What Everyone Wants

The end of the night
A perfect day
Ready for bed
Together we lay
Here in our world
A beautiful scene
The joyous ideal
It just isn’t me
Love and kindness
The best way to live
What everyone wants
What I cannot give
Every detail
Wholly sublime
Everything’s right
Except in my mind
It should be easy
The comforts of home
I’ve never wanted
To be more alone
Here in my world
A failure, I guess
Wish I could explain
Wish it made sense
Love and kindness
The best way to live
What everyone wants
What I cannot give

All Zen And Shit
02:57

I know it’s not your fault
I know it’s not deserved
To put all your resolve
On the cold and uninvolved
On someone with little worth
Sucking up your time
All that preciousness
A never-ending climb
With no ending point defined
And no certain benefit
Do not hesitate
Do not waste a second more
You can find a better place
A better cause worth fighting for
So leave it in the past
Then leave that past behind
Your future’s here at last
Stand up proud and stay steadfast
Don’t let anyone change your mind
Do not hesitate
Do not waste a second more
Find your underlying grace
Forget all that came before
Refocus, replace
And recalibrate
Rebalance, refit
Get all zen and shit
Redeem, reconnect
With what makes you best
Rebound and reroute
Sweep away the doubt
So do not hesitate
Do not waste a second more
The sky can fall another day
Forget all that came before

City Of Sparks

City of Sparks
The enigmatic dream
Collapsing out of view
Igniting something to
Illuminate the streets
In sparks
My melancholic friend
Peripatetically
We take our things and leave
Before the ‘goodbyes’ end
In a starlit reverie
Disappearing into scenes
Of an elusive joy
Revealing a great truth:
I’m only vibrant around you
Everything else is noise
Enchanting and impressed
In the candy-apple dress
That you love to wear
Moving oh-so gracefully
And creating memories
From the epiphanies we share
And we know this will not last
We can flicker bright for now
But the light can go out fast
Or it can hang around
In the city of Sparks

Barstool Choices
03:07
|

We started off at my dingy apartment and ended up in yours
But before all of that got going, there was a bar, of course
Where we went from ‘hi, how are you?’ to ‘your place or mine?’
(And, again, we ended up doing both things) in record time
And it still goes on right now
And it still goes on somehow, dear
Through the randomness of barstool choices a rare match was made
You brought out a feeling inside me that I still can’t convey
And it still goes on right now
And it still goes on somehow despite my fears
It’s still going on right now
It’s still going on somehow, dear

Everything And Less
02:35
|
|||
|
You don’t need to know everything
Not all mysteries need solving
All your precious time is better spent
On the present or future tense
If you knew everything, then you’d soon see
There’s nothing to solve, no mystery
Just an emptiness, an old spark gone
With no purpose until the night you came along
