WHAT AM I GONNA DO BLUES
I STOOD IN THE SHADOWS
DOWN THE DARKEST ROAD THE MOON ROSE FULL, THE TREES CREAKED AND MOANED I WAS ALONE WITH MY FEAR WITH NOWHERE TO GO
A FOG JUST HUNG FILLED
WITH WHISPERS AND LIES IT PLAYED WITH MY HEAD AND PLAYED TRICKS ON MY EYES MY THOUGHTS WERE RACING,
I WAS PRAYING FOR THE LIGHT GOT THEM WHERE DID THE
TIME GO, TOO MANY DAYDREAMS,
LORD WHAT AM I GONNA DO BLUES… TIME WAS SUSPENDED, I WISHED THERE WAS SOMEONE TO TELL HOW DESPERATE I’D BECOME, HOW ABANDONED I FELT THE NIGHT WENT ON AND
ON, I LET GO OF MYSELF
FALLING
AWAKE THE WINDING STAIRS
LEAD NOWHERE I CLIMB AND I CLIMB
BUT THEY JUST GO ON I
THINK OF TURNING BACK I
THINK OF GIVING UP, I WONDER WHY I’M HERE AND THINK OF YOU… AM I FALLING AWAY, OR FALLING AWAKE IT’S HARD RIGHT NOW TO TELL WHICH WAY IS TRUE I CAN SEE YOU IN MY MIND EACH TIME YOU COME AND YOU GO, THE HIGHER I
CLIMB… A MEMORY ELUDES ME,
I KEEP THINKING WAS
IT SOMETHING YOU SAID? IT’S IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD ALL BUT GONE I REMEMBER STARTING OUT, AND I KNOW WHERE I AM BUT NOT MUCH IN-BETWEEN… THERE IS NO END WHEN YOU’RE RUNNING AWAY ONLY MORE STAIRS, AND THAT FEELING YOU GET RIGHT BEFORE YOU FALL I GUESS I’LL SIT HERE AWHILE, PONDER
MY DECISIONS AND
TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL…

I'VE BEEN DISENFRANCHISED, REVILED AND HATED PROMISED BETTER DAYS THEN STOOD AROUND WAITIN' I WAS YOUNG AND NAIVE AND LOOKING FOR REASON PLAYING BY THE RULES OF ANOTHER'S INVENTION THE PATH BEFORE ME IS ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS PASS ME THAT JOINT AND I'LL DISAPPEAR... I'VE BEEN EVANGELIZED, AND CRITICIZED ABANDONED BY THE LEFT, ATTACKED ON THE RIGHT SORTED, DISTORTED, AND CATEGORIZED OUTSIDE LOOKING IN, FOREVER ASKING WHY I COULD TRULY CARE LESS WHICH SIDE ANYBODY'S ON PASS ME THAT JOINT I'M MOVING ON... I'VE BEEN POLARIZED, AND OSTRICIZED MY EVERY THOUGHT POLITICIZED TO GET TO THE TRUTH YOU GOTTA SIFT THROUGH SOME LIES WHAT CAN YOU DO, BUT LIVE YOUR LIFE NOTHING REALLY CHANGES, IT JUST SEEMS THAT WAY PASS ME THAT JOINT, I GOT NOTHING LEFT TO SAY...

TRAIN TO ANYWHERE THE TWO OF US CAN BREATHE LET’S SEE HOW FAR IT TAKES US WHEREVER THAT MIGHT BE IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TWO OF US MAKING WHAT WE CAN WITH WHAT WE GOT LET’S
WILE AWAY THE HOURS AND
SLEEP TIL WE AWAKE COME AND GO LIKE WANDERERS NEVER LOOKING PASSED TODAY IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TWO OF US MAKING WHAT WE CAN WITH WHAT WE GOT LET’S HOLE UP IN THE SUNSHINE PROCEED
WITHOUT A PLAN LIVIN LIKE WE OWN THE
PLACE JUST BECAUSE WE CAN IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TWO OF US MAKING WHAT WE CAN WITH WHAT WE GOT
LOST IN THE FOG I’M
SOMEWHERE, LOST IN THE FOG OF WHAT ONCE WAS JUST BECAUSE A
PIECE OF MYSELF LIES HIDDEN, IT’S COME UP MISSING I TRY AND TRY, BUT I JUST
CAN’T REMEMBER… I’M SOMEWHERE WHERE THERE ARE NO EXPLANATIONS JUST
INFORMATION WHERE EVERY WORD IS A CONTRADICTION, A MISINTERPRETATION OF
A NOTION THAT EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT… THE ANSWER OF ANSWERS, A QUESTION THAT LAUGHS NO
MATTER WHO ASKS, AND DESPITE OF THE FACTS THE QUESTION OF QUESTIONS, AN ANSWER THAT
SEEMS TO REACH NO CONCLUSION ABOUT ANYTHING… I’M
SOMEWHERE, IT DON’T MATTER WHERE I’M OVER HERE BECAUSE I’M NOT
OVER THERE WHERE THE PEOPLE THINK IN CIRCLES, WATCH COMMERCIALS AND
BUILD WHAT CAN ONLY FALL APART… SOMEWHERE MY LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN SOMEWHERE
MY LIFE HAS COME UNDONE…

