here now reason enough for us sing out

yet i still question the message that i can't see

i've seen terrible things come from caffeine
i've seen the dopest of all the fiends
i can't understand but i've got plans
and i've got plans

it's true i only want you
what's more you love me too
like most, finding ourselves in these cycles
tearing for anything tangible
so desperate to feel, not well 
and questioning the places we've been 
wondering where we'll end up in the end
believing that we all pretend
but i can't pretend

that i've made amends
and everyday repeats
these silly thoughts
and next year i'll curse myself for loss
but i've seen loss. and weakness. and woe disguised as pride
i've called it fake, and selfish 

and i believed in 
miracles while
you believed in rhymes

i know it's hard on you
to bare this burden too
it's a sad sad way  

to think about the world which we live 
to not see that like you we all were once kids 
to not believe that all this is 

just a big bright light
just a chance to learn what we can 
maybe to leave with a little less pain
maybe we could learn to dance 

and all the while
i've got plans







(I've Got) plans

From the start, I feel a world apart. From all of the memories and all of the things we were taught. 
There will be change, when life gets re-arranged. There's a balance we'll find when we realize nothing remains. 
We'll try to settle down. Well the world looks so different already since you're not around. It still spins round. 

We slowly rise, as we travel through the skies. And I almost bailed, I was scared, in my head terrified. 
But a wiser mind than mine, told me I would be fine. Words reassured me the place that I needed to find. 
And i've gotta say goodbye, to a person, a place, an idea that i cannot define. 

We won't watch fear control our lives today, we embrace these times, we know wrong from right. And nothing can change. To hell with what they say. I refuse to believe that there's only one truly right way. 

I'm tired of this carousel, get me off this ride, let me control my mind. And don't let me hate. Cause i don't know how much more. I can try cause I'm tired, i'm weak, and quite frankly I'm bored. 

Take me as I am, one quarter of a man, a few gallons shy of full, a fucked up fool. If only i could talk to you about all my crazy thoughts. If only you could truly see the real me, you'd see. 

We won't watch fear control our lives today, we embrace these times, we know wrong from right. And nothing can change. To hell with what they say. I refuse to believe that there's only one truly right way. 

I'm tired of this carousel, get me off this ride, let me control my mind. And don't let me hate. Cause i don't know how much more. I can try cause I'm tired, i'm weak, and quite frankly I'm bored. 

And this i say to you. I'll promise one day soon. That I'll try, that i'll change, i'll improve but I'm not sure that's true. I say to you. 

a wiser mind than mine

Start from end, let's pretend everything's making sense.
Day by day, pushed away, I remain on this fence. 
Give it time.

Ones I see, I could be easily in this place.
Holding weak to my sense of me and reality. 

I could lie and say it's gonna get better.
Caught somewhere between sleep and awake. 
And still I can't talk to you, 
I'm ill from what we've been through. 
My mind races, brand new faces. 
Again, the words you say to me, 
"Give it time." 

Move those feet, slow to speak, this is in your control. 
At the least I've learned to reap what I have sown. 

I lie wide awake and pray it gets better. 
That I could take this all and sleep it away. 
I could lie and say it's gonna get better. 
But we're caught somewhere between sleep and awake. 

But still that light's shinning through, 
A hole that a pin could fill. 


Give It Time

Life's a problem, life's a play of lots of constant, lots of changing, love. 
We were out there all the time, singing "Simple Rhymes."
We're all pawns in a game that we ruthlessly play. 
I don't mind thinking it all cause it's opened me up. 

Rip a page from this old book, read it out loud, make it good. 
Yea it's changing all the time, drinking water from wine. 
We were taught, and we thought, that we'd end up on top. 

I can't help thinking that life's just a game. 
Over and over and over we play 
I've been it all but I ain't ever been dead. 

We've been young, we've been old
We've reckless and bold
We've been part of a world
We have been cared for and so

Screw down your head, make it tight
Cause nothing's so wrong that you can't right

So now, this is my opus. 
I'm feeling better, i'm feeling fine. 

I can't help thinking that life's just a game. 
Over and over and over we play. 
I've played it all, but I ain't gonna play dead. 



Nothing's So Wrong That You Can't Right

Just one short week ago we watched you go, 
We said our last goodbyes. 
And planned for giving thanks in future days, 
But now you're almost gone. 

I mean when I say I'm thankful for the days,
Little moments we can save. 
So happy to see you smile for 2 weeks, 
What's there left to say?

One more trip to take around the lake,
To see where it has gone. 
It once stood oh so high, you can see the line, 
The world is keeping time. 

We can use it to see the vastness of the sea, 
Inconsequential you and me. 
And the waves that appear and drown our minds in fear, 
If you step back they go away. 

I can see you today in a boat upon the bay, trying to catch a little sleep. 
The one who appears, you loved her 60 years, 
That's the catch you keep. 

Well we can hold on to the past, even while knowing it won't last. 

Or we can be here now today, we can appreciate the way the ones before us made it possible for all this love to grow, and it grows.
