on Vacation

a draft of Hope
by me, Brows Jackson (aka Eyebrow Jackson)

Your smile is red from the wine 
You keep taking from the grime 
You keep making for a Kingdom 
built with tears, 
so I fear. 
When the castle is built 
and the blood that's been spilt 
drowns every heart 
I'll be clapping 
from below
as the ground 
crushes our bones; 
I'll be sighing 
from the dust.
Our lusters lost
we flake and we rust
from hearts of frost 
there is no trust.

Hope, from many dreams, that's what I've got. And that's what you'll find 
'cause that's what I got;
Hope.
It's my twist on your plot.

The game is sick 
and at best 
for winning 
you get to die well dressed 
and even winners 
are just losers if you don't have love. 
And it's pay to play
so don't delay, 
my hearse awaits 
on a ship 
reigned round-trip 
by the damned. 
You countermand
and I understand, please,
let's lay out our hands 
And before we quit, 
let's sit, 
my heart knows we can manage it. 
Relax your jaw
and look in my eyes 
There's anger here 
coupled with fear, 
let's be sincere, 
while we're both still here. 

Hope, from many dreams, that's what I've got. And that's what you'll find because that's what I've got: 
Hope.
And in case you forgot. 

Know me; 
get to know me. 
Take some time 
to find 
and unfold me. 
Lose your mind 
and look
and see 
what you see 
because what I see
looks a lot like

Two travelers brave the dark of time
Destiny's rays are bright
Tectonic plates are tumblin' forward
ushered on by fate to unite

When quick is as slow as a frozen fountain
and eons seem like love's just loungin'
But one day they propose
"Hey Babe, I just can't wait." And so they rose.
And that's the story of a mountain.

Grab yourself a cup
of that slow brewing love

Two clouds floating lost upon a sea
of interstellar fate
Molecular dust whirling just like 
propellers on an astronomical date

When near can't be felt by a beating heart
and love pines across a galactic backyard
But one day they propose
"Babe, I just can't wait." And so the dust grew close.
And that's the story of a star.

Grab yourself a cup
of that slow brewing love

Two souls slippin' through time and through space
like froth from fortune's drip
Chicory and cinnamon dreams
Steeping as they slid down

When the smolder of love has pervaded
And they've licked their lips as it percolated
But one day they propose.
"I just.. can't wait." So, they took their oaths.
That's the story of Teresa and David.
 
Grab yourself a cup
of that slow brewing love

Insider stuff:
Teresa & David knew each other for ten years prior to dating.
They liked each other early on.
-It was a slow brewing love (at least, that's what I think it was).

On a cool November evening less than two weeks before the wedding, I picked up the phone and got David and Teresa on speakerphone with me.
"I'm writing you a song for a wedding gift."
"Oh, wow, okay!"
"Yep, but I haven't spoken with either of you hardly in six years, so I'm calling to pepper you with questions so I can get some ideas."

This is that song.
-In it, you'll hear references to a few personal facts about Teresa and David.

They've known each other a long time.
At one point, David was living out in Maryland and courting and Teresa back in Texas.
So, distance plays a roll in the song.

Their favorite show is The Office (American version). 
This matters because David proposed to Teresa the way Jim proposes to Pam in The Office.
If you haven't seen it, when Pam sees Jim drop to one knee and pull something out of his pocket, she says, "What are you doing?"
He says, "I just... I can't wait."

Hence each verse contains a proposal.

On the night of their wedding, I played them their wedding gift and had no idea of their predilection for coffee.
-I looked them in the eyes before starting the song and said: 
"First, let me say, if either of you hate coffee, I'm terribly and deeply sorry for what I've written you."

Turns out they love coffee.

Bonus fact:
There are two sets of lyrics.

Your eyes feast upon the final lyrics.
Good for the song, butttt not so strong stand-alone.

This song's lyrics came first.
The other set of lyrics are solid stand-alone without music, but not with music.

Congratulations to Teresa and David! 
I love you both and am happier than a spring-bee at the botanical gardens about your union!

Infinite & Bottomless Love,
~Brows Jackson 2018

I know you like shoes in futuristic hues
But, see, I don’t know your size…
Your feet look like 7 or maybe 11
Or perhaps even a 9!

And your birthday is gone, haven’t known you too long,
But I just had to get you a present!
It could have a bong, but instead it's this song.
Cause the first seems less pleasant.

So, this one's for you, Shivi…

Your purdy, and…
You feel so grand… 
Who knows what they’d do without you..
At the luxury brand...

And at the end of every long, hard day…
I’m really glad you could call me and say…

That I’m your happy times buddy.
Your have-a-smoke-together buddy.
So, can I be your understudy...
to be a great buddy?

No need to be ambivalent
we’re each other’s female and male
equivalent

And though your cabby is where you get your scoop.
I know… you'll always be more than hoot!

And I’m your happy times buddy.  
Your skip and hop together buddy.
So, can I be your understudy...
to be a great buddy?

You don't take work-offs
And that's the perk of
trusting you,
You're not jerk off!

Can I be your understudy...

to be your happy times buddy.
Your have-a-smoke-together buddy.
So, can I be your understudy...
to be a great buddy?

😄Happy Times Buddy😄🎸
