Don't Wish Your Life Away!

Tal Vez Mañana - Elz0( 2020 Version acoustic live)

The Tortoise And The Hare

1st draft of some decent pavement worship w/ instrumental chorus 

playground eyes your crimson smiles
i'm living with denial I’ve sold the truth
in porcelain pristine prom queen 
guise-less smiles and clumsy miles

gifted foresight tragic termite 
pressed upon your boots 
heartless wreckage, goddess scented
cannot tell the truth 

placemat heart our stunted start 
gaze raised to the stars you look right through
me missing, mistress listen 
silent starts and missing parts 

days in Autumn, Springtime’s daughter
warm rains sound aloof 
harmless feelings pleasant dreaming 
cannot tell the truth

playground (1st draft)

lyrics:
there's a drought in the desert
nothing left to burn 
while you're out there 
waiting for your luck to turn 

got a pocket full of quarters 
gonna pay to play
they all like you better 
cause you never stay

wait wait
 till we stop spinning
count it on winning, here

in the heat, a mirage 
covers up the sky
and you fall to your knees
and you don't know why

wait for the fire
make me a liar
make me a liar, here

and there's apple pie
on the 4th of July
down to the desert where they made you lie
toxic elastic wrap your face in plastic 

out on road 
huffing dust and fumes
lost in your head cause 
there's too much room

in the hollow refrain 
of a bitter bet
can't explain 
and you won't forget

and you take take 
what they owe you
ask if they know you, here

down to the water 
that you never drink
stare in the sun 
till it makes you blink

breathe under water
 just like you taught her

who'd you find in California
were they everything you needed 
did they smile like they want you
do you wait until they bleed
yeah, who'd you find in California
was she everything you need
does it matter if they want you 
do you like it when they bleed

and there's apple pie
on the 4th of July
down to the desert where they made you lie
toxic elastic wrap your face in plastic 

so you get what you want 
is it what you need
they will follow you 
down any way you lead

in a circle and back again
what you've done and will not defend

where will they find you  
how they try to remind you
how they remind you here

all out of matches 
got a bridge to burn
beg for another 
cause you never learn

wait for the fire
make me a liar
make me a liar here
all wait...

apple pie fourth of July 
down to the desert where they made you lie
you are toxic elastic wrap your face in 
plastic...

wait for the fire
make me liar
make me a liar, here

and there's apple pie fourth of July 
down to the desert where they made you lie

you are toxic elastic wrap your face in 
plastic 
shave it off, sell it out

fade away
