Oh when I was young, I had two dear friends
Through fire and through flames yeah we all became men
It was a life, it was a party, it was every day
But in the later years, well we went our separate ways
We were the three great amigos
Caught in the rain
Sailing our ships through the joy and the pain
Now that two are long gone why am I the one who remains
Well J was the wild one, the life of the crowd
He lived on the edge and he lived so aloud
But in his soul there was a struggle, the opposite of thrills
J left this world beside a bottle of pills
We were the three great amigos
Caught in the rain
Sailing our ships through the joy and the pain
Now that two are long gone why am I the one who remains
Now Fish was the funny one, he had a smile and a half
When together in a room, man, we couldn't help but laugh
But he bottled his emotion, it wasn't all fun
Well Fish left this world by the barrel of a gun
We were the three great amigos
Caught in the rain
Sailing our ships through the joy and the pain
Now that two are long gone why am I the one who remains
Oh was it all fate
Was it all choices
In the mirror I stare
I can hear their voices
Small circles of life
Feelings in excess
Oh will I stand in light
Or will I fall in darkness

Heredity
I see myself in you
And it may not be the way that others do
But everything that you love I love too
Like mommy, and puppy, and your favorite yellow bunny
That kind of smells, but no-one cares to launder
Like the sun and the breeze blowing through the trees
And an open field for little feet to wander
It may be in our genes
But when you make a choice it always seems
Like I can guess which way you’ll tend to lean
I see myself in you
And it may not be the way that others do
But everything that you love I love too
Like apples and napping, like music and like clapping
And being brave in the face of danger
Like swimming and snacking, peek-a-boo and laughing
Passing time waving at strangers
I see myself in you
And it may not be the way that others do
But everything that you love, I love too
Everything seems clearer when you’ve got your little mirror
To remind you how important
The little things can be
It may be in our genes
But when you make a choice it always seems
Like I can guess which way you’ll tend to lean
I see myself in you
And it may not be the way that others do
But everything that you love I love too
Everything that you love I love too
But not half as much as I love you

She looked in the mirror, didn't like what she saw, she almost cried.
Someone told her maybe you just need to see it from the other side.
It seemed like a strange request , but what the heck?
So she tried, she's not come back even yet.
The other side.
He was never confident enough to stay.
Always assumed that no one saw him anyway.
When he tried the other side he had to smile.
He's still there and has been now for quite a while.
The other side.
The other side is seldom seen, but always dreamed.
Chances won, so often no one dared redeem.
There but by the grace of God we all would go.
Give a nod to all the ones you used to know.
The other side.
They were always different, and they knew they were.
But they found the other side, and it changed their world.
It's not easy seeing from the other side.
But they found it worth it, and they're glad they tried,
The other side.

Don’t want to go too deep
Each day is hard enough
Why wonder what it all means
When you can chase a buzz?
If living has no meaning
What point is there to be?
Better just to sleepwalk
Than to face reality
I’d rather be high Than find who I am
It’s simple to fly And not give a damn
I’d rather not knowWhat good I can be
Time for that has passed, now it’s easier to sleep
You may have a point But what if you’re wrong?
And life is a joy You can ride along?
Just take a step Out of your self
See how we all live When our spark isn’t quelled
In the mirror you’ll spy
If you do what you can
A new way to try
To better understand
And the farther you go
The more you will see
That the love you’ve amassed is all that you need

I look inside
My heart of hearts
Pray for strength
I haven’t got
I see my soul
All stained in ink
The vows I made
From which I shrink
I spoke those words
As soft as snakes
Might as well have roared
As earth will quake
For deeds once done
Will surely out
Will leave their mark
I have no doubt
I walk these streets
In the suit of a free man
Nobody sees
I’ll pay no fee, man
I can’t escape
These secret cages
I’ll never spend
These stolen wages
Stood at the fork
Of a road well-traveled
Chose passing poor
And my life unraveled
On the edge of night
Where a man gets tested
I met my demons
Found myself bested
I hear the hounds
Not yet at bay
But still I walk
Cold light of day
Is the stain less black
That no one sees
Or does the pain run deeper
That’s sole for me?
I walk these streets
In the suit of a free man
Nobody sees
I’ll pay no fee, man
I can’t escape
These secret cages
I’ll never spend
These stolen wages

I know it's got you going, my Contemptative Baby
I wish that I could help you, 'cause you've been a friend to me
But I ain't don't have an answer to a knot-tied baggie
Don't take a "Mirror, Mirror" for any friend too see
Nose down ain't a flattering relection
Nose down is how Peter pays Paul
Nose down is'a forced introspection
Nose down ain't no good way to fall
Thinking about your Sister, and the way she drove to help you
Think about your Boyfriend, and the way he drove you crazy
Think about your Mama, how she drove you to the city
Think about your Daddy, and how long he's been gone
Nose down ain't a flattering relection
Nose down is how Peter pays Paul
Nose down if forced introspection
Nose down ain't no good way to fall
Nose down ain't an accurate reflection
Nose down- how Saul flipped the script to Paul
Nose down is a forced perspective
Nose down ain't no way...

reflection in the crystal terminal self
we shall depart
reflection in the crystal terminal self
a cross on the table, a blueish tear
not but an unrequited love
gone with the wind
to forever meander
the shadow fades
a cross on the table, a blueish tear
in the end, the shadow fades
to forever diverge
This will be the last you hear from me,
to forever silence
you once promised me until the end of time
in the end, darkness descends
in the end, the shadow fades
Only a memory.

I’ve been meaning to get this down on track
I’ve been wondering what to say
I’ve been taking my time to make my move
Cause there’s always another day
Had a whole lot of things on tap last week
But a bit of a one track mind
And you’ll see what my brain refused to leave
And what other things fell behind
And I don’t know why
And I don’t know why
Well I love when I get the fire lit
I’ll dive into the rabbit hole
But there’s something that I’ve been working on
That is taking a bigger hold
All the time that it takes to save my pride’s
Getting harder to justify
But I’m banging the keys at 2am
Writing something to stay alive
