TIME TO RE-BRAND?

I think the answer speaks for itself...

SEACREST CULTURE

I thought this was my life
Turns out I was all wrong
I'm sick of being sold a lie
Fuck that "I wanna be a billionaire" song
Sometimes I wonder what is real
Without a healthy Earth to live on
I don't wanna care how many "Likes"
I don't want a thousand-dollar bottle at the club
I don't want to elevate money over love
I don't want to hold beliefs of past millenia
I don't want to waste my time with corporate media
The world keeps trying to tell me who it thinks I should be
Part of the Ryan Seacrest Culture
And people try to sell me on the virtue of greed
And to cast aside all my sensibilities

IT MUST BE COOL TO BE IN LOVE

I can't recall when I've last been the object of
A woman's affection; it must be cool to be in love.

You wake up in her thoughts and she cares how you feel,
You can't stop smiling; life feels like a dream, but it's real.

And all I have, I'd give away,
If just for one small second I could experience love.

CONVOLUTED

Don't tell me not to fall in love with you;
Now I'm scared, sad, and confused...
I know you're not cuddling with me tonight, no
Instead, you're taking shots with better-looking dudes
Of course you've got more important things to do than me;
I'm just trying to be myself
But physically, you match perfectly with my dream girl,
And I just so happen to be shallow as hell

And it seems like everyone else but me is in love
And I see birds flying wing-by-wing
I wonder, "When will that be me?"

I'm drunk and watching other couples kissing - so in love
And little gestures they trade back and forth:
It's like an unspoken, affectionate game of 'tag-you're-it';
While always leaving the other wanting more, and more, and more, and more, and more
And so the dance floor becomes my second home now -
A place where your history is of no concern
And I'm pretty sure she's for me when the thought is all I need,
Thus, confirming love and sex can converge, and we merge

And it seems like everyone else but me is in love
And I see birds flying wing-by-wing
I wonder, "When, if ever, will that be me?"

With the progress of plastic surgery,
My odds increase exponentially
Plus, chicks my own age aren't even really that into me,
Let alone, my stupid covoluted personality.

MAIDEN SAMBA

She's inches from me,
Holding a drink,
Looking coy and lovely.
Am I too shy to say "Hi, I'm Bry,"
"Are you from nearby?"
"What kind of music do you like?"

Overwhelmed by lust and I lose focus.
Floating down a stream of thoughts and I can't swim.
My imagination gives you fake personality traits --
I make up your name, your life story, your age, your ideal guy,
Blissfully living a lie.

It's about this time I realize
With anything I choose to do or not - it splits the world in two.
In one world, I speak. In one I bitch out.
I switch out of this human form, new dimensions I explore.

The universe is so vast that there must be another Earth,
With other humans on it, another me, another you at the bar
The experience of love seems to be the point of this little world we all share
So why don't we just embrace what we are?

There are trillions of stars,
And the world will just keep on spinning long after we're both gone...
I may as well move on...
On second thought, hell why not,

"Hey, what's up"

SOMEONE TO BRING MEANING

Perfect sunny day here in LA,
80 degrees, blue skies, birds are chirping,
But I'm still here waiting...
Waiting for a girl to bring meaning to my...

I go for a stroll through my hometown,
A light breeze blowing, kids are playing around
But I'm still here waiting...
Waiting for someone to bring meaning to my life.

It's so obvious that I am wasting my life waiting for you to choose me,
And all my dreams of who I'd like to be can be created through you liking me.

All my friends and my family,
Oh, how they love me so, but I just don't see,
For I'm still here waiting,
Waiting for someone to bring meaning to my life.
