At What Cost

What is the cost of 25 dollars,
a job well done,
a lunch that is free
What is the cost of the debt for your phone,
apartment, house, tent, retirement home
What is the cost of your next meal
What is the cost of knowing when it will be
What is the cost of Saturday,
your wrist, back, or eyes,
What is the cost of the weight on your shoulders,
What is the cost of the prize
What is the cost to live in a bubble,
safety, comfort, status quo,
What is the cost of keeping distracted
What is the cost of change or of growth
What is the cost of a friend by your side,
the cost of a couch and a brand new tv,
What is the cost of a French oak barrel
and how much for the life of the tree
What is the cost of each word in this poem
and the spaces in be. tween
What is the cost of ditching the rhyme,
Will I lose you?
What is the cost of your teenage years,
how much for your hopes and your dreams,
What is the cost of having none?
What is the cost of fitting in,
having a following, feeling cool,
What is the cost of respect in your field,
the cost of a castle,
a kingdom to rule
What is the cost of taking advice,
or saying you're sorry,
What is the cost to know you were right
What is the cost of having been wrong
What is the cost of a total stranger,
an immigrant, a number,
lover, father, or son,
What is the cost of doing nothing at all
and the cost of all your have done
What is the cost of speaking your truth,
or the cost of keeping it in,
What is the cost of breaking a heart
and what is the cost of the heartbroken art
What is the cost of a handknit quilt,
the warmth of a mother,
of peace to your soul,
What is the cost to hold you close
and what is the cost to let go
What is the cost of giving a gift
and what is the cost to receive,
What is the cost of 25 dollars
What is the cost of you here with me?

It's not like it's really happening
Wait another day
it'll all just fade away
It's not like it's really happening
Just pictures on a screen
it don't really mean a thing
It's not like it's really happening
Nothing will be missed
if it don't really exist
It's not like it's really happening
You know it's all true
You just don't know what to do
And the headlights are growin brighter
Your knees go numb
Your mind it goes numb
And the headlights are are growing brighter
Gotta do something
You gotta do something
I read the news this morning
It's storming where it shouldn't
People saying things they shouldn't
Another shooting in the news this morning
People in the streets
On my phone, beneath my sheets
I read the news this morning
The end is growing near
The guilt and the fear
I read the news this morning
Count the ways your blessed
Just go out and do your best
And the headlights are growin brighter
Your knees go numb
And your mind it goes numb
And the headlights are growing brighter
You gotta do something
You gotta do something
And the headlights are growing brighter
Lightning in your eyes
You're blind you're hypnotized
And the headlights are growing brighter
Gotta get running
You gotta get running now

Alas, his debut solo EP is ready for release. Inspired by artists such as Steve Gunn, Guy Blakeslee, and William Tyler, his soothing guitar-driven music reflects a current common sentiment of seeking calmness within discord. ... more
