1.	Happenings 01:37	lyrics	buy track
What people go through Is not a joke or an ad for Costco The tough things people experience Are not planned for nor are they sought out In this oh, so crazy world BREAK I guess I can say goodbye To all those things that never added up To all those situations that didn’t make sense To those moments of disgrace BREAK I can accept myself, in and out, up and down I can be the one who turns this life around Accept that it isn’t that easy And, I’m not that sleazy Nor do I have a death wish BREAK Life is indeed what’s been made of it Not what I make of it all the time But, what others have contributed to it My life is where all the happenings take place
2.	Matt And The Muse 01:12	lyrics	buy track
My name is Matt and I have a muse My muse is internal, stares at me And, gets me in the mood There’s nothing greater Than my imaginary muse The muse is here and there But, is always on fire When I see her stare She looks into the great unknown And, delivers me a promise And, I can’t let go Of all the things she has to say to me There is nothing better Than a muse who inspires you And, gets you in the mood SOLO My muse, she’s a firecracker And, without her I’d be bare I’d have to figure something out With regards to words and music There’s nothing greater than her Thank you, muse, for all that you do I appreciate you Thank you Thank you Thank you
3.	A Cathartic Moment 01:48	lyrics	buy track
The things we get used to Are the things that bring us down At least mentally, as I don’t know About physically… so much, yet The stuff we work on Makes us better equipped To handle what’s going on Not sure, but I’ll bet There’s some correlation to all of it What I think of makes me sick But, am I sick or am I just full of it? I don’t know either way Some days I just get tired The stuff we work on Makes us better equipped To handle what’s going on Not sure, but I’ll bet There’s some correlation to all of it SOLO The stuff we work on Makes us better equipped To handle what’s going on Not sure, but I’ll bet There’s some correlation to all of it I’m doing good though, actually The words you’re reading and hearing from me Are a cathartic moment or three Of me saying things I just have to say The stuff we work on Makes us better equipped To handle what’s going on Not sure, but I’ll bet There’s some correlation to all of it
4.	Connection 02:01	lyrics	buy track
Have you ever felt all alone? That’s not something I like to think about But, it is something I do sometimes feel Alone, barely making it Connection Where would I be without it? Connection There’s freedom in sharing There’s no doubt about it When I get depressed I’m often better than I know And, I’m affecting that sweet spot Of all the people that I know Connection Where would I be without it? Connection There’s freedom in sharing There’s no doubt about it SOLO Sometimes I grow big, tall, and strong Sometimes I’m about The minimalist sounds Isn’t that what it’s all about? Connection Where would I be without it? Connection There’s freedom in sharing There’s no doubt about it Connection Where would I be without it? Connection There’s freedom in sharing There’s no doubt about it
5.	I Don’t Want To Be ‘Normal’ 02:01	lyrics	buy track
I’ve lost myself In a sea of waking dreams I’ve gone to the dark side Of everything I know I don’t want to be “normal” But, I want to grow If that’s what it takes For me to let go I don’t want to be “normal” But, I want to grow If that’s what it takes For me to let go Can’t you see that I’m Just gonna go? I hope you don’t mind If it’s just you and me, you know? SOLO I want to break free From the madness that I know I wanted to say goodbye To all the somber, happy whims I don’t want to be “normal” But, I want to grow If that’s what it takes For me to let go I don’t want to be “normal” But, I want to grow If that’s what it takes For me to let go
6.	Inspiration And Permanence 02:13	lyrics	buy track
Here I am Right on schedule Writing my days away Hoping for another level Because the same old Is making me think I’ve got to mix things up a bit Or risk the stink There’s nothing much better Than working from the start of things Getting words with meaning out And, hoping not to mess up Of course, how can I do that? How do I wrestle and win? When the words that mean so much to me I will often choose Where the inspiration goes Is a funny place Inside the heart and mind Nothing much better than Saying goodbye To a life devoid of meaning Purpose and contentment To develop a plan of action Something a bit more permanent SOLO Where inspiration goes Is a funny place Inside the heart and mind Nothing much better than Saying goodbye To a life devoid of meaning Purpose and contentment To develop a plan of action Something a bit more permanent
7.	Peace And Quiet 01:25	lyrics	buy track
