No Letter

no letter ever better said so much
as the empty piece of paper that I opened up
crossing static quiet
folded over twice and silent
no lover undercover ever spoke
stories like that blank and barren canvas wrote
softer than a whisper
kiss it like a wish then miss her
with so many ways to say you’re done with me
you managed to say nothing at all
with so many ways to say we’re lost
you thought it best to say “there’s nothing left to say”

Breathe

me—it’s just the reflection
that I put into her eyes
staring back
I’m staring back in time
I know there was no other
no other one but me
staring back
I’m staring back
I’m listening close to the echoes we chased
far from the source of the sound that they made
the way she once wondered how long it would take
to refuse to embrace the decision of where I will
breathe or die
I know I’m going where I belong
breathe or die
I know I’m going where I belong
breathe the moments and mirrors
the places they send us to
we know the dreams never last
but their echoes keep bringing us back
and we’re waiting
we're waiting to
breathe or die
I know I’m going where I belong
breathe or die
I know I’m going where I belong
breathe or die
I hope you’re going where you belong
breathe or die
I hope you’re going where you belong
don’t you know you’re gone?
breathe or die
I know I’m going where I belong
breathe or die
I know I’m going where I belong
don’t you know you’re gone?

Only Lights

staying up to watch the sun or try to find a reason
to keep my eyes wide open like I’m waiting for sign
I see the sky ain’t breaking
now I know
now I know that you’re never coming back
now I know
now I know I can never go back
yes, I know
yes, I know I can never look back
I can never look back
till you’re away from me
away from me
only lights are lost when you’re away from me
away from me
only lights are lost
I’m staying up to watch the sun and try to find a reason
to keep my eyes wide open ‘cause I’m looking for sign
I see the sky is breaking
and there’s a part of me that knows that it’ll open up
and still another hopes that worse was waiting somewhere
past the sound of us not giving up
just forcing us until we both were lost
I know what others know
I was young once
there was time to grow
empty bottles cast to sea
are coming home with words
and melodies in keys
I’ve only dreamed I heard before
staying up to watch the sun or try to find a reason
to keep my eyes wide open like I’m waiting for a sign
I see the sky ain’t breaking
now I know
now I know that you’re never coming
now I know
now I know I can never go back
yes, I know
yes, I know I can never look back
I can never look back
till you’re away from me
away from me
only lights are lost
when you’re away from me
away from me
only lights are lost
empty bottles cast to sea
are coming home with words
and melodies in keys
I’ve only dreamed I heard before
I know what others know
I was young once
there was time to grow
empty bottles cast to sea
are coming home with words
and melodies in keys
I’ve only dreamed I heard before

This is my brother (and artistic director) Jim's solo EP under his 23rd Boy moniker. Check it out. "In That Order" is a personal favorite.

When I release music that doesn't fit under the electronic rock umbrella of Maybe Bomb, I do so as John Penola.
