The CD turns over in my hands
On the backside, I see my reflection
His lips read the same words,
“You can’t be different, you can’t escape me,”
It’s not logical to deem
Where the grass is green
When the scene is out of view
My reflection tries to climb
Barricades and confines
Not because it likes to
Self-aware
Reflections stare
And lips read different words,
“You’ll never be the same.
Forever fail trying to imitate.”
Keep spinning like a CD
Try to keep from turning green
Like a tree in full bloom
Planned attempts to try and climb
Barricades and confines
Because I want to

God is an expletive
I'm keeping it indoors
I wish I could get caught up in
Something I could explore
Stillness won't let me go
If you don't let me know, I'll start choking
Everywhere I look
You've already been
Drained from the bottom
Through the cracks in the ceiling
I am perspiration
There was water in the basement

And I Was Scared

Stuck sitting and waiting
Pretty soon, it’ll all be out of stock
I was told, “If nothing is sold,
All the fruit will start to rot,”
The apple didn’t fall far,
But kept rolling
I kept pulling down
My sleeves
I thought I’d freeze
Under the shade of the tree
It was with me all along
In my palm
Nothing ever went wrong
And I was scared
‘Cause in a crowd
I thought I’d get lost
The real world is hard to face
Hard to take
I can’t fake
My way forever
I used to keep track of my height
And the sizes of my shoes
Feet following footsteps
My big brother knew what to do
Holding until my hands are sore
Granted, I’ve taken things for
Trophy shelves
When the dust settled down
It was too hard to ignore
It was with me all along
In my palm
Nothing ever went wrong
And I was scared
‘Cause in a crowd
I thought I’d get lost
The real world is hard to face
Hard to take
I can’t fake
My way forever
It was with me all along
Now it’s gone
And everything went wrong
But I’m alive
I’m still here
Stand up or submit to
Everything there is to fear

Let me think of a metaphor
For not letting go
Mouth sewn shut, tied to a pole
Eyes pecked out, a swinging scarecrow
It’s a long wait
So many people in line
To travel far away
And never look behind again
Travel far away
And never look behind again
Or see some things that should’ve never been seen
Travel far away
And make friends with all the shapes
Of the shadows that follow you around
It’s a heavy weight to carry all night long
And if it falls, it’ll break the ground
Maybe one day my fingers will not be chewed to the bone
And maybe then it will be easier
To put down the phone

Sentient Moss Wall Township, New Jersey
Sentient Moss is an alternative rock band from Wall, NJ. The quartet manages to blend jagged, odd-timed instrumental passages with catchy, anthemic choruses that come together to create a distinctive sound that refuses to commit to a singular genre.
