Midnight snowball fight on Center Street Moonlit kids duck behind their pillars Tossing chilly hand grenades packed so tight Never seen so many exploding smiles Plows roll through like bowling balls That never strike their pins Echoing through the alleys In town, see the pink light of the clouds Hesitating at the corner I called everyone I know to join the action But they're like cats sleeping with the heat Always need to land on their feet No more excuses to avoid fun I won't slide into the winter slump So I fall So I fall

chlorine 02:38
Blasting all the chlorine off my body Going to sleep still smelling pool-sweet Nothing beats you rippling through No hearts beat as fast as ours do I'm still betting on another four weeks The benefits always canceling It all amounts to numbers on a screen No one knows the things that we mean Those swimmers have lead arms, baby But they always miss you when they swing

I will always be learning I will always dig deep I will always seek out opportunity I will be the best man I can be Oh, you wouldn't believe How long it took to believe me I will always have a level head I will always have a soapy heart I will always put myself at start But I will be the best man I can be And everyone's lucky when they shake my hand Oh, you wouldn't believe How long it took to believe these things

i overslept 01:47
It's not mechanical, it's a process That unfolds overnight And folding myself in clean sheets Will never get me in line For the third time this week My legs are complaining Bending themselves into weird shapes My knees never stayed straight Someday I will turn in early for you.

You're yelling in the street But you won't see Any of these People anymore, So it doesn't matter You're yelling at midnight bingo When your numbers aren't called Because it's better than being Out on the town Where you don't matter You're yelling with your friends Because each of your voices Fills the air Swirling into a noisy cloud That will always matter You're yelling and not staying quiet

✔list 01:40
Your eyes are turning into black ice again Must have been another boy Who's excepted from your checklist I've rewritten mine and you can too But first take the time to write yourself Back into your life You're on all night But you've lost your voice So give 'em a good dose of silence You're dragging like a winter's day But even the cold can feel lovely And you will feel lovely soon

about

i've always struggled to write songs that i actually like. i've also grappled with being a perfectionist about my songwriting. during the last week of january 2016, i decided to throw caution to the wind. i wrote a song every day for a week. my only constraint was time. i wrote things that sounded good to me, no matter how long or how structured.

so, with my acoustic guitar, my voice, my phone's voice recording app, and a whole bunch of forgiveness, here's blisscipline album 1. maybe you'll see me perform someday with more people behind me and i'll be a little louder. maybe i'll do more of these end-of-the-month album things (that's a yes maybe).

during this project, i felt more positive throughout the week. it gave me something to look forward to; something to keep me busy and happy during a bleak time of year.

i hope you find something that makes you feel that way too.
