Deer In Headlights

Isn't it exciting where you could've gone?
Backtracking, not completing
what's needed to be done
All the while still complaining
what you could of been
Procrastinating problems
Instead of letting new ones in
Round and round
Watch the seconds hand make the sound
Of Years sifting us by
Like the precious sands of time
So...
Where do we go now?
Where do we go from here?
Been slipping through the cracks now, we've wasted one more year
Impersonating deer in headlights, we've wasted too much time
It's time to put our lives back on the line
Is it too belated?
To forgive ourselves?
For putting life's ambitions
on a metaphoric shelf
Saying "I'll get to it tomorrow..."
then days become 10 years
Then blaming past distractions
or far too many beers
Round and round
Watch the seconds hand make the sound
Of Years sifting us by
Like the precious sands of time
So...
Where do we go now?
Where do we go from here?
Been slipping through the cracks now, we've wasted one more year
Impersonating deer in headlights, we've wasted too much time
It's time to put our lives back on the line

No Decency

You want me dead
What's not been said?
Through no decency
Just the discrepancies mislead
What's in your head?
Where all unhealthy thoughts
And insanity is bred
Where insanity is bred
Was it worth it? Did you need it?
To make your prosthetic life more fun
Portraying someone who really matters
Won’t make it to where God’s deciding from
I can't believe it took so long
For the saddest song
After all life's lines are cast
With every throw gone wrong
So wrong
For the saddest song
Portraying someone who really matters
Won’t make it where God’s deciding from Portraying someone who really matters
won’t make it when all your deeds are done
Waiting out all life’s decisions
Where God’s deciding from
I can’t believe it took so long
For the saddest song
When all life’s lines are cast
With every throw gone wrong
I can’t believe it took so long
Waiting out all life's decisions
Where God’s deciding,
God’s deciding,
God’s deciding from
God’s deciding from
I can’t believe it took so long
Waiting out all life's decisions
Where God’s deciding,
God’s deciding,
God’s deciding from

Weighing Anchors

Why don’t we cast-a-way?
Set course for new horizons,
Wash all your fears away
But first things first
Let go of all your problems
that weigh you down the worst
Set your nose to the sun
Hold fast to new beginnings
good times have just begun
Anchors aweigh
The coaming ‘round this vessel Isn’t tall enough
I’m getting battered by the waves
I’m setting sail for much bluer skies and in heart of buzzards bay
When times and tides are getting too rough and there’s nothing you can say
Just belay yourself to all your closet friends always standing at your wake
Cast-a-way
Set all your fears away
Cast-a-way
Away
Anchors aweigh
The coaming ‘round this vessel Isn’t tall enough
I’m getting battered by the waves
I’m setting sail for much bluer skies and in heart of buzzards bay
When times and tides are getting too rough and there’s nothing you can say
Just belay yourself to all your closet friends always standing at your wake
Why don’t we cast-a-way
Set course for new horizons
and just plan for your escape?
Anchors aweigh
The coaming ‘round this vessel Isn’t tall enough

Cobblestones

He's walking up the cobblestone
Trying to escape the undertow
Of weeks gone by doing the only thing he knows
The trials of the briny water
He wants to embrace his wife and daughter
But the oceans between them cast memories away
And oh the pain it rips and lingers
That tainted band upon his finger
Perhaps a few sips will make her fade away
Then says
It's 3am and all the doors are closed
In this whaling city divebar I call home
And can I think if I had another drink
Or would it take me to a place I'm not alone
And how long did she wait? He ponders
Before she missed a man upon her
Each drag he takes can't make him understand
Voices of "you married too young what were you thinking?"
Out fooling around while you were sleeping
In a small bunk just longing for the land
Stumbling from the cobblestone,
He snuck into his daughters window
Packs a small bag and takes her by the hand
One eyes more black than blue like the other
Enraged he turns on the gas then shutters,
one last drag flicks memories away

Do you suffer from sleepless nights?
Did you try with all your might?
Time after time you just can't find a place called home.
When pills and fights can be
Seen as jaded therapy
This weighted anchor's gonna
Drag you down alone...
Til you realize that...
Hey ( your emotion won't...)
Change to fight the feelings that you're better on your own
Grab a hold of your...
Reins to guide you to a better mind and better place
Grab a hold of your...
Reins... Before it's too late.
Does she hold your secrets to life?
Is it worth the sacrifice?
You were once called family
But now a fair weather friend.
Caught up of a web of lies
with shady alibis
If you agree in all we say
Then why isn't this goodbye
I just want to yell...
Hey ( your emotions won't...)
Change to fight the feelings that you're better on your own
Grab a hold of your...
Reins to guide you to a better mind and better place
Grab a hold of your...
Reins... Before it's too late.
