Our Own Kind

We've been blinded by things disguised as true.
People lie as they try to dim the light.
Open eyes and arms help us fight the dark.
Only kindness helps us strive to come alive.
Such is life, but we'll survive.
Take the time to ease the mind.
We're all tryin' to find our own kind of truth.
We're all tryin' to find peace of mind.

Can of worms opened up on me,
Straight to my eyes and right between.
A blind spot is right in front of me,
I guess it isn't what I think it means.
Stubbed my toe, now I'm on my face.
Forgotten how it felt 'til recent days.
Funny how it pours when it rains,
All this thinking driving me insane.
I got a question:
Can you help me understand where all this comes from?
I could surely use a hand.
Met a healer on a sunny day,
She dug her heels and stayed very late.
I saw a ghost on the seventh day,
Now I know the source of all my pain.
I've been stuck trying to peel away,
The layers stuck inside the back of my brain.
Can of worms, nothing much to say,
But I'll try to do it anyway.
Will I ever find out how to let all of this go?
If I ask a question, will I get no answer?
False evidence appearing real,
I may have fooled myself and that's the deal.
The only thing I can do is,
Face Everything And Recover.

Under Attack

Heavy sigh,
In spite of all the things I do.
Yeah, I try,
But there's no getting through.
Don't know why,
Is this a thing that people do to my mind?
I'm always stuck waiting here.
I don't even know if it's worth my time to make a thing out of this.
I'm getting tired of feeling like I'm under attack.
Will I find the love that's meant to be?
So much time,
Or is it running out on me?
You can try,
To make the choice you think is true.
Or goodbye,
Will I still be waiting here?
I don't even know if it's worth my time to make a thing out of this.
I'm getting tired of feeling like I'm under attack from something so easy to miss.

Be Careful

I see you in the doorway,
You're waving me through.
Givin' me an answer for makin' a move.
I think I wanna keep it,
But will it be mine?
My face hits the window every single time.
This whole world's got me feelin' strange,
Every day a new start.
It's something I don't wanna change,
But please be careful with my heart.
Can you hear me through the ether,
Playing the blues?
Maybe you don't need me as much as I don't need you.
Are there only accidents?
Or is it by design?
When I say I love you, I won't lie.
There's no need to be feelin' strange,
It's never too late to start.
But I know you don't wanna change,
So please be careful with my heart.
This whole world's got me feelin' strange,
Every single day a new start.
But I know you don't wanna change,
So please be careful with my heart,
Please be careful with my heart.

The Truth

I'll reset my expectations so I won't be disappointed again,
Thought I left behind the demons but they always want to seem to be my friends,
I can start from the beginning and it won't be long before I reach the end.
Well I met a girl on Friday and I learned a bit too much about myself,
Never seen her on a Tuesday and confusion had me sitting on the shelf,
Then she ran away on Thursday and it's safe to say it didn't end well.
Gave up all my energy,
Forever burned this memory in my head.
If you thought it wouldn't work, what makes you think it's any different this time?
To expose yourself completely with the hope that someone else can see the truth,
Now I'm dealing with a conflict and I'm made to sound like I am telling lies.
Well we know she ran away and legend has it she's still running to this day,
She had burned up all her bridges and she moved out to the country in May,
And now my heart breaks into tiny pieces, I can barely recognize the shape.
Yesterday is history,
I'll never solve this mystery again, whoa no.
I went to the cemetery, saw my sister getting buried today.

WILL THIS MAKE ME GOOD
by Nick Hakim
As soon as the verse starts in the song "QADIR" by Nick Hakim, I was sucked in. Then I heard "ALL THESE INSTRUMENTS" and I knew I was in for a treat. What really got me, though, was "BOUNCING."
