FYI ( a rock song )
When I said, “for your information”
you thought I was being snarky
but I was trying to be helpful
in the shortest way I knew
when you said “clarify the motive”
you said, I was being nosy
you thought I was acting pushy
Have i really crossed that line ?
Chorus:
because i just do not understand how to talk to you
everything I say, gets turned around and misconstrued
it’s in one ear and turned upside down
you are the strangest neighbor in this whole town
when i say “hey man, how you doing?”
and you say, “how is that your business?”
and I say, “man, I’m just your neighbor”.
and you say “stop harassing me”.
I say “up” and you hear “go”
I say “hi” and you say no, no, no! (Thanks John & Paul)
Why did you say it like that?
like what?
like that.

I did it right
You dressed in white
And on that day
You walked away
Satellite, am I to blame
Satellite, do you see the same
As she does
I ponder why
Was it a lie
There was no sign
You were never mine
Satellite, am I to blame
Satellite, do you see the same
As she does
The love we had
Must've been in my head
Was it ever real
Did you even feel
Satellite, am I to blame
Satellite, do you see the same
As she does

it's mid october and taxes are due
the sky takes on a different hue
my mind recedes into the day-to-day
but I'm brought back by you
It's late in autumn and groceries are thin
laid off from another job again
my mind looks to the weeks ahead
feel the fears of weaker men
and life goes on
it's another christmas and I look to the skies
no hope for joy or any more lies
no man in the sky to rain down peace
cannot look in my children's eyes
It's a new year and hope abounds
this sinking ship has run aground
clear the decks of the worries and frets
we have found solid land, we're all safe and sound
and life goes on
we never know what the future holds
we can only read as the pages unfold
a story is made richer by conflict and strife
to tell the tale to the teller too tall to be told
Take the reins my boy, this story is your own
with your boundless future, your seeds yet sown
take nothing for granted, leave no stone unturned
keep your mind on the edge, let life be the hone
for life goes on

We were building a ship
We finished on a red skied morning
With Old wood from old trees fastened tight
Out To claim old seas
With 2 captains, no crew
We both knew what we were getting into
The boat would capsize if we weren't in tune
We've come a long way
Through stormy, trouble seas
Days with no wind
And nights below freezing
Come tomorrow, the sun will rise over the horizon
Spreading light across the silence
We were sailing a ship
We landed on a red skied night
A strange land in midst of
Littered with remains of other ships
With 2 captains, no crew
We both knew what we were getting into
A new home, a fresh start, is finally in veiw
We've come a long way
Through stormy, troubled seas
Days with no wind
And nights below freezing
Come tomorrow, the sun will rise over the horizon
Spreading light across the silence

Walking backwards everyday
Wondering if the past is gone
Why do they run away?
Why won't the moments hold on?
*Chorus*
He's yesterday man
He's yesterday man
You can't understand
The yesterday man
He wants so badly
To hold on to his youth
When he was not so weary
Or so long in the tooth
*Chorus*
*Bridge*
You know it goes by so quickly
Oh, it's gone so fast
Wake up one morning
And your best days are past
*Chorus*

I cannot open my windows, but I can see the sun
my pace may have slowed, but my heart can still run
away from the stillness and same thing each day
up into the heavens, up and free from its sway
free from its sway
free from its sway
I cannot read the fine print, but I can hear the song
my step may have slowed, but my pace is still strong
away from the hurry, and the loss in the fray
up above the worries, up and free from your sway
free from its sway
free from its sway
don't hold on tighter
rather let it all free
don't squeeze until the life's gone
rather, set it all free
free from its sway
free from its sway

I hope that you don't mind
But I have added another heart
'Cause mine is breaking when yours is breaking
And my soul stumbles in the dark
And every little inch of me is being pulled apart
And I might fade away
I might run in place
I know it's now your turn
And I am willing to step aside
From the good times & the bad times
And the ones that will remind
Me of the part of my intention
I was having trouble finding
Before I fade away
Before I run in place
Before the weather trips & turns
The ocean on its head
Until the ups & downs can quench
The secret storms instead
And when the life & times are filled with
Nothing but fear & dread
You will run in place
You will fade away
We'll tighten the locks & wash the walls
With the colors of the sun
The aftershocks & bitter cold have only just begun
We take our marks but we won't wait
For the sound of the starting gun
And we will run in place
But we won't fade away

