Be Better
03:01
|

Questions I should have asked
Be better
I used to talk so much trash
Be better
Never watching my words
Be better
I spoke, but I never heard
Be better
But, I've begun to understand
I can be better than I am
So, that's the new plan
Be better
'Cause I know that things can
Be better
There's room for improvement
Ditch excuses, get it right
See what you've been doing
And be better in life
Right
There's a rut, I've been stuck
Be better
I said it was good enough
Be better
I've been lazy, and rude
Be better
With no intent to improve
Be better
But, I've begun to understand
I can be better than I am
So, that's the new plan
Be better
'Cause I know that things can
Be better
There's room for improvement
Ditch excuses, get it right
See what you've been doing
And be better in life

In the Summer
03:03
|

I used to love the summer
I had 3 months off
To do whatever I want
With heat's increasing numbers
I'll stay in one spot
And that's all that I've got
These days
I stay inside
'Cause outside I'll fry 'til I die
Enduring those world record highs
In the summer
Maybe I should have known it
As we all grow up
Things get more and more tough
I stepped out for a moment
With the air I felt
I think I'm gonna melt
These days
I stay inside
'Cause outside I'll fry 'til I die
Trying our best to survive
In the summer
I'm thankful for air conditioning
I'm thankful for ice cream
But when things get worse
They're gonna be way more extreme
That's a thing
These days
I stay inside
'Cause outside I'll fry 'til I die
Attempting to get on with our lives
In the summer

Dream for Forever
03:02
|
|||
I've been told
That I shoot for the stars
I'm awake and alive
So, I say "Why not?"
Because there's no guarantee of tomorrow
But don't let that get in your way
Dream for forever
Live for today
Like it'll be okay
Take things on
One step at a time
That's the kind of advice
I can get behind
Because there's no guarantee of tomorrow
But don't let that get in your way
Dream for forever
Live for today
Like it'll be okay
Because there's no guarantee of tomorrow
But don't let that get in your way
Dream for forever
Live for today
Like it'll be okay

I used to want to live forever
Afraid of what comes next
Could be something better
Or maybe something much worse
Or nothing at all
And no matter how hard you search
There's no answer undisputed, and definitive
The tools we have to understand it all are limited
Some believe they have the one and only truth
Lots of belief, but no proof
So what can I say that I know for sure?
I feel like I exist in this world
But admittedly, that's my perception
Even that could be called into question
And where does that leave me?
In the dark for the most part, but not completely
We can take a few educated guesses
Regarding what life is, and what death is
Let's assume that I'm here for real
I live, breathe, perceive, and I feel
And at some point that ends
Already happened to some family and friends
Whether or not this has meaning
As of right now I'm still breathing
There's a lot I can do, I want to get it done
So when the end comes
I want to die
Happy
Not soon
But eventually
I want to die
Happy
Not soon
But eventually
My father-in-law, he just passed
And my wife took it so hard
It just happened so fast
Man, existing as a memory
My mind just can't grasp
I've decided I'm surviving
'Til the sun, it goes gas
How hard could it be to exist?
Life be like it is, what it is, I've got kids
I've got plans to see them walk across the stage
And down an aisle
If I'm going out, I'm going out in style
Postcard from the heat death of the universe
Say that we had a good run
Suppose it could be worse
I don't think that humans gonna get the last laugh
Do we even ever fly our flags past half-mast?
And I've been dodging viruses, and violence
To use just like a montage
Full of politicians vile tricks
I'm not fooled
When somebody run up and call me brother
I'm not really feeling like
We're really out to help each other
So, I'm gonna have to do me, and mine
Tell the grimmy reaper
He can call me back another time
I've got family that tell me
All the time that they need me
To be honest, I'm kinda loving that feeling
I highly recommend it
Gonna have to lock it down, and maintain
Get my mind, and body better
So I must train
Have you look in wonder at the man I became
Player one wish to continue, I'm game
I want to die
Happy
Not soon
But eventually
I want to die
Happy
Not soon
But eventually
I want to die
Happy
Not soon
But eventually
I want to die
Happy
Not soon
But eventually

