Who Are We?

All That We Can Do

The screaming echoed through me,
And left me reaching out.
I lost my voice, but found it,
Through instinct there’s no doubt.

The family tree was growing,
With a brach we could not see.
I watched the cards unfolding,
A brand new hand for me.

Was once the center of it all,
A moment full of light.
The laughter still remained there,
Though years have blurred my sight.

I saw decisions shaping,
In a place I’ve come to know.
The echoes of my future,
In a room that seemed to glow.

It was simply for the best,
Lessons I just can’t forget.

I painted myself older,
Wore a badge of my fleeting pride.
But the cracks began to surface,
And I drifted far outside.

Sent across the bridge each morning,
In a van that stole my breath.
The fumes filled up the silence,
As I held my need to rest.

The ride back home felt endless,
A lesson I just can’t forget.
I thought I was the good one,
But trouble seems to find me yet.

The lines I crossed were subtle,
But still they stayed behind me.
I made my observations,
Deep thinking from the start.

Saw the world in scattered pieces,
And mapped it in my heart.
(In my heart)

It was simply for the best,
Lessons I just can’t forget.
Seems the more things change,
The more they stay the same,
A lesson I cannot forget,
It’s all that we can do.

We flew across the mainland,
Dreams hanging in the air.
A one way trip to something new.
A life we’d build out there.

But doors begat to close on us,
The welcome wore away,
Told we didn’t fit the frame,
So went back home to stay.

But still found a change of scenery,
Yet the story stayed the same.
Carried my outsider’s shadow,
To streets that whispered my name.

The world there felt like magic,
A spark I built within.
But even spells can falter,
When you don’t know where to begin.

It’s all that we can do.

It was simply for the best,
Lessons I just can’t forget.
Seems the more things change,
The more they stay the same,
A lesson I cannot forget,
It’s all that we can do.

I finally turned around,
And saw the world anew.
The faces all seemed brighter,
The circles felt like clues.

But I stepped between the edges,
Of lives that never crossed.
Each step a different version,
Each group a gain or loss.

Then I met my future,
And the world began to turn.
Memories took their places,
As the past began to burn.

A new hand fell before me,
With cards I had never seen.
The years collapsed like echoes,
Time slipping through the seams.

Was this really living?
Something slipped away.
Terrified the end was near,
But I never planned the start.

The weight of time hung heavy.
And hallowed out my heart.
I stumbled on the echoes,
Of what the past could be.

But I found the breath of something new,
A spark inside of me.
Still there is a constant,
The other half of me.
A love that spans the decades,
Through all that’s yet to be.

It was simply for the best,
Lessons I just can’t forget.
Seems the more things change,
The more they stay the same,
A lesson I cannot forget,
It’s all that we can do.

All that we can do.
All that we can do.
All that we can do.
We can do.

Before late May, 2021, Mark Z80 had never written a lick of music, although he's been a huge music fan since the 1960s. He always wanted to do something in the field, but didn't know what.

It took the pandemic for serendipity to hit -- with his wife, Lorri, they started a YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/c/hypnosrelaxation). So he purchased a MIDI controller just to try it out, and began writing and producing music profusely. He wrote ambient music for the channel and started writing pop/rock as well.

Mark Z80 released his first pop/rock album November 2nd, 2021, and hasn't stopped since. He's now released 8 albums, and he's halfway through recording his next album, "Who Are We".

Inspiration: Taylor Swift, U2, The Jezabels, Chvrches, ABBA, The Cars, The Strokes, Tegan & Sara, and so many more.
