Lyrics
I haven't cooked in ages, I eat my meals cold
this bachelor life is getting old
and you don't deserve me sniffing around
we ended things clean, let's not dig up old ground
I've got a problem of needing too much
and you're too nice to stay out of touch

I don't want to hurt you any more
so maybe I'm better off ignored

They say a falling blade has no handle and I'm spinning down
I'm out of control, so don't catch me now
I've got no reason to be afraid
but you should take caution and keep away

I've got laundry I think I'll skip
wrinkled clothes don't bother me one bit
I think you've noticed that I'm not myself
lights have gone out and you're trying to help
you've been so kind, I think you should know
keep your distance, or maybe just go

I don't want to hurt you any more
so maybe I'm better off ignored

They say a falling blade has no handle and I'm spinning down
I'm out of control, so don't catch me now
I've got no reason to be afraid
but you should take caution and keep away

You can watch, but please stay clear
I'm spiraling out of control I fear
spinning and tumbling, steel's kiss draws blood
don't reach out for the sake of old love

They say a falling blade has no handle and I'm spinning down
I'm out of control, so don't catch me now
I've got no reason to be afraid
but you should take caution and keep away

Song #12 from the Song a Week challenge 2022 (theme: rain)

Lyrics:

Only Raining 

They say buses come in threes,  
But tonight it feels like more,
Got to batten down the hatches,
To weather the storm,
And it feels like this world of ours,
Is just one big free for all.

They tell me it’s only raining,
And I know it’s only raining,
But even if it’s only raining,
Sometimes when it rains it pours,
Sometimes when it rains it pours.   
 
Pour myself a whiskey,
Smoke another cigarette,
I’m so sick and tired,
But I don’t want to go to bed,
Cos when I do, I’ll hear that broken record,
Going round and round in my head.

Don’t tell me it’s only raining,
I know it’s only raining,
But even if it’s only raining,
Sometimes when it rains it pours,
Sometimes when it rains it pours.


Everything happens for a reason,
Part of the plan.
So count your blessings and be thankful,
For what you have.
Try to see the funny side,
You have to laugh.
Nothing in this life is permanent,
This too shall pass.

They say buses come in threes,  
But tonight it feels like many more,
Got to batten down those hatches,
To weather the storm,
And it feels like this world of ours,
Is just one big free for all.

Don’t tell me it’s only raining,
I know it’s only raining,
But even if it’s only raining,
Sometimes when it rains it pours,
Sometimes when it rains it pours.

Only Raining

Song 12 in this years Song A Week series

I'm staying with some old friends I think they really wish you'd came
We tell the same old jokes But its not really the same
Somewhere in the spaces the silence is a weight
I feel it every hour every day I'm away

New York tonight then Philly and Jersey stops
Trying to keep my speed down and avoiding the cops
Leaving early in the morning don't have much time to lose
Sunrise will be something to see but its nothing compared to you

I'll go when I have to and I might have some fun
But know I'll be missing you like the day misses the sun

I've played a lot of games up and down this coast
Lose more than I win feel I lose more than most
But I'm reaching out for something and I swear I'll grab it soon
Whatever I get I'll know deep down its nothing compared to you

I'll go when I have to may seem I'm always on the run
But know I'll be missing you like the day misses the sun

Wore the tread off my tires I wore the soles off my shoes
Chasing after dreams that led me back home to you
Wore a smile on my face like I'm crazy as a loon
The world might be something to see but its nothing compared to you

I'll go when I have to but when I'm done
Know I'll be loving you like the day loves the sun

2022 SAW

Like The Day Misses The Sun

Everything in moderation
Even moderation
Sometimes it’s not both sides
Sometimes it’s cut and dry
Sometimes it’s black and white
Yeah, I’m talking to you
You skittish little fence sitters
Damn right I’m salty as asphalt in winter
At least my ass ain’t full of splinters
At least I don’t just bitch on twitter
You think the center’s always right
Well now it’s right of center
That was no accident
I’d know, cause I’m a fender bender

Save your hate
For the powers that deserve it
And the people who preserve it
And the systems they create
Save your hate
Save your hate

Everything in modulation
~~eVeN mODulaTiOn~~
A butterfly’s wings flap twice and the ice caps capsize
Rose grows and jack dies
Wielding riot shields to deal with the early reflections
Launching tear gas condenser mics like less lethal weapons
Pay the price to keep the peace
ACAB includes the tone police
I know it Stings 
That every breath you take 
Is by the grace of the surveillance state
So don’t let your hate go to waste

Save your hate
For the powers that deserve it
And the people who preserve it
And the systems they create
Save your hate
Save your hate

Ignorance is bliss
Til ignorance meets fists
And the softest of the sophists flinch with my hit-or-miss
Avatar a roman statue, don’t @ you, man, you wish
Any respectable perfectionist would’ve rejected this 
And left it rotting on some hard drive
But I’m less toe-dip and more swan dive
And the water’s dark and dirty
This could be the shallow end
But I haven’t hit my head yet
Or my word count
And I haven’t penned my best verse 
i'm too burned out
I got too lit
You were the ashtray
I smoked the cigarette at both ends almost every day
God damn the USA

M O D

forget about your credit score
forget about the next world war
forget the kids born in skid row
forget the bomb that’s bout to blow

dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia
muscles seize up
senses freeze up
anesthesia
never ease up

forget about the lions den
forget about the mayans’ end
forget the password and reset it
forget that you meant to forget it

dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia
muscles seize up
senses freeze up
anesthesia
never ease up

forget about the boys in blue
forget about the poisoned view
forget the feeling something’s wrong
forget the dark forget the dawn

dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia
muscles seize up
senses freeze up
anesthesia
never ease up

DAMNESIA

LYRICS

Come with me
For evil is stirring

It's begun
As the prophets foretold

Where the darkness will spread
So the light must demur

Come with me
And save our souls


No thanks
I'll pass
I don't even know your name, and you look kinda sus

No thanks
Not me
If I'm looking for adventure I just watch TV

No thanks
Wrong guy
I don't know just who you're looking for,
But it isn't I

No thanks
Please leave
I just met you and your tale's a little hard to believe

So no thanks
No thanks
No thanks
No thanks

Be warned,
For our journey is long

In the flames
We will make our stand

But fear not death
Nor whate'er lies beyond

And take
My hand

If a Salamanca's asking me to carry his bail
If the King of the Britons wants to look for the grail
If half the universe's life is going to die
If my midi-chlorian count is unusually high

If a really evil ring needs some melting down
If a trio of witches say that I deserve the crown
Even if my sister's getting picked for the games
You already heard my answer and it'll always be the same:

No thanks
I'm good
Why don't you back your asses out my neighbourhood

No thanks
Don't care
I'm happy in my little cupboard under the stairs

No thanks
Goodbye
There's a hotline you should call if you so eager to die

No thanks
Tough luck
You can go on by yourself, like I give a

No Thanks