What If?
03:03
|
|||
A moment is here
Then it goes away
And decisions we make
Every single day
As often as I can
I strive, and try to get it right
On thing I've learned
It didn't take too long
On the first attempt
I'm probably gonna get it wrong
But when they've tallied up the count
I hope it evens out
But what if
There's no quick, and easy fix?
No reward without some risk
In a world that won't exist
I'm overwhelmed by "What if?"
The gamble is there
You can lose control
Betting all of your chips
On what you think you know
But I prefer to keep my cool
A slow, and steady hand
'Cause if you understand
Then there's no excuse
Gotta go into it
Knowing you might lose
And it won't matter if
You have the best constructed plan
You're gonna play your part
So, play it well because you can
But what if
There's no quick, and easy fix?
No reward without some risk
In a world that won't exist
I'm overwhelmed by "What if?"

There's things I've done right
I could have been better
I hope I live long
It won't be forever
And the ending has been spoiled
We'll shuffle off this mortal coil
And the people who love us will miss us
But that isnt't the end of me
'Cause the stories we tell will outlive us
We can live through the memories
When I die
I hope you'll miss me
When I die
I hope you still remember me
So, what can be done?
It can't be avoided
For now I'm alive
I'm gonna enjoy it
There's an ending to this path
But I'll try not to dwell on that
And the people who love us will miss us
But that isnt't the end of me
'Cause the stories we tell will outlive us
We can live through the memories
When I die
I hope you'll miss me
When I die
I hope you still remember me
Someday, I don't know where or when
I'm moving on
But if I'm in your heart, and head
Then I'm not gone
And the people who love us will miss us
But that isnt't the end of me
'Cause the stories we tell will outlive us
We can live through the memories
When I die
I hope you'll miss me
When I die
I hope you still remember me
And the people who love us will miss us
But that isnt't the end of me
'Cause the stories they tell will outlive us
We can live through the memories
When I die
I hope you'll miss me
When I die
I hope you still remember me

Greater Than
04:05
|
|||
I'm half-dead
It's a mood
When just waking up
Isn't easy to do
Still the day
Might improve
Giving myself little things
I can look forward to
I dream big
'Til I'm laughing
But most often
It goes south
'Cause most dreams
Never happen
But then sometimes
It works out
And the dream
Is the best
When it seems out of reach
But it's not too far fetched
Try it out
Be my guest
And I'll wish you good luck
Hope you have some success
I dream big
'Til I'm laughing
But most often
It goes south
'Cause most dreams
Never happen
But then sometimes
It works out
It's a stretch
But never
Isn't always
What it means
Never let
Your memories
Be greater
Than your dreams
It's a stretch
But never
Isn't always
What it means
Never let
Your memories
Be greater
Than your dreams

Overcast
03:58
|
|||
You can ask me
But I won't have an answer you like
You'll ask more questions
And you'll never be satisfied
'Cause there's no comfort in my words
To apply to your life
Best I can tell you
It seems that in some shape or form
We are here
And it's never, ever gonna be clear
It appears
So, I won't spend my time at mercy of fear
When it comes to the topic
I'd prefer if I wasn't involved
They won't rest 'til the mystery's solved
Well, I don't know
But I'll find out
Either that, or I'm not gonna care
Those are the facts
And I thought you might ask
It's just beyond our grasp
The sky is overcast
You can cling to the past
But it never will ask
It's just beyond our grasp
The sky is overcast
Some are certain
And they're pretty sure
They've figured it out
And there's no room within their hearts
Left for questions, or doubt
And their actions rarely match
To the words from their mouth
If it's working
Then that's great if it can bring you some peace
If you're not harming anyone
Then believe what you will
But don't you waste my time
Explaining what's real
When it comes to the topic
I'd prefer if I wasn't involved
They won't rest 'til the mystery's solved
Well, I don't know
But I'll find out
Either that, or I'm not gonna care
Those are the facts
And I thought you might ask
It's just beyond our grasp
The sky is overcast
You can cling to the past
But it never will ask
It's just beyond our grasp
The sky is overcast

