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
