In Awe

Something took over and my world shut down
I can’t believe it’s over right now
I don’t want to say it
No way no how
I’m in awe
Of all the little things you completely do
I wouldn’t bet it comes so naturally for you
Everything was okay
I was giving my all
I’m in awe
BREAK
Life has its own way
Of breaking you down
It includes the lonely moments
It wreaks of the wow
No matter what you do now
No way no how
I’m in awe
BREAK
I don’t want to say it
No way no how
I’m in awe
I am completely in awe

He never became
Who he said he would
But, he often surmised
Of a plan to do so
A plan that would stand the test of time
But none was good enough
As he was largely “unable”
So, the whole world sucks
And the ocean’s are full of crap
And climate change is a hoax
There’s politics in the middle of everyone’s hope
He doesn’t see a brighter day
For the fact is
He is not well mentally
And, neither is the world at large
He knows it
He is not alone
But, shit does suck
Not just for him
But for everyone
He doesn’t want anyone’s sympathy
He just wants peace
Peace for himself “mentally”
And peace for the masses
So, the whole world sucks
And the ocean’s are full of crap
And climate change is a hoax
There’s politics in the middle of everyone’s hope
He doesn’t see a brighter day
For the fact is
He is not well mentally
BREAK
I mean, if you can, you do
If you could, you would
But, if you can’t
There’s millions of people standing in the way
In the future, people will regain their compassion
The kind they used to have
Before the politicians took over the planet
And made into the mess it is today
So, the whole world sucks
And the ocean’s are full of crap
And climate change is a hoax
There’s politics in the middle of everyone’s hope
He doesn’t see a brighter day
For the fact is
He is not well mentally

A Legend In His Own Mind
02:54

When he stepped up to the podium
He was all but prepared
He said goodbye to his fears
And began with this message
There is no brighter day
He said goodbye to his tears
There is no better love
You can’t make this shit up
He said goodbye to the years
How can we manage our fears?
With a stab at routine
Let’s move on with our lives
I am just here to say
That most of us just need more rest
He said goodbye to his fears
And whether you believe me or not
Or follow what I’ve got to say
He said goodbye to his tears
You know, I’m a vessel of light?
Shining now to give you love
He said goodbye to the years
I am only here, as are you
For a short time, he cried
Let’s move on with our lives

Songwriter In Hell

He wanted to keep a lid on it
As he read and reread the lyrics
And he wasn’t satisfied with how he felt
He knew it was just a matter of time
Before he writes another song
Today, tomorrow, next week
He was hooked
On the feeling of sharing intimate details with his listeners
It came out in social media
His mental health was everywhere
He shared and he shared
Until one day he said, “enough is enough”
The day came sooner than he had expected
And he understood
That not everything had to be told
From this perspective
Because what he thought in a nutshell
Was pathological to him
But, maybe not to someone else
It was silly to even consider this line of thinking
Because he didn’t always know what was real and what was imaginary
What was real was his breaks from reality
What was real was the limitations his meds put on him
What was real was the fact that he can’t have a good day
Two days in a row
BREAK
This songwriter was living in hell
But, that was okay
Because that’s the way it was for many
And he had been to hell many times before
And he would go there, if there were such a place
Before it was all said and done again
All in all
The message he sends
Is to do your best in everything
Even if it means you’re doing it alone
Because at the end of the day
You’re not
You’re far from alone
It just takes someone to recognize themselves in you
Or vice-versa
And that’s exactly what he thought

Far be it from me
To promote such zany thoughts
As a war between nations that ought to be fought
Because right now, there’s no war like that
And, hopefully there won’t be
The war to end all wars
Might as well not even start
We have enough bullshit to sift through
With the wars already under way
You have a friend in me
A friend you have indeed
There is no other way
Than to share your world in a helpful way
BREAK
There is no being on the wrong side of war
Or is there?
At least there’s freedom in knowing some did the right thing
So, when we think about the wars being fought
Just remember it wasn’t anyone’s fault
But, a greedy bunch of leaders
You have a friend in me
A friend you have indeed
There is no other way
Than to share your world in a helpful way
