King of Corinth

Verse 1
Adam’s curse and castle’s hassle
Turn me in to quite the asshole
As I’m aware, it’s true
Days collecting twigs in branches
Leave little place for chances
To reflect on what we build
Artist’s hands adorned with callous
As we strive to fill this palace
decorate our little tomb
Chorus 1
Monday,
My mind drifts to the afternoon,
When this is over,
And I’m back at home with you
Verse 2
Not from much, it’s why we’re building
A better life for both our children
A world made brand new
Oh vanity of vanities
Stuck between both want and need
With competing pride and guilt
Fated as the king of Corinth
It’s worth it if i’m home with
This beautiful lady and our brood
Chorus 2
Tuesday,
My mind drifts to the afternoon,
When this is over,
And I’m back at home with you
Wednesday,
My mind drifts to the afternoon,
When this is over,
And I’m back at home with you
Whistle Solo
Chorus 3
Thursday,
My mind drifts to the afternoon,
When this is over,
And I’m back at home with you
Friday,
My mind drifts to the afternoon,
When this is over,
And I’m back at home with you

Saplings older than our founding pride
Granite piled over a mile high
Coastal peaks just out of sight
In the shadow of western gods
Glacial remains from a former age
Quiet points where no head has laid
More to see than I have days
In the shadow of western gods
I’ve seen it all
I’ve seen it all
I’ve seen it all
And I feel small
At seven thousand feet it’s surreal
Doubting all you see and feel
Waiting for the paint to peel
In the shadow of western gods
Deities born of ancient texts
Children, these giants attest
Under branch become the blessed
In the shadow of western gods
I’ve seen it all
I’ve seen it all
I’ve seen it all
And I feel small
Marvel in the shadow of western gods
Wonder at the sights from above
There is nothing new beneath the sun
Stand in awe become undone
I’ve seen it all
I’ve seen it all
I’ve seen it all
And I feel small

Been watchin' all the news
come across the TV
There's a virus in the air
and crowds for TP
Some say we're unprepared
I watch Mike and Amy
They seem to have some idea
Of what might save me
And I'm sitting in the basement of my home
Playing my guitar, practically alone
We are a solitary bunch
The type who never leave the house
In a game of tag we're on the base
In hide-and-seek we're never found
We're so excited
We live on quarantine
The kids are in their rooms
School's out for summer
Endless free time to play games
Watch TV and wonder
Where they got this endless glut
of leisure and slumber
Aloof to the threat
that it seems we're under
And it might be more serious than they know
They're just glad that they're home
We are a solitary bunch
The type who never leave the house
In a game of tag we're on the base
In hide-and-seek we're never found
We're so excited
We live on quarantine
We are a solitary bunch
The type who never leave the house
In a game of tag we're on the base
In hide-and-seek we're never found
We're so excited
We live on quarantine
And I don't know what to think
I've never seen the world shut down
I hope everyone is safe
Just glad to be at my house
I'll make the most of it
Sitting with you here right now
We are a solitary bunch
The type who never leave the house
In a game of tag we're on the base
In hide-and-seek we're never found
We're so excited
We live on quarantine
We are a solitary bunch
The type who never leave the house
In a game of tag we're on the base
In hide-and-seek we're never found
We're so excited
We live on quarantine

Lucky Numbers
05:12
|

Verse 1
one out of one-hundred
Twelve tailing one-oh-five
Thirty-two for three point three
Three thirty set to strive
Two hands of born abundance
He's got those lucky numbers
Three six twice, four and twenty
Sacred seven and perfect ten
One translates to two and eighty
Twenty-third are perfect twins
X and X band together
She’s got those lucky numbers
Chorus
They've got those lucky numbers
The kind you've never seen
They've got those lucky numbers
Sharing the air we breathe
See how they walk among us
Head high above the trees
They've got those lucky numbers
Better'n you'll ever be
Dice is rolled and you wonder
Where fate cannot comfort
They've got those lucky numbers
They've got those lucky numbers
Verse 2
Seventy-eight of seven
Six less a twentieth of one
Twenty-two of eight and eighteen
Ninety-three million to the sun
Seven days or four giga-annum
Who’s got those lucky numbers
Forty years in the desert
A time, two times, half a time
Chasing seventy and seven
Finding twelve and six aligned
Eight or ten, blood or thunder
Who’s got the lucky numbers
Chorus
We've got those lucky numbers
The kind you can't believe
We've got those lucky numbers
Breathing the air we breathe
See all the stars before us
A bare few fit for kings
We've got those lucky numbers
Space and time agree
Dice was rolled and you wonder
If fate cannot comfort by
We've got those lucky numbers
We've got those lucky numbers

