It Goes On

I need a window, I need to shout
So tired of holding it in and never acting out.
I feel the glow all day long
The sixty cycle hum in head like a song.
It's not me. Or what I should be.
But it goes on and on and on.
I can't remember I brush it off.
Seems like yesterday never happend at all.
Another picture I'm free to fall.
Every dream is real and then I wake up alone
An honest theif. Just looking for peace.
And it goes on and on and on.
Simmering on useless streams. The time we had to dream
Every minute every day. The end is incomplete.
Nothing here is real. Nothing hear to feel.
My reception never fails.
Clean rinse and repeat every slightest detail.
Fix what's broken and out of style.
A helping hand to heal and bring back a smile.
An honest plea. Just wanting to be.
It goes on and on and on and on.

Call me the enemy call me what you like
Tell me what I mean gimme words give me screams tonight.
Call it a wall or call it a lie
It's a wicked machine that kills every last thing but your pride.
And don't think it won't work both ways, keep em out keep you in, bottled up and angry at folks you don't know. All for the sin of not believing everything that you want.
Don't say it's a lie, don't say it's goodbye, don't look away look m right in the eyes. You really need to hear it and I really need to hear it tonight.
Call me the enemy the one that never lies
you be friend too cool to ever die.
Don't admit to anything don't apologize.
Whisper what you scream cause it don't mean a thing tonight
Why can't we stop saying goodbye stop wishing we'd tried stopped all of the pain that kept us on different sides
War without a villain and peace without killing each side.
It's not enough to get by let alone to survive please don't look away look me right in the eye
You really need you hear it I really need to hear it tonight.
Call me the enemy on the other side. But don't say I don't care.
I might be the enemy without even trying
I hope it's a lie you don't buy until I see you again.

It's too late to be great. I'm too old to be young.
And I know I'm too fat to be a model.
Time keeps ticking away and I feel out of place
And I wanna get out of this race.
The shadows at play and the demons today
They only wanna bring you down.
They just circle around til you ache to be found
They only wanna bring you down.
Everything that I say just gets turned into clay and I never get back to where I started.
All the words are arrayed and they all got a blade and I know they're all coming my way.
Sometimes it feels like a car full of clowns
That only want to bring you down.
Painted up to the 9's but they screwed up the signs.
They only want to bring you down.
Life is always a rush. Run too fast say too much
But you never get back to where you started.
It's all up then it's down. Fake your feelings for now.
And then later you can be who you want.
All of the egos that get in the way.
They only want to bring you down.
They just suck all the life out of every win
They only want to bring you down.

A true artist in the mold of Townes Van Zandt. But so much more. A wealth of great music waits for you in this link.
