Autopilot
 
Lay your hands upon my controls
ignore your caution
taken whole
Sunken where we ought to be
sweet accident
(when) we’ve gotten free
 
Time is on us growing down
stealing kisses she’s
penny for pound
Wake up under smothered hope
skipping scenes
they’ve a secret joke
 
(chorus)
I fell down
fell down again
Abandoned and
came up the same
Tired for a lost
weary traveller
Put on the cost
It hardly matters
 
These things are only good real
release yourself
so good to kneel
Claw away from all your reasons
bankrupt fated
electric obeisance

Man In My Head
 
“There’s a man in my head, but he isn’t me anymore...”
 
Feelings are fleeting
can lie like the truth
People want comfort
or abuse for proof
The angle worthy
is something new
 
I have walked upon you,
and among, willing fool
Victim or liar --
no better, but through
Walk away quiet
there is nothing to lose
 
(chorus)
Sonnets like sickness
inspiration cruel
Courage is precious
anger is fuel
 
Romance is waiting
dull gesture and cue
promiseless passions
impotent noose
calculated walls
we cannot undo
intimate voids
clutching and crude
obscene genuflections
lifeless fuck-you
 
(chorus)
Nowhere is purpose
shadows turn loose
Deciding we’re done is
our first moment true

If we do the right things with respect to social distancing and we get a vaccine soon, good things come to those who wait!!!!! Maybe we can go back to the way it was pre-pandemic in some ways. Like fans at Fenway!

Nick Kushner is a guitarist/bassist/keyboardist/singer who composes rock, jazz, classical, funk and new age music. Most of my compositions are short guitar instrumentals that I put bass, drums and keyboard parts to. Sometimes I add vocals. But lately, I have been composing many soundtrack compositions. I hope you enjoy the music!
