Accidentally Blown

Accidentally Blown
(MUSIC VIDEO OFFLINE)
I'm an emotional man
I've had the most of my lifespan
I tried not to hide
Inside a book on a nightstand
As soon as I say
I've got my hands on my reins
I'm running wild again
It's gonna drive me insane
I worry a lot
My eyes are all bloodshot
Trained on a lane
With calamity so fraught
The light at the end
Has got to fight its way in
Before I go for a spin
Or even know to begin

I'm crying out loud
When I'd be better off silent
I think I'm allowed to
All alone on an island
There's always the chance
That the plea will be heeded
By a ship in my zone
Accidentally blown

I need a new goal
To hold me together
Defences against
The threat of inclement weather

It could be a while
Before the fog will have lifted
Far enough to determine
How far I have drifted

It is not for me
To pass any sentence
The people are free
To act in their own best interests
And if they decide
To take it out on the hide
Of the one who would play them
I would not delay them
But I in my fear
And I in my blindness
Could well have caused bloodshed
From a motive of kindness
I cannot return
To the time of my erring
Make a different choice
For a pummeled fool's sparing

I'm crying out loud
When I'd be better off silent
I think I'm allowed to
All alone on an island
There's always the chance
That the plea will be heeded
By a ship in my zone
Accidentally blown

Aggression-Depression

Aggression-Depression
See the people running back and forth
Never see how much a day is worth
When the one in front lands on the ground
Jams the traffic back all over town

Carry me high, harry me low
Hit me where the sun don't show
Answer me why, talk to me slow
Act as if I did not know

Got their priorities in such a bind
I'm a minority, the aimless kind
Got my reality upended right
My personality all fenced in tight

Harry me high, carry me low
Hit me where the sun don't show
Answer me why, talk to me slow
Tell me where my love should go

(Murmured melancholy...)

If the things that I wanted
Are what you'd expect
It'll take a good while to catch onto it
No one will tell me yet
Sometimes I wish they would have murdered me instead
Better than living in this condition

(More murmured melancholy...)

If I knew I was giving
The best that I had
I could have been proud for a minute
It would have made me glad
Turns out that looking back is only looking bad
Less than a respite from this depression

All My Money

All My Money
What did you do with all my money?
I'm sick and tired of being hungry
Whatever made you think it's so damn funny?
How long did you intend to keep it from me?

Do you keep it in case I might like to spend
A little to pay back my overdue friend?
Do you think it's a waste to have something nice
Instead of the breadcrumbs to share with the mice?

She's as adorable as a bunny
And unapproachable as she shuns me
Expect me to let you see the side that's sunny
Sitting there so carefree with all my money

Are you waiting for me with my neck in a rope
A fit of frustration while crushing my hope?
And say it was saved to pay for my grave
A tombstone that boasts 'he gave and he gave'?
Do you keep it in case I might like to spend
A little to pay back my overdue friend?
Do you think it's a waste to have something nice?
I ask for it once, I scream for it twice

Apostrophe Unneeded

Apostrophe Unneeded
No miss in eyeing the signpost ahead
No use denying the way that I tread
The road drawing near would be made out of gold
The load would appear to be painlessly towed

Go down, land with a frown
All in playing to win again
Soon comes a way through the wall
New day waving me over
Make my circle complete
With an end worth repeating
And try to remember where the trouble spots lie

The wind may be flagging in days up ahead
No sense to be dragging a mantle of lead
No manifold reason to pick up my heel
No standing still freezing, a good enough deal

Disastrously shameless
Presumptuously blameless
A masterpiece created
Catastrophe awaited

I'm back on my pedestal, I'm finding my mark
I'm doing my best not to glow in the dark
To stay unconnected a labour for sure
The way I'm directed into taking this tour

Soon I'm out of my bind
Sunshine calling me over
Make my circle complete
With the end worth repeating
Great line, live for today
All in trying to win again
Soon climb over the wall
Sunshine hauling me over

Arise

Arise
Saw you there on the stair
Favourite place for meeting
Saw you more passing my door
Though the glimpse was fleeting

It might look like a forgettable life
Children's games are better than nothing
I don't expect a prize I'll get
When I never did one thing
Left the telephone ringing

It's a mistake that he made
But he probably didn't mean it
And now he won't be afraid
He found nothing to contravene it
Keeping the lights out
Waiting the nights out

Glad you had to
Put the mishap behind you
Change mind all the time
Still trying to help me find you

No friend days on end
Made them interesting
Stood by acting shy
Kept the faithful guessing

You're wrong to think I'm happy this way
But I know what I'd be missing
You have to let me have the freedom to play
If you want to see something

See you down in the town
See them flutter all around you
New day on the way
Destiny already found you
Glad you had to
Put the mishap behind you
Change mind all the time
Still trying to help me find you

Assault

Assault
Sometimes I need reminding
Why I am holding out
Then as soon as I see you
I just have to believe you
Cannot see past this grave uncertainty
How will I find the end?
Will it even be worth it to me?

I always start to wonder
When I'm away too long
As I fight to gain headway
Got to get through the next day
There's a way to remove all room for doubt
Let me loom at large til the last one has been driven out

You know just how to keep me distracted
There with charades transparently acted
Sauntering down a flowery lane
Nothing to say, having a grand day

I know where I am going
I hope you will be there
Not a thing will be lacking
And forget about packing

Short of breath, no rest chasing a runaway
Cannot pull ahead when they're taking your fun away
Kill the lights, perfect night for a holiday
Cling to me tightly, wouldn't want you to fall away