LIFE GOES ON ANYWAY SOMETIMES
LIFE JUST GOES AROUND IT CIRCLES AND COMES BACK AROUND IT
PICKS US UP, THEN DRAGS US DOWN WE KISS THE SKY, THEN HIT THE GROUND LIFE
GOES ON ANYWAY… SOMETIMES THOUGHTS JUST SPIN AROUND FAST,
THEN SLOW, THEN IN, THEN OUT LEADING US PLACES WE CAN’T BE FOUND BRINGING
US HOME TO WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT LIFE GOES ON ANYWAY… IT
IS WHAT IT IS, NO PROMISE IS MADE WHEN NOTHING ELSE MATTERS, LIFE GOES ON ANYWAY… SOMETIMES
WE GET TO WHERE WE WANT TO BE WE LINGER AWHILE, THEN TURN AND LEAVE FOR
SOMETHING BETTER, OR SO IT ALWAYS SEEMS WE LOVE, WE HATE, GIVE UP, AND DREAM LIFE
GOES ON ANYWAY… SOMETIMES WE ARE WHO WE THINK WE ARE WE
OVERTHINK, AND TRY TOO HARD WE WORRY ABOUT NOTHING, THEN PONDER THE STARS WE
FLY SO HIGH, THEN FALL SO FAR LIFE GOES ON ANYWAY…
AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES, HARD T' LET THINGS
GO AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES, WHEN YOU'RE ALL ALONE AIN'T IT HARD
SOMETIMES T' JUST LAY LOW AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE ALL ALONE... AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES, WHEN YOUR TRUE LOVE IS GONE AIN'T IT HARD
SOMETIMES, T' HEAR A SAD SAD SONG AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES T' JUST LAY LOW AIN'T IT
HARD SOMETIMES T' HEAR A SAD SAD SONG… AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES WHEN YOU FEEL WHEN YOU FEEL THERE'S SOMETHIN'
LEFT T' FIND AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES WHEN YOU THINK WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE LOSING YOUR MIND... AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES, HARD
T' KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD AIN'T IT HARD
SOMETIMES T' JUST LAY LOW AIN'T IT HARD SOMETIMES...KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD...
IF IT’S ALRIGHT IF IT’S ALRIGHT, IF IT’S ALRIGHT I’LL
CHOOSE TO DREAM NEATH THE SKY OF BLUE IF IT’S ALRIGHT, I’LL CLOSE MY
EYES SEE WHAT I SEE WHEN I DREAM OF YOU… IF
IT’S ALRIGHT, IF IT’S ALRIGHT I’LL THINK WHATEVER THOUGHTS ARE PASSING
THROUGH IF IT’S ALRIGHT, I’LL LOOK INSIDE SEE
WHAT I SEE WHEN I THINK OF YOU
IF IT’S ALRIGHT I THINK
I’LL STAY AND DREAM WITH YOU FOR ONE MORE DAY IF IT’S ALRIGHT, IF IT’S ALRIGHT BEEN
THROUGH ENOUGH FOR THIS LIFE, OR TWO IF IT’S ALRIGHT, I’LL LEAVE IT BEHIND SEE
WHAT I SEE IN A LIFE WITH YOU… IF IT’S ALRIGHT, IF IT’S ALRIGHT SEE
WHAT I SEE WHEN I THINK OF YOU IF IT’S ALRIGHT, IF IT’S ALRIGHT SEE
WHAT I SEE WHEN I DREAM OF YOU…
THE PRICE TO UNDERSTAND THEY’VE DIMMED THE STARS, ENSLAVED THE SUN DAMMED
THE RIVERS WHERE THE WATERS RUN THEY’VE CAPTURED THE WIND, MADE LIFE IN A GLASS RACED
TOWARDS THE FUTURE WHILE FORGETTING THE PAST ALTERED OUR WORLD DOWN TO THE LAST BLADE OF GRASS IT FALLS SOMEWHERE IN THE “I’M
NOT SURE” THE PRICE TO UNDERSTAND THE WALLS COME
DOWN NO MATTER WHAT WE DO THE PRICE TO UNDERSTAND THE UNIVERSE GROWS, THEY WANT TO KNOW WHY HOW
IT BEGAN, AND HOW IT WILL DIE THE ANSWERS KEEP CHANGING, THE SAME QUESTIONS GET ASKED MORE TESTS ARE
PERFORMED, MORE ATOMS ARE SMASHED KNOWLEDGE IS KING, BUT KINGS NEVER LAST UNLOCKING SECRETS, CHASING DREAMS, MYSTERIES THE
PRICE TO UNDERSTAND CRACKING CODES, SEEKING TRUTH, ABSOLUTES THE
PRICE TO UNDERSTAND…
EPILOG IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY, LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT BRUSH OFF THE DUST AND LEAVE THE MILES BEHIND GET SOME REST AND IN THE MORNING LIGHT HEAD ON DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN...IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY
