I know a place 
Where the wine flows like rivers
And women send shivers 
As they whisper in their glass
Here we'll play hopscotch 
On the rocks and we'll make it
A double-dutch game 
‘Til we fall in the grass

And we'll die
Of laughter
But our tears will form paths
To the forever after
And we'll dance
To the music
That no one else can hear
Just the wind
It’s amusing.

I know a place where the lovers are loved
And when push comes to shove
You’ll fall in like the rest
Here we will slip on our tongues like a slide
Watered down with the liquor 
We pretend does the trick and

We’ll drown
In sorrow
And ironic smiles
Wont last ‘til tomorrow
And we'll lean
On eachother
As we stroll down the street
We're together
Just another

[CHORUS]
Illusion of happiness
But what does it mean to us
Show me what I need to see
Describe the scene to me
Prescribe the pills I need
To make it make sense to me
Tell me who you want to be
She says "I love you, Believe me"
Believe me.

I know a place 
Where the tattooed are scarred 
By the names they inscribed one drunken night
Here we etch the promises 
Broken like skin ‘neath the needle
The ink too blurred to read

So we'll bleed 
The lies out
And the truths will consume us
With guilt, regret and doubt
And we'll give up
We'll give in
To what we don't believe
Lie to ourselves
Just another 

[CHORUS]

We lie about the way that we feel
We cry to keep the truth concealed
You're hoping none of this is real
I can't believe I've been revealed
I know a place I lost my face
Accept asylum's warm embrace
I hope by now that you will see
I hope you believe...

Illusions of happiness
But what does it mean to us
Show me what I need to see
Describe the scene to me
Prescribe the pills I need
To make it make sense to me
Tell me who you want to be
I swear that I love you, Believe me
Believe me.

Believe me

AI-Generated with Original Lyrics:

Singing in the shower
Singing on the drive home from your place 
Just singing
To no one in particular 
Just me
And the echoes of a person I once knew.
I’m rediscovering 
An old familiar person
Who’s always strangely present 
In pictures and mirrored images

I am not good enough
As good as I used to be
But somehow lately I’ve 
Been feeling like the stranger 
I once knew
And lost along the way
I’m back to good

Laughing for no reason
And smiling more than I recall I did
Just laughing
No reason in particular
Just happy
I’m wide awake and ready for this change
In the demeanor of the mirror
Ive reflected, found the truth is in my face

And I am not good enough
As good as I used to be
But somehow lately I’ve 
Been feeling like the stranger 
I once knew
And lost along the way
I’m back to good

I’m back to good.

Back to Good

AI-Generated with Original Lyrics:

Have I done enough to make you hate me yet?
Been trying all week to get under your skin
See what makes you think, what makes you sweat
You think it’s bad now well I’ve yet to begin

(Strap yourself in!)

I’ve felt this way for way too long
That its way too good to be true
I know that’s something’s gonna give
(And) There’s nothing you or I can do

I need to push you away, 
before we get too close 
Before love’s judgement day
What will come of it when it goes to shit
And then there’s nothing left to say
Ill pull the plug and push you away
Before we reach love’s judgment day.
 
So the truths come out of my mouth
and i’m sorry that it hurts
But until we fill this cavity
The pain will just get worse
The only way to stop this love 
is to pull it before it from the root
Some Novocain to numb the pain 
A crown or cap won’t due

(Lay back and open wide!)

I need to push you away, 
before we get too close 
Before love’s judgement day
What will come of it when it goes to shit
And then there’s nothing left to say
Ill pull the plug and push you away
Before we reach love’s judgment day.

I’ve felt this way for way too long
That there’s no way it can last
Come to think of it it’s all gone to shit
So stop living in the past!

