As heard on Being Mary Jane (BET), Made (MTV), Cribs (MTV) .. 

VERSE
I’m still here but I’m mostly gone
I don’t know how much longer I’ll last
I feel pieces leave every day
I feel pieces slipping away

Slipping away to pieces, slipping away
Pieces of me, slipping away
More and more I’m slipping away

CHORUS
I remember things we did back when
I feel strength never come again
I think of places we’ll never go
Imagine things I’ll never get to know
I cling to the shadows of my old dreams
As they fade, more pieces slip away

VERSE
I was good back when I was whole
We rocked those unbroken days
But we got pieces no longer there
And I feel pieces turning away

Turning away from me, turning away
Pieces of you, turning away
More and more you’re turning away

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The days are taking too long
The nights are turning lonely
Tomorrow’s already gone
Sadness comes for me

VERSE
Love’s still here, but it’s like a ghost
I can’t touch it when I need it most
It’s all just memories today
Too many pieces slipped away

Slipped away already, slipping away
Pieces of us, slipping away
More and more we’re slipping away

CHORUS

Pieces (artist: Chris Bobrowski)

improvisation#1 2011

Death is everywhere. 
I could feel it today, under my skin, 
under my breath-my tongue, the devils kin. 

Death is everywhere. 
I could touch it this way, with a glance, 
steal it away, from one circumstance. 

---- 
Here we are, 
Our children say. 
Here we are, 
Won't you stay. 

Here me now, 
Another cries. 
Where we are, 
You once were, and must answer. 

----------- 

Death is everywhere 
I faced it here, faced it loud and clear, 
Wondering how I ever got back here 
From loving you. 

Death is everywhere, 
Our children say, and we reply. 
Do we stare into their eyes? 
Do we offer whos and whys? 

------ 

Here we are, 
Our children say. 
I faced them here, under the sun. 
And in return, It never rose.

Shadow on the Clock

What I Felt Today

It Had to be You

written by Gregg Mandel & Dean Taylor
produced and performed by Paul Otten

VERSE
Stumbling, searching for love in the night
Getting in deep, dark and lost, friendship so hard to find
Needing illumination for my line of sight
I happen on this glowing place and plug in to its light

CHORUS
Here’s where I shine, here’s where I shine
Hope flashing big and bright, thoughts energized
Heart beam lit far and wide, beautiful way up high
Everyone knows it’s mine, here’s where I shine

VERSE
Radiant happy daydreams come to life
I’m magically inhabiting visions from my mind
They get a transformation to reality
Like I’m vividly projected on a living movie screen
I’m a star to be seen

CHORUS
Here’s where I shine, here’s where I shine
Hope flashing big and bright, thoughts energized
Heart beam lit far and wide, beautiful way up high
Everyone knows it’s mine, here’s where I shine

BRIDGE
The people here electrify, they make me shine
Like a spotlight, like a neon sign
Like the sun and the fireflies, I shine, I shine
This is my place, this is my time

CHORUS
Here’s where I shine, here’s where I shine
Hope flashing big and bright, thoughts energized
Heart beam lit far and wide, beautiful way up high
Dazzling, it’s mine, here’s where I shine

CHORUS …
Here’s where I shine, here’s where I shine
Hope flashing big and bright, thoughts energized
Heart beam lit far and wide, beautiful way up high
Dazzling, it’s mine, here’s where I shine

verse 1
The grinding stone, does more than you could know,
it don't shape with, no jagged edge.
So smooth and fine, like velvet all the time,
that mold is continuous.

chorus
You never know, where life's gonna take ya.
You could find yourself alone.
It always feels like I'm........ back on the grinding stone.

verse 2
The game of life, just messes with your mind,
never giving you a break.
It grinds you down, tryin' to turn it all around.
But soon you learn, you can't cheat fate.

chorus
You never know, where life's gonna take ya.
You could find yourself alone
it always feels like I'm........ back on the grinding stone.

SOLO verse

chorus
You never know, where life's gonna take ya.
You could find yourself alone..... so alone!
It always feels like I'm....... back on the grinding stone.

Back on the grinding stone.