Peace and quiet Where do I find it? Is there an opportunity close by? Peace and quiet I always seem to try for it To find the key, which is often found within Peace and quiet I’ve got to have it And, my search has been in vein SOLO Peace and quiet The sum total of all my life’s experiences Have been found in peace and quiet Peace and quiet There isn’t much to say about it Except that peace and quiet are where it’s at Peace and quiet My first and last commitment of the day Rest in all I have to say about peace and quiet
8.	The Path To Insight 02:30	lyrics	buy track
Just the other day I was bored and gray Tired of all the things You said But, then I awoke With an epiphany Of things Both alive and dead The path to insight A road less traveled A chance to cure My ails The path to insight An esteemed opportunity To make ourselves Avail I didn’t know What the cure was Except to say It wasn’t greed Surely there was a chance To gain control of things To wrestle again with life The path to insight A road less traveled A chance to cure My ails The path to insight An esteemed opportunity To make ourselves Avail SOLO Just recently I awoke And, found myself again I was made whole By own devices This time It wasn’t much of an epiphany Insomuch as it was a long hard Cry The path to insight A road less traveled A chance to cure My ails The path to insight An esteemed opportunity To make ourselves Avail
9.	Almost Persuaded 02:16	lyrics	buy track
There was a moment in time When I looked all around This heart of mine To see what I’d find And, in this moment I lacked All the things to be said For this lyrical jam I was almost persuaded To say the right thing To do the right thing In love I was almost persuaded To be the best man To do what I can In love Several people Took me to task On this holiday bash I was trying to last There was no Reason for me To believe in the things That got me to pass I was almost persuaded To say the right thing To do the right thing In love I was almost persuaded To be the best man To do what I can In love Chorus I was almost persuaded To say the right thing To do the right thing In love I was almost persuaded To be the best man To do what I can In love
10.	Change (Just Another Word) 02:01	lyrics	buy track
Yesterday, I was disturbed And today, I’m no nonsense And, believe it or not I’m still making promises To myself and myself alone About conquering this Songwriting thing for example Challenging myself again and again Change Not my favorite word As I’ve completely gone Inward Change Just another word For being a bonafied Coward SOLO Change Not my favorite word As I’ve completely gone Inward Change Just another word For being a bonafied Coward What I do like is To make a plan To come up with a strategy And, put it in the can I enjoy spending time alone To the point where I have no choice Things often get so out of alignment That I have to face them Change Not my favorite word As I’ve completely gone Inward Change Just another word For being a bonafied Coward
11.	For Lives Left Unheard 03:13	lyrics	buy track
I challenged myself today I wrote down some lyrics And, I made a change To my production template All in all things are great Noting my progress And, the path to take Moving forward There is truth Truth in my words Things left unspoken For lives left unheard Truth that is so powerful Gleaming and raw That I have to share it Naturally, in a song Sometimes I just write For the sake of writing And, other times I write Because the muse is upon me Nevertheless When I’m at my best There’s a spark of desire To be put to the test SOLO There is truth Truth in my words Things left unspoken For lives left unheard Truth that is so powerful Gleaming and raw That I have to share it Naturally, in a song Yesterday, I thought I would sit this one out Tired of the repetition The uninspired and the drought But, something took over The word flow began Pouring right out of me The muse was back again There is truth Truth in my words Things left unspoken For lives left unheard Truth that is so powerful Gleaming and raw That I have to share it Naturally, in a song There is truth Truth in my words Things left unspoken For lives left unheard Truth that is so powerful Gleaming and raw That I have to share it Naturally, in a song
12.	All Of These Extremes 03:41	lyrics	buy track
I have everything I could ever need Except my health I have things That don’t pertain to Anything worth a damn The material goods And fast foods And, all the things I’m dealing in Are sitting there Much like me Laying in a rot Talk to me Before it’s too late A plea, a cry From my love Talk to me And, make me believe That life is much Better than it seems For I have a feeling That if I just Tried a little harder I could fix all of these extremes Talk to me My love My wonderful partner I want out of this SOLO Talk to me Before it’s too late A plea, a cry From my love Talk to me And, make me believe That life is much Better than it seems For I have a feeling That if I just Tried a little harder I could fix all of these extremes Talk to me My love My wonderful partner I want out of this