Judgment Day

AI-Generated with Original Lyrics:

Let me take the time
To paint a portrait of the skies
And just to make it rhyme
I’ll paint them in your eyes

Is this not enough?
What more do you want me to say
It’s just another love song
To make you stay
Cuz it’s you
Yeah,It’s you

Leaving me
With nothing else to do.
Happy now?
How you’ve changed the way I think
About life about love. you think
You’ve changed me but not for long

This is just another stupid love song

Take in this sweet melody
I wrote you a song
Hoping that you will see
That this is all wrong

Is that not what you want to hear?
Cuz I’ll change the words around
It’s just another love song
To keep the girl I found

You’ve left me no choice 
But to lower myself to this
I’m writing another love song 
For the girl I miss

And it’s you
Yeah, It’s you

Leaving me
With nothing else to do.
Happy now?
How you’ve changed the way I think
About life about love. You think
You’ve changed me but not for long
This is just another stupid love song

A Stupid Love song

One last love song 
For you.

Stupid Love Song

AI-Generated with Original Lyrics:

Drip drop
Melting like a cone
I hate the flavor
But I’ll suck it up
Off the pavement if I must
I won’t let a single taste
Go to waste

Bridge the gap
A lesser evil
Give in to it
Can’t stop the minutes
Plip plop
A grain of sand
Tick tock moves the hand

[CHORUS]
And I know
You know
Time can move so slow
When I’m with you
It stops
It stops.

Dance a waltz
Bring up the tempo
Dip and slide across the floor
Scrape your knees
Learn your lesson
You can’t rush these things
And the peroxide stings
Slow it down
Take a number
You cannot cut in line
Wait your turn
Take the time
Smell the flowers
Don’t get lost in the hours

[CHORUS]

Pick it up
Stick it up
Higher than you’ve reached ever
Together forever through each endeavor
Ha! that’s clever
Whether
you choose to believe
That I am a magician
Got a trick up my sleeve
‘Bout what you’ve been missing.
No more wishing
You just listen
Romantic bliss and
We’ll be kissing.

[CHORUS]

Time Stops

AI-Generated with Original Lyrics:

One word at a time 
To paraphrase in other ways
The shifting paradigm
Expression through un-checked malaise

One sentence a day
Becomes the novel life narrates
The way these things stay and play 
With words, the speech life orates

[CHORUS]
And this phase is
Short phrases
Fake smiles, 
Blank gazes
The complicated
Feelings
And abbreviated 
Dealings 
(Yeah)
Articulated diction 
Weaves stories into lies
Biographical fiction
To humanize and empathize
Short phrases and phases of life.

One paragraph, one stanza
Reciprocating silly grins
Artificial laughs to answer
Fraudulent prayers cashed for sins

[CHORUS]

The abstract concept:
Of “self” and “others”
The “why me” intercept
Of Sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers

Open cans teeming with worms
When contemplating this
Time confirms; accepting terms
Regret comes to those who miss:

[CHORUS]

One chapter a year or a decade
Just drops in a pail that leaks
A mess, like the plans best-laid
And knowledge from the fool that speaks:

Short phrases and phases of life.

Short Phrases

AI-Generated with Original Lyrics:

If I could absorb the pain you’re leaking
Provide the love that you are seeking
I’d become the greatest sponge 
But porous holes won’t tend to those
Who hold their breath and plunge…

To depths unknown, the plots unraveled
We’re lost and gone on paths less traveled
Blind leading the blind and yet
No sense being upset.

[CHORUS]
Red flags and warning lights
Turned and left,  it’s not alright
So close your eyes and run
(If) I’m the trigger you’re the gun
A shot inside
For something I
Cannot provide
But still I try
I can't confront 
For what you vie
You can't deny..

The thrill of the hunt.

If I could push back the tears you’re streaming
Redeem the dream your scheming 
I’’d become the greatest mop
But handled yarn won’t end the start
The go we cannot stop…

On highways, freeways, with no off-ramps
Return to senders, expired stamps
Lost leading the lost, insane
No sense changing our lane.

[CHORUS]

A knock at the door
Opportunity 
The world to see
The benefit
To pause and sit
Catch your breath
You're cheating death
And so upset
But can’t forget
Where we’re commuting - no re-routing
No U-turns - keep exploring
No stops - so stop ignoring... 

[CHORUS]

When silenced calls
Unanswered texts
Become the daily norm
Red flags and warnings lights
Are all that keep me warm.

(Yeah) they're all that keep me warm...
So close your eyes and run!

