lyrics
I can't talk in loud places. How do I think/feel about the way people see me as a singing, paper tearing, guitar player, creative obsessive, asleep on the agenda?
Why do I feel the need to separate myself from the rest of the world?
I don't want to write the next line
About myself just to know that I thought about my priorities and try to focus on the right things.
Joyful interest distributor proud and grateful, I say it like a gangster but let us remember, that it's people are important not things. More so those we care about. Forgive me but I just started out writing and it's plain invasive. I'd rather be scraping my knee or spending the afternoon making babies, or lost in daydreams with you.
I don't want to surrender to my inner self. I just want to enter a new stage of inner wealth. No longer quite as young as when I begun, and as time moves on I must confess it's harder to have fun. With all of the pressure that life brings to bear, physical, mental, emotional cares, That affect my decisions and control my affairs, and leave me wavering between joy and despair. But when I see her face around the workshop my thoughts stop as if a penny dropped. did it?of course not. I'm going over there to talk to her now is my chance. If there was music playing I would ask her to dance.
Do you catch yourself tripping at night, riddled with doubt and uptight, you got to live your life right.
Confusion is controlled by no man, nor understanding it seems. Both have the answers and I'm learning to appreciate dreams. The type in which you set a goal and go after it, with single-minded focus and an eye for the accurate. Immaculate technique comes after great years of practice, and even then only appears when you hit bang on the axis. Practice in itself is a great form of pleasure, done in between the writing and recording at your leisure. You can learn something new for the first time only once, then it in your muscle memory and it's time to move on.
