Fateless

I was so sorry when I heard of your disaster
No one should feel aimless through the night
You don’t have to live a life in plaster
You can’t just paint on your own face
Even if you think you’ve found the right shade
There’ll be someone telling you that you should be afraid
I keep facing the same old lessons
I never seem to learn them right
Now I know that there's no need for guessing
I won't hold on so tight
Even when I’m confronted by the demons of the past
I can close my eyes and see the darkness doesn’t last
My neighbour finally got her palm read
He said everyone has to choose
So she told herself it was in her head
But we’re not all fateless as all that
Even though they make believe that we are all alone
There’s no feeling like knowing you are going home
So maybe I’m a flower today
And tomorrow I will wither
You can be a piece of cake
And then just be a slither
The nature of impermanence
That’s a great experience
And if we all die alone
We can die together
And if we all die alone
We are home

Not A Fighter

Still see the photos of the first life I was living
Seems like lately, the only feeling I’m giving is missing you
I’m sorry for the words I wrote about you
But because of the static it didn’t all come through
And I know I know you’re thankful for that
Despite all that I hid in my hat
Where I pulled out the words to describe
How falling in love made us both feel alive
So not all break ups are destined for sadness
I missed you terribly but I am filled with gladness, no more waiting
Those dreams are really just nightmares
So don’t let it change you now that somebody cares
And I know l know I refused to sink
But I’m an anchor weighing myself down
Until I drown from these burdens I have made
I’m a writer, not a fighter
I’m not easily captured by the light
I guess I’ve never seen it burning so bright
So don’t tell me I’m your everything
Cause it don’t mean a thing
And I’m not falling down this time
I see the photos of the new life I’m living
For once in my life, I’ll just be forgiving me
I am wise now because I know what it’s like to be a fool
I am brave now because I know I have been scared

Baggage

There goes another one
Before it begun
I watched him walk away from me
Well, it won’t be long
Until I catch another one
Watch him as he comes to me
So there’s baggage baggage baggage we all carry
There’s damage damage damage you can bury
Even with the other one
The time will come
I’ll watch him as he strays from me
Well, it ain’t easy
When he says he needs me
Watch him as he comes undone
So there’s bad dreams bad dreams bad dreams we all carry
There’s torn seams torn seams torn seams you can bury
What is inside of you?
What is inside of you?
What is inside of you - is it inside of me?
Cause if are the next one
Until it’s done
I’ll watch you as comfort me
Well, you take your time
As you make the steady climb
Watch you as you come to stay
So there’s patterns patterns patterns we all carry
There’s memories memories memories you can bury
Cause there’s magic magic magic we all carry
And this bad spell bad spell bad spell is just temporary
