Yes, I knew better
with every fiber of my being
I just couldn’t stop the show
even if I’d wanted to
The dancers danced regardless
while the showmen sang,
underpaid and underdressed
If nothing, I knew better
than to give them validation
or the contents of my soul.
If you’re not sure
then pause, wait
and listen to the sounds
of conscious—nothing—ness.
Nothing’s ever easy
And nothing’s ever free
No one’s ever happy
Unless another’s on their knees
Try your best to feel fine
Try your best to speak
Someone’s always coming round
With the answer like a creep
Cause nothing’s ever easy
Nothing’s ever free
Take two for your headache
Take five just to fall asleep
Try your best to ration
Try your best to feed
The world’s always been hungry
We’ve always had food to eat
Cause nothing’s ever easy
And nothing’s ever free
But son if you are honest
It’s there you’ll start to see
Words can fuel an army
Where the hells that apostrophe?
Dialect can save you
What’s left is up to me
In silence there is virtue
Inside you learn to breathe
No matter where life takes you
No matter who you meet you’ll see
Nothing’s ever easy
And nothing’s ever free
nothing new
nothing old
everything is
Nothing ever ends like in the movies
Neatly wrapped in plastic on display
Be My Valentine reads on the card stock
Words that make no sense any other way
Cause nothing ever ends like in the movies
But still kid you better get on that plane
Let us not discuss this till tomorrow
When all our hopes and dreams have gone away
But if this ever ended like in the movies
Would there be enough common ground for to stay
Two drifters moon river and a corked bottle
This message left inside is what I’d say
Nothing ever ends like in the movies
There’s no black and white beauty light to display
The freedom which keeps us apart together
Are the feelings that make me wish we could stay
But two picture perfect actors in the movies
You know could never make me feel this strange
I Love You has two faces like a coin toss
What I mean is I’ll still love you either way
So I guess some things kind of end like in the movies
People get crossed out and then replaced
Brooklyn we’ll have always in our memories
A feeling that warms my winter heart today
When we accept
that we know nothing
perhaps then,
we hold the power
to
know everything.
There is nothing
and everything
to fear. Anyone
who tells you
different is a liar.
Oh how the world
is a terrifying place
when you’ve already
walked through the fire.
I
believed
in
myself
once.
A
long
time
ago.
Perhaps
too
much.
Perhaps
not
enough.
Like
I
believed
in
you.
A
long
time
ago.
Perhaps
too
little.
Perhaps
too
much.
While
your
many
faces
spoke.
Such
awful
beauty
spewed.
All
that
time.
I
heard
nothing.
Believe
it
or
not,
I
really
believed
in
everyone.
Spitting
tea
leaves.
Before
Long
Island.
