The ninth tale of Snow and Cherry

When souls collide

love is the answer
to the pain in your soul, she said
what you're looking for
you won't find it in here

well, I don't believe it, he said
what if you're wrong, you know,
you've been wrong before
you don't know me at all

in his mind
her words
sting like a paper cut
if she's right
all he's known comes tumbling down

love is a journey, she points
and I'm getting off, he scorns
what makes you so sure?
well, I don't care anymore

In her heart
she knows
this is a story of when
the person's right
but the timing is off

oh oh the timing is off oh oh

love isn't easy
but it's worth the fall, I heard
the pain is assured
but the heartbreak is a choice

I know now
this is a story of 
when souls collide
but the timing is off

they might not meet again, that's right
but will never forget

on oh oh life goes on

When souls collide

*Note about the song: Bit of a ramble inspired by an old bit of writing and a friend's recent break-up and the notion that even though it needed to happen, it still hurt. 

i speak, you listen
you speak and i listen
something has broken, shifted, and changed
i spoke my truth, i feel you did the same

we said we'll continue on
but we can't the way we used to 
we're too kind, too polite, too complimentary
oh we're masking all our heartbreak in this reverie 

(oooooooohs and woooooaaaahhhs for days)

we offer thanks and apologies
like our feelings are somehow too much
oh it's more than what we can give one another, darling
oh we need more than what we can give, oh darling

oh we were so kind
oh and we just kept trying not to cry
trying not to cry

and these words are true
they say that time will take away everything
but they can't take away these damn memories

and maybe, oh maybe,
someday, someday i will find
i will find it'll sting less
than it does tonight

maybe it'll sting less 
than it does tonight

wish you all the best
oh you wish me all the best
maybe we'll find true joy someday
maybe someday

Turn Away

"Buy Me A Pink Balloon" (#532, 211102)

Everyone gets older a little every day
Wiser too if they really listen
But we've been gettin' younger somehow someway
In the kisses we been kissin'

Children long for presents every holiday
To ring in the occasion
Well you're the greatest thing I ever celebrate
Always worth the waitin'

Buy me a pink balloon and I'll sing a song for you
Dance the world away right by my side
It happens once a year the moon so big and clear
Won't you raise a glass with me tonight

Hand in hand there's nothin' nothin' we can't do
Walkin' next to you feels so right
Later on this evening make a wish or two
Candles burnin' bright

Buy me a pink balloon and I'll sing a song for you
Dance the world away right by my side
It happens once a year the moon so big and clear
Won't you raise a glass with me tonight

Week 44 - Buy Me A Pink Balloon (211102)

I'm a doctor, in a helicopter
If you wanna step to me
You'd better get a little higher than you are
My warmth and knowledge, like morning porridge
This love bomb is gonna tear right through your life like a motorbike

Though my fabulous air ambulance is flying high
There’s evidence that arrogance is rife
This life can take or can leave you like a wife
And so I'm cutting through your butter like a hot knife

Well, I'm the pilot - high-flying skyward
I could let you try it but
You got to get your little fire under my control
Might dent your ego if you’re watching me go
I wouldn't say I'm a hero but
They are a little magnificent, these things I do

Chorus

We’re only heroes - we’re just heroes, that’s all we are
We’re only heroes - only heroes, nothing more
Everyday heroes - only heroes, that’s all we are
That’s why we fly so high and go so far

An Encounter Gone Wrong (Pt 2)

Mutacircel [part 5]

tripping with jago

lyrics:
this cat is not me he’s right here with me

he doesn’t ask why every time he breaths

he doesn’t need a reason to exist

or wonder what will be of him in 15 years

why do i need i purpose, why do i need a reason

why do i need to go in reality and make a incision

to find out whats underneath, to discover what is hidden

just to realize that the truth is pretty hideous

there is no running away, there is no escape

i can only play the game and there is nowhere safe

talk about safety, im smoking a jay and just the smoke in my brain could write an essay

what is being sober, what is being high

one day I woke up just to realize 

that this cat is right here and one day it will die

and to ask who own the thoughts that populate my mind

who am I really, this body or this soul?

Can I put together all the parts the make me whole

like a puzzle I learn myself piece by piece

all I hope is to one day be able to find peace

this cat is not me he’s right here with me

he doesn’t ask why every time he breaths

he doesn’t need a reason to exist

or wonder what will be of him in 15 years
