Moonlight

I wonder if a river ever sleeps in its bed
I want to see a mountain rise and fall
There’s no beauty such as in nature
Except for you to top it all
To have gotten us this far
It’s moonlight, come baby
It’s moonlight, come baby
It’s moonlight tonight
I wonder if a rainbow ever reveals its pot of gold
Let us shape the future to be told
With more Nason-Gallatin nights
I want to see the moonlight take a hold of you
To have gotten us this far
It’s moonlight, come baby
It’s moonlight, come baby
It’s moonlight, come baby
It’s moonlight, I said let’s do it again
Do it again, I said let’s do it again
Some other time
I said let’s do it again
Do it again, I said let’s do it again
Do it again
It’s moonlight, come baby
It’s moonlight, come baby
It’s moonlight, come baby
It’s moonlight, I said let’s do it again
Do it again, I said let’s do it again
Some other night

Beautiful Mess

What it seems to me and what it seems to you
Myth and machine sick cities unglued
Towers enthrall systems engage
It’s not a matter of how it’s a matter of wage
Who’s getting a job? Who’s getting a raise?
Labor is saved but nothing is gained
The powers at be never meant for me
Never meant for you to be free or true
Oh what are we to do?
Please don’t stress, my beautiful, beautiful mess
Please don’t stress, my beautiful, beautiful mess
Please don’t stress, my beautiful, beautiful mess
Please don’t stress
What it seems to me and what it seems to you
Myth and machine sick cities unglued
Towers enthrall systems engage
It’s not a matter of how it’s a matter of wage
Who’s getting a job? Who’s getting a raise?
Who’s reaping the fruit of everyone’s graves?
The powers at be never meant for me
Never meant for you to be free or true
Oh what are we to do?
Please don’t stress, my beautiful, beautiful mess
Please don’t stress, my beautiful, beautiful mess
Please don’t stress, my beautiful, beautiful mess
Please don’t stress, my beautiful mess

Power of 3

Thinking of you everyday
Without you, I’d have wasted away
I compensate for every pain
Do you know the time, do you?
We are the power of three
We are the power of three
We are the power
A date with myself, a little vape trail
The pills on the shelf they promote mental health
And I am so, so I asked for help
Not being here is the real hell
We are the power of three
We are the power of three
We are the power
KEXP 90.3 thank you for saving me
Shared me with you because you
You reached out thru
The radio, the radio, the radio
We are the power of three
We are the power of three
We are the power

So Excited
03:53

Thoughts come and go ditch that brain
Just goes to show we should complain
Desperate to prove that what we know
Can help us to grieve can help us to grow
And I’m so excited to lose my mind
Only time will tell
only time will tell this time
Only time will tell this time
People panic when I erupt volcanic
Decreasing their crust, breaching their trust
Give yourself to fraud, taste each and every god
They’re not what they seem, they all come in green
And I’m so excited to lose my mind
Only time will tell
only time will tell this time
Only time will tell this time

It's About Time

Rotten chance and lucky living
What you got is what you’re given
Revived one in a million
Filthy bags already dripping
Walking dead among the living
Survived into oblivion
It’s about time
to get the feeling right
It’s about time
to get it right
It’s about time
to get the feeling right
It’s about time
to get it right
Live it up don’t let it down, down
Live it up don’t let it down
Live it up don’t let it down, down
Live it up don’t let it down
Live it up don’t let it down, down
Live it up don’t let it down
Live it up don’t let it down, down
Live it up don’t let it down, down, down
Bucket list ice is chilling
No longer here among the living
Sublime above nothing
Legacies accelerating
Memories anticipating
Combines past, present, and futures
It’s about time
to get the feeling right
It’s about time
to get it right
It’s about time
to get the feeling right
It’s about time
to get it right
Live it up don’t let it down, down
Live it up don’t let it down
Live it up don’t let it down, down
Live it up don’t let it down
Live it up don’t let it down, down
Live it up don’t let it down
Live it up don’t let it down, down
Live it up don’t let it down, down, down
And it’s about time
And it’s about time
And it’s about time to let you go
And it’s about time, and it’s about time, and it’s about time
And it’s about time, and it’s about time, to let you go

Chris is the greatest living artist I have ever met IRL. I am lucky to have him as a friend too. He is conceptually thorough, authentically goofy, and a beautiful expressionist of sound, color, love.
