Sometimes

woah
Sometimes
Sometimes feel like crying
Sometimes
Sometimes feel like I’m dying
I feel like I’m dying
Am I?
Rewind
Rewind till I’m flying
Remind
Remind me it’s worth surviving
Remind me why I’m striving
Talk me through this till I’m thriving
Can I?
Why don’t you put your arms around me
Why don't you wrap your arms around me
Cause you know that I’ve been trying
And I’m thinking about
Woah
No don't you put your arms around me
No don’t you wrap your arms around me
Even though I have been trying
I’m still thinking about sometimes

Whisk Me Away
03:24
|

Come whisk me away
Come whisk me away
I was lost
Till I found you
So whisk me away
I’ll whisk you away
I was gone
Now I’m here
I’m here
Ladida
Come whisk me away
You were lonesome
I was lonesome too
without you
Twist me turn me churn me
Twist me turn me churn me and let’s go
Ladida

Or You're Not
03:24
|

I met a stranger for coffee
He’s got a child he don’t see
Said Daddy it’s alright
Let’s call it for tonight
He just sighed and said goodbye to me
Met her at a bus stop
Wearing everything she owns
She came by my place just to shower
Said the van she’s living in isn’t so grim
Helping her is just beyond my power
I don’t want to cry about my momma no more
Sick of wasting life asking what it’s all for
Either you’re the one I was made to adore
Or you’re not
Or you’re not
I walked in when everything was falling
Said don’t you worry baby lean on me
We’ll make a new plan
He said I’m my own man
Finally we set each other free
I don’t want to cry about my momma no more
Sick of wasting life asking what it’s all for
Either you’re the one I was made to adore
Or you’re not
Or you’re not
Boohoo I’m not gonna cry
Boohoo Still I’m not getting why
Youuu just left me behind
You all just left me behind

Scattered Dust
02:48
|
|||
It’s raining now just over me but I can see blue skies
wash me down so I can lie clean under the sun
swelling hum drowning out
the next door neighbor’s fight
over the trash I smell the grass drinking in and breathing out
Why
You nestle in don’t have to ask I read it in your eyes
black suit’s still on the ground from last week’s farewell
scattered dust big buffet left untouched
heavy silence permeates the faucet’s run dry
from why
just let go
just let go
easy as that say preacher man you’re hanging on too tight
no time would have been enough we missed so much
and now we’re left with Why

I'll Never Fall Apart
04:01
|
|||
I won’t fall apart I promise you
You let me carry your load
Oh I can bear it
Darling I swear it
I’ll never fall apart
I’ll keep moving
Don’t you worry
Oh I’ll keep on grooving
Oh I’ll never fall
I’ll never fall apart
Noo
No I’ll never slip no
Not even when I dip low
I’ll never fall
Fall apart
Over you
No sir you can put me on the ropes
And you can dash all my hope dear
But I’ll never fall
Fall for you again
and I’ll I’ll
I’ll never fall apart
Even after you break my heart
No I’ll I’ll never fall
I’ll never fall apart
(scat)
No I’ll never fall apart dear
Yes cause I’m too strong to play
Such a pathetic part dear
I’ll never fall
You’ll never ever see me crawl
No I’ll never fall
I’ll never fall apart
No I’ll never fall
I’ll never fall apart

Losing Touch
03:58
|

I’m losing touch with reality
It’s just too much for me today
I’m losing ground
The soil's washing away
I float unbound its laws can’t tether me
I drift way down can’t tell whether we
Are lost or being found
I stroke making waves
I watch the ripples take shape
Ropes and sails
My lifeboat won’t fail me
When the tide drags me
No, no fear
I’m nearly complete
Yes, it’s clear
No way I’ll retreat
I hear my heart pounding
Anxieties bounding
I take my escape
And
I’m losing grips with solidity
It all just slips through my fingers
I get lost in my fantasies
But your kiss still lingers
I’m constructing out of dust
Fanciful dream worlds built on trust
Screws and nails
My hardhat won’t fail me
When it all falls
No, no fear
I’m nearly complete
Yes, it’s clear
No way I’ll retreat
I hear my heart pounding
Anxieties bounding
I take my escape
And
I recede breathing heavily
For relief I sing and play
I release immersed in melody
And for a moment I’m okay

Signs
03:46
|
|||
signs appear in my sky
I stride to catch the light
time warps its own line
sublime astrological signs
Ahhh
inside electric bolts
hide mitochondrial cults
jolts Frankenstein back to life
adults grab your children and hide
Ahhh
combine laws of physics and rhyme
divine secret patterns of Pi
align fractal slivers of rime
still life undermines paradigm
Ahhh

Upside Down
02:55
|
|||
I am upside down
To you my smile may look like a frown
Cause I am turned around
Only my split ends are touching the ground
Don’t you worry about me
I’m just hanging from a tree
All the stranger angles tangle all the input in my eye sockets
Pictures turn to puzzle pieces falling from my open pockets
Moving in reverse
Bizarre rebirth emerging from a hearse
Seems I’m growing young
Germinating back to the spring from which I sprung
Don’t you worry about me
This the way it has to be
Time spattering like spin art as the planet wobbles counterclockwise
Strapped inside the whirling teacups grip, hiccup, hurl closing my eyes
I am inside out
My squishy organs are hanging all about
Though I have been inverted
My sense of self is preserved not perverted
Don’t you worry about me
I won’t be tumbled out to sea
Though the tidal waves are rushing crushing salty sprays are keeping sweeping
Sinews propel paddle so I won’t be made part of the reaping!
Don’t you worry
Don’t you worry