Rest with Me
04:54

Formless and void
Hovered above the water
We came together
The day, the night
Pulling both/ the sea and sky Asunder
From the dawn
Building life from none
I
Would never change a day of it
The dark, the light, the parting water
I
Would never change a day of it
In fire and flood we form each other
In fire and flood we form each other
The sprouts and leaves
Flourishing in the garden
We plant together
Two of our kind
Fragments of us/ to weave, to shape, to color
From the dawn
Building life from none
I
Would never change a day of it
The dark, the light, the parting water
I
Would never change a day of it
In fire and flood we form each other
I
Would never change a day of it
The beasts, the toil, the pain of labor
I
Would never change a day of it
In fire and flood we form each other
Fire and flood we form each other
These short years
We’ve made a world together
Rest with me
All that we’ve made, see that it is good
I
Would never change a day of it
The dark, the light, the parting water
I
Would never change a day of it
In fire and flood we form each other
I
Would never change a day of it
The beasts, the toil, the pain of labor
I
Would never change a day of it
In fire and flood we form each other
Fire and flood we form each other

How often do I clean my car
How often do I clean my bathroom
How often do I clean everything I own
And how thorough
I need to wash my hands today
There's just no way around it
And if I wash ten times today
I should feel good about it
How often do they clean this place
How often do they clean this bathroom
How often do they clean everything around me
And how thorough
I need to wash my hands today
There's just no way around it
And if I wash ten times today
I should feel good about it
Twenty seconds with soap and water
Twenty seconds with soap and water
I need to wash my hands today
There's just no way around it
The average person pees six times
Poops one time
Eats three times
And touches
Everything
Everywhere
Everyday
I need to wash my hands today
There's just no way around it
And if I wash ten times today
I should feel good about it
Twenty seconds with soap and water
Twenty seconds with soap and water
I need to wash my hands today
There's just no way around it
Twenty seconds with soap and water
Twenty seconds with soap and water

Saul, son of Kish
03:33
|
|||
Verse 1
The prophet Samuel warned the people,
About their desired monarchy.
They'd lose their sons, their daughters, their fields
And to destruction it would lead.
Chorus 1
Obey the people in what they say
They don't reject you, they're rejecting me.
Oh Israel, have your king
Verse 2
Son of Kish could lead an army.
Place Israel's enemies beneath her feet.
Hundreds thousands strong, armed and marching
Against man, woman, child, ox, and sheep.
Chorus 2
Obey the people in what they say
They don't reject you, they're rejecting me.
Oh Israel, have your king
Bridge
My biggest issue with this allegory,
Are Saul's crimes in this story.
God asked him for wholesale slaughter:
Man, woman, animal, sons and daughters.
Saul performed the genocide,
But let some sheep and oxen abide.
I guess it's a lesson in obedience,
That I find my heart completely poised against.
Chorus 3
Obey the people in what they say
They don't reject you, they're rejecting me.
Oh Israel, have your king
A champion to crush your enemies
Man, woman, and child beneath your feet.
Oh Israel, you can have your king.
Oh Israel, you can have your king.
Oh Israel, you can have your king.

Gabe Schwartz Ohio
Witness the sight of a middle-aged man trying hard to not seem like he's trying hard and spiraling in shame because of it.
Drink in the self interest masquerading as self effacing in the midst of self serving self deprecation.
Gabe Schwartz is a nominal musician and songwriter. Possibly. He attempts these feats alone as testament to the great difficulty he has in interacting with others.
