Forget about your luggage and smoke nuggets. Lose all of your baggage and smoke cabbage. We don't have to be sad with the weed that I got today. And we should smoke it, so that we can get high. No joke, it's time, it's 4:25. I think we're late, man, we gotta get there, we can do it if we can pursue it. Let's go buy some weed and smoke it on the weekend. Just got out of work and you wanna get so high and we know why, cause you're so good at doin' your job. But sometimes you gotta take off. Take off in your mind and you will find that it's not so hard to get past all of those lies that they tell you, cause you know who you really are. They can't sell you. They don't know how far you've come, you are the one who tells it like it is. Oh and you'll see through all the fakeness and you'll take this moment for what it is. You're gonna do it, yeah. I can tell that you're ready to go. So go on with your mind and find a good friend, smoke a big fat joint and join in the happy conversation that can stop us from being complacent. That's not us. We gotta be ourselves and let ourselves out, get over our self doubt, and really help out. We have got ourselves and each other, so we gotta do everything to protect our love for one another.

If you need some serious hugs. If you're sick of waging wars. If you feel you need some love, but don't know what you need it for. If you feel like you barely exist. If you know that the struggle is real. If you don't like the way that it is, but don't know why that's how you feel. You might set yourself apart from all of this. And you might see that love is free and life still has a purpose. You might put this up and pin it to your wall. It's a sign that says, "You're never gonna fall." No, you'll just keep on keepin' on. You're never gonna fall. If you're sick of the fear and the lies. If you're tired of the guns going off. If you don't want to build up a wall, because you know the harm it'll cause. If you can't stand to not stand up. If you want more equality now. If you feel you should give more love, but don't know why that's how you feel. You might put all of your heart in all of this. And you might free the love inside, that hides beneath the surface. You might put this up and pin it to your wall. It's a sign that says, "You're never gonna fall." No, you'll just keep on keepin' on. You're never gonna fall.

Near Me 03:16
You're the one that I need in my life. You're the one who can't be repeated twice. You are beautiful and perfect the way you are, and I'm so glad that you're in my life so far. And when you're near me I feel as if something is real, in a world that is so full of fakes, I'm so glad that I see your face. And every day I do I love you and every night that's through I hug you and kiss you goodnight, and I just might have to kiss you again in the morning when you wake up. I love all the time that you take up in my mind, I'd be blind to any feeling. My heart goes through the ceiling when you are near me. My heart goes through the ceiling when you are near me. Oh, when you're near me. Oh... You're the one that I need in my life. You're the one who helps me to see things right. There were many things I had done wrong before, but that all changed when you came walking through my door. And when you're near me I know that there's nowhere else to go, and there's nowhere else that I would rather be. When I'm with you and you're with me. And when I say I do, I love you. And when you say it too, I hug you and kiss you goodnight, and I just might have to kiss you again in the morning when you wake up. I love all the time that you take up in my mind, I'd be blind to any feeling. My heart goes through the ceiling when you are near me. My heart goes through the ceiling when you are near me. Oh, when you're near me. Oh... oh...

Soda Water 04:09
I drink a lot of soda water for the bubbles. I drank a lot of other stuff and got in trouble. I smoke a lot of pot to keep my stress levels low and I guess you'll never know how I keep my levels low if you never ever smoked... Weed, is all that I need to get high. Weed is filling my brain to the sky like a bubble. You've got to hug all your friends, and with everyone make amends, cause life is for real not pretend and it's not the end. No it's not the end. No, no. No, no. So if you catch me floatin' and I'm comin' down, meet me in the moment on the common ground. Cause everybody's looking for a never found truth and it's all around you, so you'll never do without and you'll hav to do it now... Love, we have all got to give out. Love. Nothing gets better without any struggle. You've got to hug all your friends, and with everyone make amends, cause life is for real not pretend and it's not the end. No it's not the end. No, no. No, no. So if you see me comin' please don't walk the other way, cause I'm going back and forth and could really use a friend. Lying in this bed I've made but I can't get to sleep, I keep holding on to dreams that will never come to be. So I have to set 'em free... Let it be. Life will get better with time. C' est la vie. Live for the sun, let it shine up above you. You've got to love who you've got. Cause that's all you've got in the end. So you've got to hug all your friends and make amends, cause it's not the end. No, no. No, no. No, no. No, no....

Kelly and Jeremy, their getting married again. So tell everybody and bring all your family and friends. We're gonna celebrate all of the love that they share, and build up some more love on top of the love that is there. And it's there for every season, and it's there for every child. So there has to be a reason for the way it brings a smile to the faces of the people in their life. So for the second time around, let's hear it for the husband and wife. For the second time around, let's hear it for the husband and wife. Kelly and Jeremy, they've got a family now. So every day is a chance to renew all their vows. Three thousand six hundred and fifty two days in the past. They made a vow to stay true to a love that would last. And it lasts for every season and it's there for every kid. So there has to be a reason for the way it helps to lift up the hearts of all the people in their life. So for the second time around, let's hear it for the husband and wife. For the second time around, let's hear it for the husband and wife.

