Happy Endings

Once upon a time a
Long long time ago
Lived a fair young maiden
Someone I used to know
But there is no happy ending It’s just a fantasy
Finding ways of knowing don’t make much sense to me
There is no happy ending
Is no holy grail
There is no incantation
Just a fairy tale
Once upon a time in
a land far far away
Lived a simple hero
With nothing more to say

Do it Again

I used to think that everyone had it figured out
Had found the hidden secret life was all about
Insider trades and parlor games, a language I don’t speak
I was a child, I realize I needed time to think
The time has come, stay for awhile.
The day is done, remember to smile.
Forget your problems, don’t live in the past.
Live in the moment, ‘cause it never lasts.
Liberty, futility, humility, community
Ability, civility, stability, tranquility
What’s in a word? It’s just a sign, a poor symbology
Woefully inadequate to say just what I mean
Convey, betray the way I feel, the truth I have inside
Try to translate, can’t betray it even if I tried
Giving up and giving out was never good enough
Even when the chips were down I never called your bluff
Giving up and giving out, what else can I do?
I’m a child, I realize that I believe in you.
I used to think that everyone knew the joke but me
I don’t get the punchline and life’s a comedy
Need to find a reason, need a new routing
Can’t survive the 9-to-5, I needed time to breathe.
The time is now, get outta bed.
Put your shoes on, get outta your head
Clean your room up, go for a walk.
Call your parents, just let ‘em talk.
Starting somewhere; where to begin?
Just start over, and do it again.
Do it again.

Scene Missing

I saw you in a photograph
Stuck inside the frame
I saw but I’ve forgotten
I forgot your name
Feels just like a movie
A film missing a scene
Edited, discarded
Absent on the screen
Scene missing - frame by frame
Reminiscing- day by day
Keep wishing (eyes on the screen)
Stop listening (missing the scene)
I saw you in a memory
Stuck inside my mind
I saw and I remember
Remembering that time
Feels like I’m mistaken
Feels like a bad dream
Unpleasantly awakened and
Taken sight unseen
(Chorus)

Town Square

Go back to sleep, please stay with me
Stay up all night, sleepless nights
Go back to work, please wait for me
Will you stay the night? Tonight is the night.
Going to town square, I’m not even there
Please come home tonight, Come home with me
Daily routine, never-ending
Over and over, and over again
Time for a change, make a better place
Living on my own, on my own terms

The Shadow of Time

Conservative? I’ve never given Admirable restraint
The shopping done, the beds are made, We don’t collaborate
The water’s boiling, dishes clean and Dinner’s on the way
Summertime and cheap red wine, Our marriage ends today
Time is running out. Never far behind
Look down at your feet. The Shadow of time
The dinner table places set, Restrictions are obeyed
The meal is unremarkable, A compromise is made
Nothing’s ever good enough And nothing’s ever done
I’m finished with the silent treatment, I’m over it, you won.
The sun. Shines. Bright. and gives. us. light.
The darkness is a crime. The shadow of time.
GIVE ME BACK MY LIFE YOU ARE NOT MY WIFE
GIVE ME BACK MY SOUL GIVE ME BACK CONTROL
I don’t understand you, it’s not clear
What’s the harm? It’s just another beer
I don’t understand you anymore
LOCK THE DOOR. LOCK THE DOOR.
I’m scared. I’m tired. My worst Desire
The witching hour’s drawing near, The day is over have no fear
The night is young, it’s not too late. Why can’t we communicate?
I’m scared. I’m tired. My worst desire
Why did you leave me? Cheat and deceive me?
Remnants are shattered. Bruised broken and battered
(The shadow of time)
Wishing you to be so near to me, Finding only my loneliness
Waiting for the sun to shine again, Finding that it's gone too far away
To die, To sleep. To sleep, to dream
(Maybe to dream)
THE SHADOW OF TIME

Lost and Found

Everything is overrated, dated and obscene
Everything is complicated, it doesn’t have to be
Nothing’s really permanent and nothing ever lasts
Planning for the future but I’m living in the past
Well I guess I’ll see you around, in exile all over town
Guess I’ll see you around. Am I lost, or just less found?
Finding out the hard way, Find me safe and sound
Consider me forgotten, spoiled rotten, Lost and found
Guess I’ll see you around. Am I lost or just less found?
Making missed connections, finding What you least expect
Treat yourselves with kindness, love and mutual respect
Well I Guess I’ll see you around Am I lost or just less found?
I guess I’ll see you around...
The vessel’s run aground - Ashore and homeward bound
Double-crossed and tossed in lost and found
Making broken promises and offering false hope
A false sense of security, whatever helps you cope
Guess I’ll see you around Am I lost or just less found?
Consider me an enemy, Consider me a friend
Consider me in loving kindness now until the end
Nobody is perfect; and No one always wins
Can we be created though if no one ever sins?
Anyone can justify a reason to believe
And everyone can find themselves a reason to leave
