Wrote this with my brother the other night, he is a musician and we wrote these as lyrics while he made the tune. I will upload it later if he gets me a copy.

Hello

- – -

My name is unannounced

and I come hearing a sweet beat for you

And it flows like

-

Jell-O

- – -

Specifically the green kind

But that’s too far off topic to matter

To us so

-

Mellow

- – -

By sitting in our armchairs

Imagining the world to come

And it looks so

-

Shallow

- – -

But I’m pleasantly surprised

To find the glass can never be too full

- = – = – = -

Even though we settle so soon

Love it for three weeks

And then rename it

To forget how

-

Hollow

- – -

It really is inside

But the mirror’s made of painted glass

 - = – = – = -

Of life I’ve wondered

What we want

While it certainly is challenging

There must be more than what it seems

-

Lets examine our lives when we were kids

We find bruises scrapes and cuts

And my goldfish Tim

Who likes to swim in circles cause the worlds too big

But he only swims clockwise cause he’s missing a fin

-

But he

- =

Speeds up

- =

Grows legs

- =

Takes form

- =

And he

- =

Gets lost

- =

Plays god

- =

Gets born

- = – = – = -

Yet he loses sight of clarity

And succumbs to the apathy

Of time in all its brevity

At every opportunity to

-

Return

- – -

To the Jell-O whose convictions become less firm

As it softly falls on flowers wearing    f r e s h   s n o w

- = – = – = -

Goodbye

- – -

I’ll be missing you for years to come

On lets go fishing we might catch us something bitchin’

About

Why don’t

We just pretend everything is fine

- =

Why don’t

We just take a number get in line

- =

Why don’t

We search for truth inside our blackest lies

- = – =

How else

To find true purpose in these fading lives
