Picking up the pieces of myself Putting down the pieces I've been carrying for everybody else There is no reason for the tides They make the waves that we all like to ride With no guide Will you be there by my side? Looking at the pieces that I hold Fragile as broken glass but weighing on me heavier than gold I heard a voice inside he said Enjoy the glisten but please listen this sin is in your head And you can change it all instead alchemy isn't dead What if I find a way What if I show today We're all part of something We're all part of something That’s bigger than this play And could explain it all away I've grown suspicious of the truth I'm superstitious that I’ll suffer all the things I can’t undo How can I possibly explain What I believed before the words all started running through my brain With all their meanings preordained and now the glass is stained. - - What if I find a way - What if I show today - What if I find a way - What if I show today - That we're all part of something - We're all part of something - That’s bigger than this play.

Maybe I'm crazy I feel it in my soul Maybe just maybe We’re something beautiful There was something like a ripple in the universe the day we met I was looking at the answer to a prayer I hadn't prayed just yet I remember hearing love songs sung just like a fairy tale Now you’re playing like a love song in my head I’ve been feeling like the person who was first to come across a fire Or stumble into psilocybin ayahuasca even something higher What a trip and dripping off the lips of heaven like a holy wine The salvation that I find inside of you Maybe I'm crazy I feel it in my soul Maybe just maybe We’re something beautiful I keep on chasing after everything cause everything is something that I've been seeking forever (and ever and ever) Knowing the past is a delusion and the future an illusion makes the present seem better (so much better) Maybe I'm crazy I feel it in my soul Maybe just maybe We’re something beautiful Maybe I’m crazy I might be crazy I think I’m crazy.

MAGICK 03:23
Was it something I said Something I didn’t say Is it all in my head a little game I like to play. Or is it something else something just like MAGICK Wouldn’t it be tragic if we never found out? I believe in a love Greater than you and I I believe it's been there forever will be there long after we die oh oh You can feel it inside feels so much like MAGICK Just reach out and grab it... we won't ever let go Let's go home Let's get stoned We can start a revolution of our own Let's go out Scream and shout Let's get loud about the shit we can't stay quiet about I know you’re feeling it too It isn’t merely coincidence And we know that it’s true that it’s new and we Feel that it’s real so it makes no sense Not to give it a name - so let’s just call it MAGICK I’m so glad we have it - time to let the world know I believe in a love - Greater than you and I I believe it's been there forever will be there long after we die oh oh - You can feel it inside feels so much like magick Just reach out and grab it we won't ever let go! Let's go home Let's get stoned We can start a revolution of our own Let's go out Scream and shout Let's be loud about the shit we can't stay quiet about.

Piece of Me 04:12
Whoeaoo.....whoeooooo I would never say you wasted my time But I didn’t spend my time well I wanted you to make yourself mine You had me under your spell I couldn’t get you outta my head And I wrestle with the meaning You put your body into my bed But you were busy dreaming Dreaming Dreaming You were busy dreaming Dreaming Dreaming oh ohhh And so I fight with the nights that I let you get the best of me And I hate that you got what you wanted and you cut me free Now I know I might never get to show you what the rest could be And thats alright I’ll make my peace, but you still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of I never put a limit on hope I didn’t want to let go You can cover up the mirrors and smoke Your illusion is a good show You think you got it figured all out And you’re only getting better Now I could show you what it's really about You’d rather read it in a letter so Dear darling, I write you And as you read tonight you know That I will be leaving But I won’t stop believing That we are just lovers Who never knew each other And I think it's time to change your mind And so I fight with the nights that I let you get the best of me And I hate that you got what you wanted and you cut me free Now I know I may never get to show you what the rest could be And that’s alright I’ll make my peace but you still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Yeahhhhh still got a piece of you You took my heart in the summertime Slow hands cool breeze a bottle of wine Sit down you said I sat and let you reminisce A couple of bottles later and you went in for a kiss Goddamn are you sure you wanna move this fast Thought damn take it slower we can make it last You said I’m thinking if you don’t mind I’m gonna set the pace I said it's fine you said shut up and take me to your place As couple of hours later looking for my keys A couple of seconds after that you all but had me on my knees Then I was opening the door before you threw me on the floor And then you said I like your bed now show me what it's for It took a minute or two until the neighbors blushed I think it’ll take another life to get me over this rush Can’t stop thinking what I gave and what you took for free Then you took off with a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of you And so I fight with the nights that I let you get the best of me And I hate that you got what you wanted and you cut me free And so I fight with the nights that I let you get the best of me And I hate that you took what you wanted and you cut me free Now I know I may never get to show you what the rest could be And that’s alright I’ll make my peace but you still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of me Still got a piece of you