Change is not so easy,
But usually for me, Excited for the opportunity
Also feeling anxious, nervous and free
What is in the future, well that I guess we'll see
All gonna be alright
All gonna be alright
Say it tonight
say it one more time
2x
What's next?
For us?
Used to be so fearless never had a care
Confident the path I take would get me there
Still that same old kid at heart But lots of things have changed
Never felt this questioning uncertainty
All gonna be ok
All gonna be ok
Say it in the morning
Say it all day!
Middle:
Hold my breath
No take a breath
Know we are in a good place haven't got there yet
Hold tight
Just might
And hugs will always make it alright!

I was a half mile gone and a long-night’s lost
Walking down the road out of town
I smoked a shot-up cigar, I thought about my old car
I wondered where I lost my crown
I mighta seen a better hour if that bottle were full
or even if it held a drop
but I’ll swear it went this way, til my dying day
unless you got better to swap
never can find you
anywhere that I might roam
one step closer and
a thousand miles farther from home
I couldn’t tell you when the sound of that sweet summer breeze
took a little harmony
a third of whistles and shouts, a fifth of whiskey and stout
and a rumbling bass, sound like the sea
I saw a little stir of something like a firefly buzzing
Grew into a halo of sparks
out on the cold green horizon, I could feel my blood arising
like the Bigfoot left by the Ark
must be my fault, yeah
something in my chromosomes
one step closer and
a thousand miles farther from home
and as I got a little closer I got lost in the brush
caught up in the coppice and bramble
some kind of tent show, freak flow, couldn’t trust my eyes
crazy kind of midnight ramble
Suddenly I knew I’d never wanted anything
the way I had to catch up with you
whatever strange kind of cirque, I'm the world’s biggest jerk
if I couldn’t make the rendezvous
can’t get that taste gone
sweeter than a honeycomb
one step closer and
a thousand miles farther from home
when I woke up next morning all covered in dust
stinking like a bottle of gin
there was an aching in my gut and a limp in my strut
for what must’ve been original sin
and I don’t ‘spose I’m ever gonna see it’s like again
I’ll just keep on wandering high and low
with memories of that ghostly greatest show on earth
and dreaming of the afterglow
never can find you
anywhere that I might roam
one step closer and
a thousand miles farther from home

Your picture is still on my wall
Still in my mind and still in my song
I dreamed of paralysis while you were walking away
I came apart after we both turned the key
Before we were born I was learning to tie my shoe strings
But I fell asleep before learning to keep you awake
So I started doing math with an Abacus
and I'm still counting back, back to the present tense
back when the wheels would turn, and the water ran
When I was sick to death, but our life was grand
You looked your best in those ragged old shirts and new shoes
when you locked all of your sunday best in those old dusty drawers
I can't remember when I ever wanted you more
And as the sun went down, with my head a mess
I met the Montagues and cursed the Capulets
and as I took the wheel all the blood was shed
so we just raised our glass and we drank to death
guess we missed our mark when taking a stand
you took your place behind the marching band
I won the lottery but my money's spend
Now I'm just digging dirt, and I'm soaking wet
You marched the capital screaming of politics
I threw it all away with my innocence
The end of Dialysis was a fucking mess

Suuusun - what was a day
03:15

You eye the stars above for plans that glow
Some astral calendar made long ago
But when they fail to show
Please know that you don't know
For what was a day before we did run
What was it before the sun
Ellipsed around the milky way,
And we basked in it once in a day
The time is ending soon you say you read
Just like those yesterdays you were misled
Reality is wrong
Keep following along
For what was a day before we did run
What was it before the sun
Ellipsed around the milky way,
And we basked in it once in a day
