  • I Know I Have To Find Another Way (FAWM 2023 #2)
    I saw you turn and look the other way
    When I walked into the room
    I'm pretending that it doesn't feel
    Like my heart's being torn in two
    I'm standing here so nervously
    You can tell by the way I move
    I am trying to act naturally
    Trying to become somebody new
    I know that I have to find another way
    I know that it's all that I can do
    I know that I really made of mess of things, that doesn't mean
    That I'm not still in love with you
    I guess I'm just stuck with all these memories
    As they constantly intrude
    I don't need anything reminding me
    Of all the cruel unspoken truths
    I know that I have to find another way
    I know that it's all that's left to do
    I know that I really made of mess of things, that doesn't mean
    That I'm not still in love with you

  • The Great Pretender (Fawm 2023 #1)
    I pour the milk into my coffee
    I load the toaster with my bread
    I try to understand the reasons
    For all these voices in my head
    I scan the headlines in the paper
    I close my eyes and shake my head
    Now I'm laughing for no reason
    I must be losing it again
    But you know that I'm the great pretender
    Though I'm just tryin' to hold it all together
    But I can keep it under wraps
    Can't see it in a photograph
    You'll find it hard to tell
    Even if you know well
    All the world's a stage
    I'll take my bow and make my way
    'cause you know that I'm the great pretender
    I take a pill to help me wake up
    I take another before bed
    I listen to a book on Budda
    He said that life is suffering
    I'm not certain how that helps me
    But I try to understand
    And somehow Jesus died for my sins
    That doesn't make a lot of sense
    But you know that I'm the great pretender
    Though I'm just tryin' to hold it all together
    But I can keep it under wraps
    Can't see it in a photograph
    You'll find it hard to tell
    Even if you know well
    All the world's a stage
    I can hide the hurt and rage
    If you see me on the street
    I'll be the nicest one you meet
    'cause you know that I'm the great pretender
    And I'm just tryin' to hold it all together
    But I can keep it under wraps
    Can't see it in a photograph
    You'll find it hard to tell
    Even if you know well
    'cause you know that I'm the great pretender
    And I'm just tryin' to hold it all together
    All the world's a stage
    I'm starring in this passion play
    If you see me on the street
    I'll be the nicest one you meet
    'cause you know that I'm the great pretender
    And I'm just tryin' to hold it all together
    I can hide the hurt and rage

  • A Dream You Can't Remember (Song Sketch)
    You know that you need to remind yourself
    That you're running out of time
    You cannot afford to find yourself
    Stuck running circles in you mind
    You would think it would be easier
    You would think you could decide
    You know that you need to remind yourself
    That you're running out of time
    Do you think that you'll forgive yourself
    You've already paid a price
    And no matter how the cards are dealt
    You've still gotta live this life
    Don't you think you deserve another chance
    To fight another fight?
    Do you think that you'll forgive yourself
    You've already paid a price
    There's a dream you can't remember
    A voice inside your head
    A feeling that it could be much better
    When all the lies and the illusions, are finally coming to an end
    There's nothin left to talk about
    You've laid it on the line
    There really isn't any doubt
    There's nothin left to try
    So this is where you find yourself
    At least you know the reason why
    There's nothin left to talk about
    You've laid it on the line
    There's a dream you can't remember
    A voice inside your head
    A feeling that it will be much better
    When all the lies and the illusions, are finally coming to an end
    There's a dream you can't remember
    The one where you begin again
    Where it all comes right back together
    When all the lies and the illusions, are finally coming to an end

  • Don't Play Stupid With Me (Song Sketch)
    Don't play stupid with me
    I see what I see
    Go ahead, try and fool yourself, but you'll never fool me
    Don't play stupid with me
    The secrets you keep
    You bury them deep
    But you spend every night, wrestling ghosts in your dreams
    The secrets you keep
    I know you know
    But you can't let it show
    It's time to move on
    What's taking so long
    There is nobody to blame
    Life can be funny that way
    When you sure that you're winning, then the rules suddenly change
    There is nobody to blame
    I know you know
    But you can't let it go
    You try to hold on
    But it just feels wrong
    Don't play stupid with me
    I see what I see
    Go ahead, try and fool yourself, but you'll never fool me
    Don't play stupid with me

