that never belonged to you

Hoping her hot blood will fill your coffers

Nothing but the old bleak cycle will do

Too many contemporaries buried

Shame on successful women, unmarried

Small artists you need to understand that when you see an artist who you think has 'made it' tells you not to worry about the numbers and to not fret about getting more likes than reblogs they are not telling you it because they think you are stupid for caring or because they dont need to network to survive they are very likely telling you that because they have witnessed first hand the way the numbers game tears people to shreds in terms of mental health and motivation
