Writing this song made me feel like I was a composer for an old video game.  There is no real inspiration or story behind the piece - just that I think it's fun to play and I like the sound (and idea) of the word panacea.

Panacea

Thriller - Acoustic Cover

Listen to the people talking about
All the things that bring them down
Looks like everyone is worried and now
We're all making the same sound

We're mad cause we need a little more time
A little more peace and peace of mind
We're starting to see a negative trend
We're gonna complain till our bitter end

Everybody's angry
Everybody's mad
Everyone is filing the same complaints
We've had all we can stand

Nobody makes enough money
Nobody has enough cash
Nobody got the love they needed as a child
Nobody's gonna make love last

Everything breaks
Nothing ever works
We'll never get a raise
We're always gonna hurt
No one really cares
Yeah everyone ignores
But maybe we could share
The same four letter word

Angry

Heavy Riff

Can someone stop this world from spinning
I just need to get off
I'll fly away to a far far place
To figure out my thoughts
She hit my world just like a comet
And shook the whole place up
Like the leaves in the autumn breeze
I'm scattered and I'm all mixed up

But my heart won't listen to my logical head
No my heart won't listen to me
It just won't listen when I say she'll never stay with me
Cause my heart is still chasing that dream

The aftermath of her impact
Stole air from the atmosphere
She left a crater in my history
The scars are painfully clear

I may never get to see her in the autumn breeze
I may never get the chance to pull her close to me
She may never get to see the man for her I swear I'd be, yeah
She may never know how much I miss her
She may never know how much I care

Heart Won't Listen

I've been lost before, but never like this
Not sure which way I'm facing now, and I'm feeling weightless
But I know that my time is way past due
To live this life out loud
With eyes anew
Not going down without a  fight, and everything's alright
Got every single thing I need

So whisper in my ear, just what I need to hear
I don't know what the future brings, but there's something inside of me
That's whispers go along, keep chasing every song
Never stop what we started here, keep it beating crystal clear
 
Sometimes I'm paralyzed, just looking out to find
What's, going on
I'm shaking to my bones, can't seem to find a note
With nothing wrong
Not going down without a fight
And everything's alright
Got every single thing I need

It may be out of my reach
But I can dream
And if it isn't meant to be
Please don't wake me