[CHORUS]

The Hunt

AI-Generated with Original Lyrics:

Broken silence - golden 
And as delicate as silk
The calm before the crisis 
A tidal wave of spilling milk 
Curdled in the sun and aged
And crusted to a rind
Creative, cultured - mystic sage
The mind we cannot bind

[CHORUS]
Open the door and see the light
Feel the cold and reach inside 
Pull what you please
Let it pass 
Swallow it whole
Ignore the past 
And sip from present cups
Think not of future sups
Drink every drop - Eat every crumb
Another meal - dinner for one.
A dinner for one.

Suffocate on the cellophanes 
Unbearable, the smell of lust
As love it seems or so it feigns
And molded spores entrust the crust
Broken shells for omelets made
Accept the end to prices paid
Insinuated false elated
Feelings eaten beyond when dated

[CHORUS]

Stumble to the open door
Cracked open when it shouldn’t 
Unavoidable midnight meetings
Tried to stay in bed but couldn’t 
And here I stand alone in shame
When morning comes won’t be the same
Suddenly alright
Secrets in the night

[CHORUS]

It’s a burning yearning
Within the pit of
My stomach turning 
Can’t get enough
To stifle the acidic
Piercing iridic
Stare 
This fare is so unfair…

Dinner for one!

Dinner for One

AI-Generated with Original Lyrics:

(Sip a glass of courage)

Inhale what numbs 
Exhale the sums
Of anxieties
Let out a sigh of ease

Intelligence consumes you
Entombs and may displume you too
There’s nothing left for them to find
Design the time to free your mind

[CHORUS]
Shouting, speaking
But I’ve gone mute
Flying, falling
No parachute
Restless, hopeless 
Without a care
Dancing, dreaming…
In my nightmare

(Sip a glass of courage)

Work out the kinks that bind you
Breathe out then in and hold
Lift up spirits that blind you
Then chase the burning cold

That isn’t healthy coping 
So better shelve the glass 
No moping, doping, hoping
To only find the grass
(Is greener when you wake!)

[CHORUS]

The sun shining 
Kids are smiling
Nothing’s in the way
Just another day
Air in our lungs 
Now isn’t this fun?
For all to share
Dancing, dreaming 
In a nightmare 

[CHORUS]

(Sip a glass of courage)

Shouting, speaking
But I’m alone and
Flying, falling
Mix melatonin
Restless hopeless
With serotonin there
Dancing, dreaming,
All this seeming 
Too real to care

Dancing dreaming
In a nightmare.

Dreaming

AI-Generated with Original Lyrics:

Strange travelers 
Creeping, peeping, peeking
Knocking doors and seeking
Counseling sessions
Or Blind confessions…

(Do you have the time?)

What a mess It’s been
We’re miles from the garden
No lead-in or buy-in
Too little too late to begin

[CHORUS]
And sinners or saints
We’re still nothing but paint (just paint)
On a canvas that’s burning
The artist is turning
Away from us now
He’s thrown in the towel
I’m just the messenger…
(Don’t shoot the messenger)

Strange followers
Hand-shaking, forsaking
Walking streets and making
Open-ended statements, 
A sanity abatement…

(Have you heard the news?)

What a mess we’re in
So far from Eden
No breakin even
No quit before we win

[CHORUS]

The bearer of bad news 
(Yeah It’s bad news bears)
The struggle bus is coming 
For you (For you, for you)
The moral of the story 
(When red between the lines)
Still waiting for the drop of
The shoe. 
(Waiting for the drop of the shoe)

What a mess
(Deep shit)
It’s what we’re in…
(Yeah' we're in it)
It’s what we’re in…
(We’re in too deep)
Over our heads
(Asleep like sheep)
To rise and run
(Tripped up the stairs)
Before they’re done
(Hears truths or dares)
To listen to the spin
(Bottled up frustration)

An indication of isolation!!

And sinners or saints
We’re nothing but paint (we’re nothing)
On the canvas that’s burning (it’s burning)
The artist is turning (he’s turning)
Away from us now (away, away)
He’s thrown in the towel (gave up, he’s out!)
I’m just the messenger… (no)

Don’t shoot the messenger. 
No.