Daybreak 05:12
There is a way that I see we can be and belong There is a song, for you, in my heart. I have the time to remember the ember and tend There is no end, in mind, for the fires we start So why should we try to hide the light... weary of the darkened sky No need to lie my darling and I... Have a plan if you’ll oblige We can hold onto this sight... until the day breaks through. I’ve got a promise to keep it is deep and it’s true As the ocean is blue that comes between you and me I’ll be reflecting the love you’re protecting inside I’ll never hide the truth and all that I see in you So why should we try to hide the light... weary of the darkened sky No need to lie my darling and I... Have a plan if you’ll oblige We can hold onto this sight... until the day breaks and Oh... you know the time is now Love is the only sacred vow.... And I’ll never break it tell me how... Could we ever fake it... just allow the truth and I’ll take it make it right Do we have to hide our light? Weary of the darkened sky No need to lie my lover and I have a plan that we could try We can hold on through the night until the day breaks through

Heavy 04:03
Heavy Does it feel that way to you? Heavy Are the consequences too Goddamned heavy To do What you need to do Anger Does it complicate your mind Anger Does it tear you up inside All this Anger In time Will destroy the light Tell me Can you feel it all Tell me Tell me when it hurts Tell me Can you feel it all Feeling nothing is so much worse Happy Is it all you hope to fee Happy Are you certain when it's real Oh so happy - And still It can change and it will Nervous You anticipate the change Nervous That the good will rearrange Always nervous It's strange Are excitement and anxiety the same? Freedom Does it mean to be alone Freedom Your decisions are your own Or is freedom - What we're shown In the space beyond the known? Tell me Can you feel it all Tell me Tell me when it hurts Tell me Can you feel it all Feeling nothing is so much worse.

Serpent 04:14
Sneak up on me In a city by the sea Serpent you'll be Muscles and teeth Let down your hair And I'll show you how I care Serpent you'll be All wrapped up in me Won't you come back with me I've got a room fitting for two I've got a heart full of dreams Life is a dream and this one is you Maybe it's me but this one is you Goddess in the garden Begging no one's pardon Eating from the tree With your belly so full and your body naked and free Save some for me Eve’n A dam’n fool can see Serpent you'll be Muscles and teeth Sink into me Help me to be Won't you come back with me I've got a room fitting for two I've got a heart full of dreams Life is a dream and this one is you Maybe it's me but this one is you This one is you This one is you for me.

about

Earthbound.Jovial.Queer. Musical. Bay Area. Loverboy. Music for misfits created by one. Celebrated vocalist of the year, 3 time battle of the band winner, multi-instrumentalist, and lifelong singer and songwriter, Franki has woven his penchant for poetry,presence, and passion into tales of love, home, and belonging. An exvangelist and koan-clouded bodhisattva, Franki delights in weaving queer fairytales and far Eastern philosophy through modern Western frameworks. All in an eclectic and surprising pop/rock container. His music invites listeners to catharize, sing along, dance, and be human animals. Transcendent pop/theatrical rock. Sounds like Elton John, Rufus Wainwright, 10CC, Harry Nilsson, and the butterscotch candies your grandmother kept in her pocket.

Franki Jupiter Berkeley, California

Franki Jupiter, celebrated vocalist of the year, 3-time Battle of the Band winner, multi-instrumentalist, and lifelong singer and song-writer is on a tightrope between the mythos of a Western Judeo-Christian upbringing (he is the son of a preacher man), and the oceanic oneness of Eastern philosophy (he is also the co-Founder of the Alan Watts Organization). ... more