You give your best
Yeah, you try
And you're stressed
So am I
It's in your head
And your heart
You can make plans
But plans fall apart
So, we accept the things we cannot change
Take control of the things that we can
So, then what do we do
With ourselves to get through?
Laugh when we can
That is clear
And enjoy life
While it's here
There's a beginning, and the middle
Then the end
If we could just find a way
To take things day by day we'd be fine
But even I know that's way oversimplified
I'm optimistic this can improve
But there's no guarantee
I hope today brings you
Peace, tranquility, and harmony
As we proceed on our paths
Sure, we can learn
From the past
The future looks bright
Let it shine
Live in the now
'Cause it's time
Yeah, they call it the present
But it's something you can't buy
You can try
There are tough parts
We will cross
There will be heartache
There will be loss
Saying goodbye
Yeah, it's tough
That's the price
When you love
But it's still worthwhile, by far
When you add it up
If we could just find a way
To take things day by day we'd be fine
But even I know that's way oversimplified
I'm optimistic this can improve
But there's no guarantee
I hope today brings you
Peace, tranquility, and harmony
If we could just find a way
To take things day by day we'd be fine
But even I know that's way oversimplified
I'm optimistic this can improve
But there's no guarantee
I hope today brings you
Peace, tranquility, and harmony

If I Had One
02:56
|

Things have changed
Time has passed
Ultimately
I'm good with that
This would be
The perfect time for an excuse
If I had one
You know me
A solid reason still could be produced
If I had one
But I have none
I have lived
Highs and lows
When it's time
I can go
This would be
The perfect time for an excuse
If I had one
You know me
A solid reason still could be produced
If I had one
But I have none
I've been working on
A couple things
For the joy it brings
And if I finish those
It would be preferred
If you're sure
And, so when
You've been sent
You will get
No argument
This would be
The perfect time for an excuse
If I had one
You know me
A solid reason still could be produced
If I had one
But I have none
This would be
The perfect time for an excuse
If I had one
You know me
A solid reason still could be produced
If I had one
But I have none

Look Good in Black
02:33
|
|||
There are jobs I tried to do before
No unusual plan
I wore red, and khakis for my uniform
But it wasn't my jam
I tried working with the public
But it left me feeling tired
And I fear that I've got one gift
Plus I got the right attire
I've got some experience
Wouldn't say it was fun
And I don't really want the job
But it's gotta be done
I've got no references
I've been working on that
I can carry a scythe, 'though
And I look good in black
And it's something that I've thought about
People seem to die around me
I never sought it out
I would say the calling found me
I've got some experience
Wouldn't say it was fun
And I don't really want the job
But it's gotta be done
I've got no references
I've been working on that
I can carry a scythe, 'though
And I look good in black
I've got no references
I've been working on that
I can carry a scythe, 'though
And I look good in black

Season Finale
03:31
|
|||
It's best to prepare
For the worst, you know
'Cause nobody knows
If they'll be written off the show
It's up in the air
There's intense events
And we don't know if we'll be back again
So, let's keep them in suspense
The season finale
A cliffhanger by the time we adjourn
So, cheer us on loudly
Just in case we don't return
We've gone on a while
So, stop watching if you must
We're jumping the shark
To keep it ambiguous
It's up in the air
There's intense events
And we don't know if we'll be back again
So, let's keep them in suspense
The season finale
A cliffhanger by the time we adjourn
So, cheer us on loudly
Just in case we don't return
We got rave reviews
But nobody watched
Still, I think we produced
A good show they could stumble across
The season finale
A cliffhanger by the time we adjourn
So, cheer us on loudly
Just in case we don't return
The season finale
A cliffhanger by the time we adjourn
So, cheer us on loudly
Just in case we don't return

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.
