Most of my life has been performed upon a stage,
And every time an actor leaves they're quick to be replaced,
So all the understudies start assuming former names,
But overall it stays the same,

I hope that you will be the coda in my life,
A melody to sing that will return from time to time,
And even if I strain my voice on notes that are too high,
At least I gave it a try

I won't forget you, if your names cut from your face and glued
Over some new eyes, I know that it sounds kind of lonely but
Everything's going to be fine

I truly doubt we'll find the answer in a man,
Or reason from a choir up in heaven keeping tabs,
Cause even angels have to be confused by how we act,
You just keep coming back

There is a groove for every person that you've met,
Each track is on repeat and now and then a song will skip,
You'll try and move the needle to some new relationship,
But it won't sound that different,

I won't forget you, if your names cut from your face and glued
Over some new eyes, I know that it sounds kind of lonely but
Everything's going to be fine

I won't forget you, if your names cut from your face and glued
Over some new eyes, I know that it sounds kind of lonely but
I won't forget you, If your names cut from your face and glued
Over some new eyes, I know that it sounds kind of lonely but
Unfortunately, that's life.
This is not my own work. It was created by a musical artist I consider extremely talented.

Are we who we thought we'd make it out to see?
Is this the crossing grounds?
That I've heard so much sound about?

Will we choose and never choose again?
Or will we loose and forever loose the chance?

Life seems so bleak laid out before us
constructed and deconstructed through a system that is,
Our legacy.

But whose to say,
What will come of us?

Direction, Direction, Direction.
But whose to say,
We need one...
Are you where you ought to be?

Because to me, its plain to see.

You're shorter than the stick you walk with.
I’m not stuck in the past
I’m holding onto the future
That I might not ever have
Except the dreams I can’t escape
From
Mid day is rough
Mid week is quite tough
Mid month I’m too drunk
And mid year
Is too much
But I’m hopeful at the least
Watching my good intentions drown.
Hold still I won’t be much longer,
Hold on, changing definitions for a changing state

Carry on carry me if you can
To the next dream
Keep it clean
Life never matches what we mean

Hold still I won’t be much longer,
Hold on, changing definitions for a changing state

I will not no no nooo
Absolutely never, fit your frame
Can it be that I’m the lonely one?
I just need something to lean on!

I guess I’m quite happy!

Hold still I won’t be much longer,
Hold on, how can this be I’m not angry

Carry on carry me if you can
To the next dream
Keep it mean
Maybe less distorted.

Hold still I won’t be much longer
Hold on, how can this be I’m not angry

I guess I’m quite happy!
You said to me:
                           "If I'm going to be alive
                            I might as well be incredible
                            I want to do more than just exist."

I couldn't say what I wanted to, so I wrote you a riddle that I'll never show and you'll never see:

I was born innocent and strong heart-ed
I grew up with a firm footing and quick grasp
I lived with determination and loved my love with pure certainty

Soon I imagine, my acclaimed wisdom will be passed along
As if that has any significance
And then after
I'll be dead.
It's finally over your draggin this out
This four leaf clover is burning without a
Doubt
Don't you worry there's no need to
Hurry
We can collect the ashes soon

*This Storm is the norm
I hope the sun shines through
Cause maybe maybe

It's finally over your draggin this out
This four leaf clover is burning without a
Doubt
Don't you worry there's no need to
Hurry
Your lucks already (run) out

And about this tomb it's ghost
Haunts these motion pictures that I
See the most
But these silly superstitions are a
Slave to the fame

Don't O don't don't wake me up
Tonight
All these midnight runs consist of
Cheap beer and wasted breath from (on)
cigarettes

And about this time I found
Such a profound phrase
Life is love we live we need it

Life is love we live we need it
Don't be so ashamed, why are you
Afraid
Of

{return to *}

Life is love we live we need it
Life is love we live we need it
Its such a grace, to hear three words
And to say it

It's finally over, your draggin this out
This four leaf clover is burning without a
Doubt
Don't you worry

These city lights confine the sky
And as I try not to die I wonder if
These Stars can breath and carry me
Hand in Hand

And as I try not to die I'll remember why
These places amongst all these faces
Seem to fade in a day but at night O at night
These places and these faces are never to far but never much nearer
To hear her say
I just walked away so who's to say
That infamy is the same as fame

Its all just a **** game
And my shame only lasts until the same is felt and dealt
And as I try not to die I'll take the time
To find a reason to comply

These city lights confine the sky and
As I try not to die
I wonder if these stars can breath and
Carry me above these dreams,

I find it hard to believe these lies we lead,
Whats this and that and how intricate it all appears to me (to be)
So close yet so distant we all seem to
Be at least to me,
And as i try not to die I'll,
I'll remember why

These places amongst all these faces stop and fade away with the days
But at night O I sleep wide awake and
Anticipate when the day might break

And shatter through my mind,
But all these lies
Rewind me back to my first miss

And as I try not to die,
I'm inclined to try and wish that you
Wouldn't make a fist...
this is actually the first vocal part I ever wrote and I'm hopelessly enthralled with it so much that even the dreams I have of musical instrumentation for this piece aren't good enough! :(
The bottom line is.

You crossed all of the lines I drew.

There is no malice towards you.

I know people well enough to know better than to wait for an apology.

But I am my word, so...

I hope you can find me before your missiles do.

That's up to you.

I won't budge

If I am to be destroyed by you,

At my least and best I stayed true.
Yesterday I gave up music, because music gives me dreams and dreams don't let me sleep.
I got this constant reminder of the headache of waking up without a drink when I pack up for the day and head on my way.

And you all know that I probably wouldn't want it this way.
That is to say I never really wanted anything or maybe I wanted everything.

I’d like to fool myself into thinking that's the curse of great minds and spirits.
Those with attributes greater than they would ever find a need for.

But I prefer to maintain perspective on what’s suspected of me.
So everything becomes an elegant lie.
Even when it’s the truth.
Simply because it was born of deceit.

So is that its fate, can it not change, can I, not change.
Not that I’m asking,
I’d just like to know that when I lock a door I don't swallow the key.

Because I see myself as every ones lover and friend even when I have every twitching impulse against them.
It’s strange for me to meet myself half way between apathy and empathy for everything and nothing at you.

But because I’m told I can only truly enrich and deepen my soul infinitely and eternally with one.
Your lips are the canvas of which I must create my masterpiece of love and anything else.

Because that is the only way they will accept it.