  • I Don't Mind (Song Sketch)
    I don't mind, if the skies are grey
    I don't mind. if it's pouring rain
    I don't mind, if my tire's flat
    I don't mind, about all of that
    There's nothin' that matters to me that much
    As long as I'm coming home to your lovin' touch
    I don't mind, if I lose my job
    I don't mind, if people start calling me bob
    I don't mind, if my stub my toe
    If I've got nowhere to go
    I couldn't care less about being alone
    As long as you are waiting when I get home
    That look in your eye (That's all I want)
    That sweet little sigh (That's all I need)
    The taste of your lips
    When you give me a kiss
    It's all that I ever miss
    I don't mind, If my teeth aren't white
    I don't mind, if I'm late for my flight
    I don't mind, if I l can't find my keys
    I don't mind, if I can't speak Chinese
    There's nothin' that matters to me that much
    As long as I'm coming home to your lovin' touch
    I don't mind, if the market tanks
    I don't mind, if there's a run on the banks
    I don't mind, if my clothes don't fit
    I don't mind, about none of that sh sh sh
    Show me a million reasons to quit
    As long as you're with me I won't care a bit
    That look in your eye (That's all I want)
    That sweet little sigh (That's all I need)
    The taste of your lips
    When you give me a kiss
    It's all that I ever miss
    The taste of your lips
    When you give me a kiss
    It's all that I ever miss
    The taste of your lips
    When you give me a kiss
    It's all that I ever miss

  • Lost In A Losing Game (Song Sketch)
    I can see the bridges burning brightly lighting up the writing on the wall
    I cannot believe that we are really fighting for the right to take the fall
    It’s all going down in flames
    Lost in a losing game
    Everybody hearing voices in the wind telling them things they already know
    Empty victories and foolish choices will end up leaving us with nothing left to show
    Only ourselves to blame
    Lost in a losing game
    We point our fingers at the other side and tell ourselves that it's all their Fault
    They do the same damn thing to us and in the end we are both just as wrong
    We are all the same
    Lost in a losing game
    I can see the bridges burning brightly lighting up the writing on the wall
    I cannot believe that we are really fighting for the right to take the fall
    It’s all going down in flames
    Lost in a losing game

  • The Road Ahead (Song Sketch)
    Solving mysteries wrapped in riddles
    Playing both ends against the middle
    Keeping one eye on road ahead
    Not saying things better left unsaid
    Reaping what I have sown
    Creeping into the unknown
    Another world, another time
    Another dream, for me to find
    All the colors of the rainbow
    All the stars up in the sky
    All the roads still left untaken
    All the chances still to try
    Trying not to get discouraged
    Hoping to gather up the courage
    Learning lessons along the way
    Understanding there's a price to pay
    Reaching for the golden ring
    Searching for my song to sing
    Feeling grateful for every day
    Staying humble as I make my way
    All the colors of the rainbow
    All the stars up in the sky
    All the love that I have in my heart
    All the wonder in my mind
    Solo over Verse
    All the colors of the rainbow
    All the stars up in the sky
    All the roads still left untaken
    All the chances still to try
    All the love that I have in my heart
    All the wonder in my mind

  • I Do Not Expect A Miracle (Song Sketch)
    Counting the red stars
    In the blue hour before sunup
    the sound of distant traffic
    in the thin and beating light
    Underneath a crimson moon
    I am lost in loving you
    Dangerous and lovely
    Unreasonable and kind
    My fat black heart is leaving me
    echoing inside
    Dreams lined with Marigold
    Azalea and Primrose
    I do not expect a miracle
    I do not expect a miracle
    I do not expect a miracle
    But I'm sittin' here waiting
    For the signs
    Ooh Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
    Ooh Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
    Watching all the droplets falling
    Slowly from the sky
    Incandescent, colorful
    Beautiful alive
    Laying under love's shadow
    Wondering where to go
    I do not expect a miracle
    I do not expect a miracle
    I do not expect a miracle
    But I'm sittin' here waiting
    For the signs
    I do not expect a miracle
    I do not expect a miracle
    I do not expect a miracle
    But I'm sittin'

  • It's All Just Such A Shame (Song Sketch)
    I can still remember all the things we did together
    Back when we were kids and all the trouble we got in
    I know I haven’t seen you in what seems like forever
    This is not the way I ever thought it all would end
    I wish that I had known about the battles you were fighting
    But I guess that you were good at hiding all the bottles and the pain
    By the time they found you lying lifeless in the hallway
    All anyone could say was it was all just such a shame
    It's all just such a shame
    Goodbye my old friend
    It's all just such a shame
    The years gone by
    It's all such a shame
    It's all just a shame
    It's all just such a goddamn shame
    There's nothing anyone can do about it now there are no answers
    I wish I could have tried but now only I find it's just too late
    When I look into your eyes, I cannot recognize you though I'm trying
    All that I can say is that it's all just such a shame
    It's all just such a shame
    Goodbye my old friend
    It's all just such a shame
    I hope it's peace you find
    It's all such a shame
    It's all just a shame
    It's all just such a goddamn shame
    It's all such a shame
    It's all just a shame
    It's all just such a goddamn shame
