Entry number four.

I'm Pleased with the way this song turned out, I think I got some melancholy in the music without it being too depressing. 

this song is about Alzheimer's disease and even more about the people it effects.

Lyrics:
She tells him that she's going outside to get some fresh air
While She wonders if the man she sits beside is even still there
Cause it's been far too long she says since he said her name
And now she can't help but be scared he'll never say it again

Eroding like a stone from the ocean waves 
Cause she's been living all alone these past few days
Give anything to break through her husbands haze
She can barely hear a sound through her own malaise
these days 

Where is the man she loved?

He still seems to know all of the words to the songs that he knew
But when his daughter comes to sit and hold his hand he asks "Who are you?"
Now he's content to spend his days sitting all alone
Doesn't know he should be missing the greatest love that he's ever known

He doesn't know about the love he's left behind but she remembers for them both and tries to remind
She wonders how the world can be so unkind
And wants to take a look inside his mind bu she'd find...

Lyrics:
I'm still tempted by you, I know, 
Just what I will do if I give into desire 
And I can barely explain, the world 
doesn't seem quite the same

I'd love to ask if I can
Do you change the man that I am?
It's like taking a dose, letting myself get this close to you 

It's the same old lie, everyday, that this is the last time
Defocusing my mind, my love you help me to unwind
But I don't need you now

I'm breathing you in, I know
That to some this is sin, and I go mad every time
The accusations are thrown, but the facts, 
So rarely are known

I wonder if he's askew
The man I am when I'm with you?
Cause for better or worse there's times I know it's a curse it's true

Throughout your life you're been relieving the pain, for all of those who ache
I like to think in time that opinions will change, who knows how long it will take
Cause there's those who need you now

You mess with my head , I know
I could be building instead of simply wasting the day
But now you're luring me in, again. 
And I'm letting you win

Across the sea and here too 
Men lose their freedom for you
And we don't see they don't want you to be be free from them.

It's the same old lie, everyday, too long we've all been blind
You see, we argue wrong or right but we have to learn ts'not always black or white 
We must see through
Thoughts must be new
I might need you now.

Lyrics:
You see girl that I'm bereft, your touch has left me Lacerated 
I'm letting you on top cause you won't stop until you're sated
trapped with you in the dark,  you've  left you're mark and I don't like it
Regret this looking back but hindsight's good for nothing in the end  

And now I'm working out, who wants who to go 
I'm done now I can see that you're a psycho don't you know

You see girl that I'm bereft, your touch has left me Lacerated
Neither of us can combat the chances that we both created
You say I'm yours to take and won't wake up body aching
As soon as we're both  done you've had your fun and now you're taking off

And I just wanna be, exactly where we are
I'll get us both alone so you can leave another scar
And now I'm working out, who wants who to go 
I'm done now I can see that you're a psycho don't you know

To outside eyes, you couldn't hurt a fly
But that can change and die
So we should say good bye

Now I can't help, what I do
Bringing out the worst in you
Hope to god that it's not true

Ok let's go just one more time
Is it just  victimless crime?
Cause girl you are sublime

Now you can't help what this will be
Bringing out the worst in me
Are we far too close to see

Lyrics:
It's wearing me down, living my life as a beginner 
No shadow of doubt, when do I get to feel like I'm a winner
If we had somewhere to be then we could be ok 

How can you manage your time, when half of it's spent as someone different
Half is saying he's fine, while one claims he's been dealt a life of torment
Just find a lock for the key and we could be ok

It's clear that we've grown, but I'm not sure that i like the thing we're turning into.
At least we're never alone, thinking at night of what we've been through
A few more hours of sleep and we could be ok

It happens now and then
I've fallen down again 
Although we fall and hit the floor
We'll be back before you know

I'm Slowly giving it up, the idea that we could ever make it
Cause' like it or not, there's only so long that you can fake it
Be someone better than me and we could be ok

What else can we do?  You know that the grass is always greener
since we've been seeing it through I may have noticed a change in your demeanour
Just find a way we ca  leave and we could be ok.

Another fallen man
Catch us if you can
Because we get what we deserve
Insisting we preserve us both
A wave of Deja vu
I'm recognising you
This ocean won't erode our core
Drift further from the shore 
We won't despair no more
Cause' We'll be back before you know

Be someone they can believe and we could be ok
 


A Song a Fortnight #24: "The Old Switcheroo"

Lyrics:
I'm off into town to practice
Smiling at strangers so I
Can do the real thing when I need to 
 
I   Can tell from the nerves, there's no doubt that
I'm out of practice but I
Can't risk missing another chance
to catch a glance, of you
 
Cause we learn to fear the constant risk of rejection don't we?
but if you don't play then you can't win.
so let's begin

I can barely take the look that's in your eyes
Like a bullet piercing, right through my disguise
It could be worth the lows, just to feel the highs
On second thoughts, maybe you  Kick should make peace with yourself
Before you pair with someone else

I buy bigger boots to stamp down 
the constant over thinking 
How can we feel lonely in a crowd?

Each time I see you coming 
Once more my heart it races 
But I have to let you pass me by
And I know why.

I can barely take, the look that's in your eyes
Like a bullet piercing, right through my disguise
It could be worth the lows, just to feel the highs
On second thoughts, maybe we should learn to love ourselves
Before we pair with someone else

I'm off into to town to practice
Smiling at strangers so I, can do the real thing when I need to
When I see you

Lyrics:
In the mountains high as clouds
Unknown to all the crowds
He's watching from the shrouds
As he awaits the falling snow
He's watching everywhere you go
So be bad and he will know

He's growing restless as the nights grow cold
You'd best believe the stories grandma told
there's a shiver sent as you hear his rusty chain
He's come to town and he is here to bring you pain

Now the day is almost here 
You're full of christmas cheer
But have you been good this year?
You hear something from your bed
Is it the jolly man in red?
Or Something else instead?

Are those hoofprints fresh upon the snow?
Not sure if you even want to know
Cause he'll pull your ears and he'll damn near shred your soul
And once he's started you might wish that you'd got coal

Little boy he doesn't care you're young
After tonight you won't forget his tongue 
Soon you'll learn to fear that jingle bell 
You know it means he's come to drag you down to hell

Lyrics:
It seems time has claimed another one
The stars have passed us by
A lap around our mother sun
complete movement of the sky
the memories of how I've spent my time
they may be hazy but their mine

I'll say when it's over
And I say that we've barely just begun
Another year older
But I know that I'm not the only one 
I can't say I've worked it out 
That's not what this was all about
Cause now It's over but you know
That back around again we go

I lost track of what was happening
far too long ago
And if this has taught me anything
Will be a while before I know
And I can't tell If I've lost or won
but I've grow the most this year bar none 

And I'll say when it's over
I won't throw in the towel we're far from done
Ask if I'm sober
And I'll ask if you wish you'd had more fun
And There's still time to find my place
And maybe rise then fall from grace
You know that time can only show
As sure as sun will melt the snow
Back around again we go

I'll say when it's over
And I won't while I have the strength to stand
Created a loner 
Sitting alone guitar in hand
Giving up not a choice
I could break my hands or lose my voice 
Before the end you all will know
That back around again I'll go
