Think Fast 02:38
You might be put upon the spot And you won't have a second thought 'Cause you won't have a chance So be prepared for acting quick 'Cause no one ever can predict There'll be an avalanche And it's funny When you listen You're reacting Reflexes will kick in When you don't get a second take You can't just focus on mistakes Or else the ship will sink You've gotta hustle, keep it up You've gotta listen to your gut And trust your instincts And it's funny When you listen You're reacting Reflexes will kick in Think fast There isn't time for stress Think fast And never second guess Think fast You're gonna get this Think fast You've gotta trust your mind Think fast There isn't that much time Think fast Here comes the deadline And it's funny When you listen You're reacting Reflexes will kick in Think fast There isn't time for stress Think fast And never second guess Think fast You're gonna get this Think fast You've gotta trust your mind Think fast There isn't that much time Think fast Here comes the deadline Think fast

Sisyphus '21 03:02
I can still remember Oh, the days when I was king I was cool and clever Overcoming everything And had I known better I would have ditched the ring Caused mistakes and blunders All to rapturous applause And I never slumbered As I twice deceived the gods Never mind the numbers I don't wanna know the odds This boulder is real And I've gotta push it uphill My attempts are infinite now Watch it as it tumbles back down I was used to running When I landed on my face Guess you saw it coming Knowing that I'd fall from grace Power makes you hungry Once you've had a taste This boulder is real And I've gotta push it uphill My attempts are infinite now Watch it as it tumbles back down This boulder is real And I've gotta push it uphill My attempts are infinite now Watch it as it tumbles back down

Are you adding anything at all To the conversation? If you are then wait your turn You can still be patient And measure your words carefully There's a price for speaking out They can think that you're a fool When you shut your mouth Or you can speak up And remove all doubt You might the urge to blurt things out When your brain is leaking There's nothing wrong with thinking first And only maybe speaking And you could always plead the fifth If you wanna go that route They can think that you're a fool When you shut your mouth Or you can speak up And remove all doubt Silence is golden And it's time will spent Observe the room, and you can read it If you can take a hint They can think that you're a fool When you shut your mouth Or you can speak up And remove all doubt They can think that you're a fool When you shut your mouth Or you can speak up And remove any semblance of doubt

Don't Fix It 02:42
Don't call me I don't wanna talk to you I don't like you But that's unspoken The past is staying broken Don't fix it No, there's no point Don't question it Don't ask why There are times when you should let it die You should move on And so can I Don't fix it No, there's no point Don't fix it No, there's no point Stop talking There's nothing more for us to say I can't stand you But that's unspoken The past is staying broken Don't fix it No, there's no point Don't fix it No, there's no point Keep on knocking but I won't open up In my eyes and ears You've been dead for years We should not cross paths What I see you as Wasted space But that's unspoken The past is staying broken Don't fix it No, there's no point Don't fix it No, there's no point Don't fix it No But that's unspoken The past is staying broken Don't fix it No, there's no point No, there's no point Don't fix it No

So many sounds that I've experienced Even when I'm at my weariest Those artists I can't thank enough For the times I had to crank it up When you feel the joy, and feel the pain Sometimes it's all to keep me sane I'm not perfect, and I'm owning it And I know I'm not alone in this When the whole world's being rude And it left me in a sour mood But I know how I can come around Put some De La in to calm me down I bob my head and hope attacks And that's how I get my focus back Soon the negativity is gone Turn the power on Play the music that you want All your favorite songs Just turn the power on When I've needed to, the best escape Used to pop in a cassette tape And it did the job admirably Until I ran out of batteries We've got it easy now, truth be known Music history right in our phones If you can name the song, and look it up You can listen to it soon enough Not the way it was before I used to have to buy it at a record store Pick one, use good analysis Now it's option paralysis If I'm loving what they play now Throw some money at their PayPal Show some love when the feeling's strong Turn the power on Play the music that you want All your favorite songs Just turn the power on When things aren't looking good And everything is wrong Cue up the playlist I won't feel that way for long Turn the power on Play the music that you want All your favorite songs Just turn the power on Turn the power on Play the music that you want All your favorite songs Just turn the power on

25 More 03:38
Want it right the first time? I'm not who you should call It takes multiple tries But I get there eventually 'Cause it's trial and error Finding out what won't work Keep at it enough It becomes what it's meant to be So, don't be surprised If I fail a couple dozen times But the thought won't haunt me late at night If I eventually get it right There's more that I've gotta do But I can live with that You never know It could end up in failure But if Plan "A" doesn't work Then I've got twenty-five more to go Acknowledge your weak points Recognizing your strengths I've got persistence for days And sometimes that is just enough Thinking too much about it You could feel overwhelmed Take it step by step And one day you will finish up So, don't be surprised If I fail a couple dozen times But the thought won't haunt me late at night If I eventually get it right There's more that I've gotta do But I can live with that You never know It could end up in failure But if Plan "A" doesn't work Then I've got twenty-five more to go There's more that I've gotta do But I can live with that You never know It could end up in failure But if Plan "A" doesn't work Then I've got twenty-five more to go

No, I'm not great Why even ask? 'Cause there has been No second chance That's in the past It's a good thing it will not last So, make mistakes We'll be okay 'Cause from now on You'll have a say No further delay 'Cause I'm starting with yesterday Go back in time I've got it figured out I've got it in mind Reset, rewind Because you got to be kind No side effects And it won't hurt Leaving behind being a jerk It's gonna work And we're gonna rebuild this Earth Go back in time I've got it figured out I've got it in mind Reset, rewind Because you got to be kind Go back in time I've got it figured out I've got it in mind Reset, rewind Because you got to be kind

Dissociation I'm becoming aware I can't explain it But it's like I'm not there I swear I'm watching From afar, that's how it gets I'm not convinced That any of this exists So, face the truth But it might not set you free Sometimes the lies Are easier to believe It's difficult To figure out what to trust To tell the truth I don't remember that much Repulsed by things That seemed okay at the time Speaking out Using a voice that's not mine So, face the truth But it might not set you free Sometimes the lies Are easier to believe If that's what you need Take an assessment And there's always a catch Expectation and reality But they don't match And I comprehend it Yet, I don't understand I see my reflection But that's not who I am I'll be you for a while You can be me All I want in this life Is to feel free Take an assessment And there's always a catch Expectation and reality But they don't match And I comprehend it Yet, I don't understand I see my reflection But that's not who I am Take an assessment And there's always a catch Expectation and reality But they don't match And I comprehend it Yet, I don't understand I see my reflection But that's not who I am

As I understand it You feel a bit uneasy There's been a lot of that going 'round It's in the air I'm aware You need reassurance And I get that 'cause I've been there In case it helps to ease your mind Yeah, I still care I care If I need to break things down Sure, I can do that It's not difficult at all Because it's everything I love about you But why not? I'll list it off You know that I love your mind What do you think of that?

about

Glenn Case Spokane, Washington

I write music.

I listen to music.

I genuinely just love music.

I have a song available in "Rock Band" and that makes me smile.

Yeah, I'm the guy who did the soundtrack for "The New Adventures of Captain S".

I probably release too many albums, but I do attempt to find a good balance between quality and quantity.

Thank you.
