This Time
Copyright 2016 - Scott Joachim

This time I will live my life
I will see the light that shines behind these eyes

I could be a better me
I could feel each moment as it plays each day
I could hear your laughter, feel your pain
Passing mirrors free of vain

This time I will dream out loud
I will smile politely, stand in line
This time if I could see the lines
I would draw inside them every time

I will make up my mind
Keep all my disdain inside
Swallow my pride
Take the these waves and ride

I could be a better me
I could feel each moment as it plays each day
I could be the one who leads
And see inside of what's behind these lines

This time I will live my life
I will be the man I know that I can be
This time if I could see the lines
I will draw inside them every time

This time I will live my life
I will see the light that shines behind these eyes

The Things That Make A Life
Copyright 2016 - Scott Joachim

Looking back through sill frames of images
The movie of my self
Look at all the pieces I picked up

I think about my family
I think about my friends
I think about the seasons
Around the bend

Where do we go
What do I know
How to make it slow
The things that make a life
The things that make a life

I see myself in every shade of every color
Black and white and in between
I tear apart all the theories of my misgivings
Lord knows where I've been

Where do we go
What do I know
How to make it slow
The things that make a life

Looking back through still frames of images
The things that make a life
Look at all the pieces I picked up

Where do we go
What do I know
How to make it slow
The things that make a life

The Things That Make A Life (Rough Demo)

Will to Survive
Copyright 2017 Scott Joachim
Produced by Russ De Salvo

And so it goes
How it goes
Some things conspire and spiral out of control

It is 
What it is
These questions of how and what for - they won't change a thing

This is my reflection
My humble refrain
I'm out of emotion
But there's one thing that won't go away

My will to survive
And thrive
Inspired to rise up and stand
And say I'm still alive
And on fire
No one will stand in my way
And my will to survive

It will be 
What will be
When the dust from this gust settles
On to a page of our history

But I am
Who I am
And there's nobody, no-how and nowhere
Can tear me apart from me

This is my reflection
My humble refrain
I'm out of emotion
But there's one thing that won't go away

My will to survive
And thrive
Inspired to rise up and stand
And say I'm still alive
And on fire
No one will stand in my way
And my will to survive

Will to Survive

A New Day
Copyright 2017 Scott Joachim
Produced by Russ DeSalvo

I've been wasting time in wait time, waiting time
To hear your voice again 
My sun no longer shines and I can't taste the wine
With this water around my head

A whisper turns to laughter, a teardrop falls away
The ghosts I'm chasing after...born into a new day

Sun rise up, moon come down
It's a new day in this one-room town
The tide is high, the sky meets ground
It's a new day

History, alchemy and mastery
Can take you so far
It takes more than dignity, vanity and sanity
To find out who you are

Impatience turns to anger, sunshine turns to grey
The dreams I'm chasing after...waiting for a new day

Sun rise up, moon come down
It's a new day in this one-room town
The tide is high, the sky meets ground
It's a new day

I close my eyes to sleep and I faded deep
With angels at my feet
Suddenly, I'm complete - in awe of these
The ghosts I meet

Sun rise up, moon come down
It's a new day in this one-room town
The tide is high, the sky meets ground
It's a new day

Sun rise up, moon come down
It's a new day in this one-room town
The tide is high, the sky meets ground
It's a new day in this one-room town

Central Park
Copyright 2017 - Scott Joachim
Produced by Russ DeSalvo

Summer leaves are broken
Under footsteps on dirty ground
The path ahead uncertain
Like an empty forest to a sound

This town knocked me down
Pushed me over, spun me 'round
On the same city street where the east and west sides meet
I was lost, now I'm found
In the town that knocked me down

Words unspoken ...
Disappear
Days flow into weekends
And the candles count the years

This town knocked me down
Pushed me over, spun me 'round
On the same city street where the east and west sides meet
I was lost, now I'm found
In the town that knocked me down
