Hi Everybody!!! Figured I might as well introduce myself with a couple of the songs I've written recently...
Helpless
Flailing, reaching, stonedrop from the sky
Levitation cancellation from an emotional high
This time was different, a time for change
But a sensation of falling, to times not strange
Back in the coal mines, back in the pit
World’s dose made reality, your heart in a fit
I can see you slowly sinking
Swallowed in a flower bed
The expression of your face is striking
Pure, innocent bliss
I wish I knew how to be more than a friend
Reach into your soul, you’re heart I’d mend
I feel so helpless, a witness to yet
Another tale of woe and regret
Time machine travel, go ahead 50 years,
Do you wish I hadn’t given into my fears?
I can see you slowly sinking
Swallowed in a flower bed
The expression of your face is striking
Pure, innocent bliss
Face to face we stare
As the color drains away
Return to old TV soaps
And the same old rain soaked days.
52
Pick a card, rape the deck
Shuffle it back, risk your neck
King of hearts, two of spades
Playing catch with a hand grenade.
CHORUS:
The choices we make
We don’t think, we don’t think
Situations we create
We don’t think, we don’t think
How’s our hand, looks all right
Three aces short and none in sight
We just don’t know, just can’t say
How our cards today will lay
Close Call
Steady, time
Moves along
Seven years since you’ve
Thought beyond yourself
All of a sudden your life
Makes a change
Faced with danger your priorities
Flee, flooded down the drain
CHORUS:
You know there’s trouble brewing
When the elevators falling and you’re dying soon
A prayer seems like a good idea
When you’re faced with sudden inescapable doom
No way, thank you, later
Call it stupid, I guess it’s possible
Headache
Permeates
Doctor says you’re kinda lucky
To be alive
Close calls with death take
Your breath away
All of a sudden it becomes clear
How you jumped into the fray
(CHORUS)
You’re not waiting (3x)
Not sticking around
He’s still waiting (3x)
Waiting here for you
(repeat)
(CHORUS)
Thoughts?