What's going on inside my head? All my thoughts have been misled. I write songs and pick up pens. I don't farm and pick up hens before bed. I don't count any sheep or keep any flocks no, I can barely keep a thought. My mind goes only this way or that. It never sits back and takes it with a grain of salt, but it's no fault of it's own. It's no fault of it's own. It's no fault of it's own. What's going on inside my head? Nothing really when I'm dead. Nothing left inside my brain. Before and after I exist are the same as this moment is, not to be missed, but shown to everyone. And when the moon's reflecting it right, projecting the light, we all see love in everyone. Yes we're servants of the sun. Yes we're servants of the sun. Yes we're servants of the sun. And sometimes it's hard to know just how you feel, when the real things all go fake and it seems the time it takes to get it right is just mistakes. And when your mind is always aching and you're tired of always making up excuses for your life, you've got to try to look on the bright side and keep those sullen thoughts at bay. Somewhere out beyond the sunrise. And it's your party if you want to cry. You've got to try to tell the truth of your love. It's the proof of what you are. It's the proof that you are distant cousins to the stars. So doesn't Mars seem much closer when you look at it like that? Closer when you look at it like that. Closer when you look at it like that.

It's so easy bakin' somethin' in our easy bakin' oven, with the choices that we've chosen from the frozen aisle. We just hit the preheat button, wait for it to heat the oven, pretty soon we're eatin' somethin' in a little while. Sometimes we get Amy's bowls or Amy's pizza pie. There's so many different choices, we must give them each a try, so, "Hey there, how's it goin' dude, would you like some frozen food?" "Hey there, how's it goin' miss, would you like some frozen fish?" "Hey there, old gray mule, would you like some home made gruel?" Frozen food and baked goods are good for you. Frozen food and baked goods are good for you. They're good for me too. It's nice to meet you. If you wish for something tasty, we can whip you up a pastry or a muffin you can stuff in every corner of your mouth. If you like to dip a cookie in your cocoa or your coffee, you may drop a bit of chocolate chip cookie on the ground. This is where three second rules really don't apply, but it's okay, cause I saved you a piece of apple pie, so, "Hey there, I wish that you would share with me some from fresh baked goods." "Hey there, I wish you would try some of this delicious pie." "We can make some whoopie pie too. Anything you'd like to do." Frozen food and baked goods are good for you. Frozen food and baked goods are good for you. They're good for me too. It's nice to meet you. If you need some catering, we hope that it's okay to bring the most delicious thing you ever tasted in your life. It's a veggie chicken nugget and we think you're gonna love it, cause it tastes just like McDonald's with some ketchup on the side. If you think that it's impossible just take another bite. It isn't really chicken but it surely tastes a lot like Fake chicken nugget fast food, and that is wht we have for you. We hope it's your favorite dish. If not, we have flavorless fish. But it's fake, so don't be alarmed. It was never killed or farmed. Frozen food and baked goods are good for you. Frozen food and baked goods are good for you. Frozen food and baked goods. Frozen food and baked goods. Frozen food and baked goods are good for you.

Let You Go 02:41
I'd rather be layin' with you, baby. But I just sit here playin' ukulele. I've been lookin' forward to the future. Livin' for each moment that includes ya. Lookin' back I know I must go forwards. I have found that it's so hard to find any more words to say to you to tell you I love you right now, and that's all that I care about. I have to say it quickly cause this is the only moment that I have to let you know that I hope I never have to let you go. Yes I hope I never have to let you go. And I thought you might be glad to know that I loved you from the start and you're always in my heart. It's a love I never had before and I hope I never have to let you go. Yes I hope I never have to let you go. And I thought you might be glad to know that I love you for all time and you're always on my mind, every moment that I have to hold. And I hope I never have to let you go.

Time Again 02:04
Time, it goes nowhere and comes from nowhere to. Time, it's never gonna wait around for you. Time marches on with songs to fill the years. Time is a chime that rings in a million ears. Time makes a moment feel like a long gone day. Time. You're never gonna relive yesterday. Time. You're never gonna relive yesterday. Time moves along without your concentrating mind. Time's never lost but so often it is hard to find. Time doesn't give you much going up or down. Time, it's continuously coming back around. Time makes a moment feel like a long gone day. Time. You're never gonna relive yesterday. Time. You're never gonna relive yesterday and you'll never turn it back. No, no. No you'll never turn it back. No, no. No, no.

about

Kevin Haynes Portland, Oregon

When I'm not freestyling lyrics to songs into the recorder on my phone, I like to write original folk/pop music on ukulele, guitar and piano. Music inspires my creativity and has helped me grow and make connections over the years. It's something I will never stop pursuing and I'm happy to be able to share it with you. Thanks for listening! ... more
