VERSE
God, why do I have to write my chords,
All over the piano board?
Seems, Like all these progressions are the sounds of all the thinking that I can’t afford.
Why, do I only have to speeds?
Got, whiplash from my wants and needs.
These, delicate foundations of the happy little life I try my best to lead.
Where, did the passing time go?
So, high and then I’m so damn low.
I’m lost again before I know.
I’m screwing up the whole damn…
Show, staring as the stunning lead.
So you’ll believe.
That I’m free.
CHORUS
Well the jokes on me.
I’ve racked up a thousand cruel attacks upon my vanity.
Agony I have no right to.
Could it be,
My mind is my worst enemy?
VERSE
And, I’m feeling like I’m black and blue.
From this obsession that I have with you.
You’re, only in my head and yet you leave your tread on every little thing I do.
You’ve,
Got me on an iron string.
Don’t, know which direction I’ll swing.
I’m bated then equated to the nightmare that my mirror won’t stop reflecting.
Where,
Did my piece of mind go?
So, high and then you bring me low.
Good, god I’m ready to outgrow.
This, pathological shit show.
Oh, starring as the stunning lead.
So, you’ll believe.
That I’m free
CHORUS
Well the jokes on me
I’ve racked up a thousand cruel attacks upon my vanity.
Agony I have no right to.
Could it be,
My mind is my worst enemy?
BRIDGE
Oh, my worst enemy,
it’s clear to see.
Is every night I’m up till three o’clock,
Lost in reverie for what I’ll never be.

Yours to Mine

“Yours to Mine”
VERSE
I, never had something that I couldn’t keep away from. No I,
Could choose to lose myself in new space and times.
And god forbid a man should ever look my way. Oh no I,
Zoom to assume someone else in the room’s his prize.
I’ve done it ton thousand times.
And, in this fashion I keep the passion far, far away from me. I,
Keep firm control over my soul and my mind.
I do it and I swear I’m fine.
CHORUS
But since our encounter,
I find I count your words carefully in my mind.
And when we are facing,
I can’t help tracing the paths from your limbs to mine.
Yours to mine, yours to mine.
And, and yes I do lament your arrogant presentation. But I’m,
Still mesmerized as you devise every line.
I’m weaker with passage of time.
CHORUS
And it’s quite obstructive.
Just how disruptive your system can be to mine.
And I was just cruising,
‘till introducing your reckless being to mine.
Yours to mine.
BRIDGE
And I think maybe I’m going crazy.
And I couldn’t tell you what became of me.
You never gave me implication for justification of the situation I am in.
INTERLUDE
And I know you’ll never be mine…
CHORUS
‘Cause when we’re comparing,
our levels of caring there’s light years from yours to mine.
And it’s devastating,
When I’m calibrating distance from your world to mine.
Yours to mine.

The Right Way

VERSE
You’re a busy headed boy.
You think about each word you state,
And yet maintain a stunning rate.
Each day,
You fold the whole world neatly in your brain.
A busy headed boy, you are.
I like to give you room to speak.
‘Cause you put your moments through a sifter,
And collect each little gift-your mind.
Won’t rest until its drained this whole life dry.
Familiar kind of mind to mine.
CHORUS
And stubborn dark days can’t persist,
Confronted by your sweet existence. I,
Can’t stop corners of my mouth raising,
In wake of your brilliant phrasing.
And, every day.
I’m happy I stopped loving you,
So that I could start loving you.
The right way.
BRIDGE
You keep me in line ‘cause you see,
All of me.
VERSE
And I like to watch your moods,
Chase each other in these endless circles.
As you balance play and work.
You’ll strain,
To hold the worlds weight on your buoyant frame.
But what a joyful game, you play.
CHORUS
And together we celebrate,
The quirky ways that we relate. And I,
Live life dangerously close to laughter,
Since you installed your own chapter,
In, all my days,
And I’m happy I stopped loving you,
So that I could start loving you,
The right way.
