Candle Light

Songwriting Game 4.2.22. Prompt: "Velveeta"

No surprise, take a look around you
Time flies, but you're falling further behind
You can't do this alone
Please lend a hand to this poor fool
He's trying to play it cool
He's trying to play it cool

Your ghost appears
I'm brought to my knees
Though I know you're real
As Velveeta cheese

Hypnotized, spinning 'round in circles
Magnetized, drawing closer to you
So surprised, you dissipate so quickly
Are you a dream or are you real?
When's your big reveal?
When's your big reveal?

Your ghost appears
I'm brought to my knees
Though I know you're real 
As Velveeta cheese

You scare the living shit outta me
You scare the living shit outta me

Lyrics:

I know i'm not one thousand percent about all of this
but i don't really care
i just want something refreshing...

to feel my lungs expand again
to hear my breath exhale again

goddamn, living is unforgiving

Went Fine, Felt Smoother

Can I tell you all about a place that I know?
At the end of a trail, off a long, wooded road
You come out from the trees and the sky just explodes
And you can feel the sunshine from your hair to your toes 

There’s a sense of stillness and quietude there 
The wind blowing through the grass, the leaves, and your hair. 
And there’s a certain something that hangs in the air
That takes away your troubles, your fears, and your cares. 

So don’t despair. 
Every step you take will bring you closer
Just around the bend the noise is over 
And you’ll just be a note, 
In a masterpiece by earths greatest composer 

Sometimes when I’m feeling stressed I’ll go for a drive 
When I need a reminder of why I’m alive 
When everything is crashing down and I need to hide
I go there, and I breathe in, and I am revived. 

So don’t despair. 
Every step you take will bring you closer
Just around the bend the noise is over 
And you’ll just be a note, 
In a masterpiece of hope,
In a tapestry of oaks and ferns 
and microscopic things you’ve learned 
That were shouted out but never heard 
But now are clear without a word 
In a simple tune from rocks and dirt 
And bugs and butterflies and birds
And bears and brontosauruses 
And you
By earth’s greatest composer

Velveeta
