In Awe 02:31
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
2.
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

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

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
5.
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
