Depth Perception

Depth perception lost on me
Their eyes were the ones to see
Every mind that could inspire
Left me no one to admire
Every time I opened up
I was never good enough
For the narcissists and kind
Only seemed to leave me behind
But I was always getting by
By saying things that I would always
Used to deny
Drugs and clubs were not my scene
I could not discern their sheen
Still I could not be alone
Though I’d rather be at home
But I was always getting by
By saying things that I would always
Used to deny
How many times could I go on
Putting on a front and wearing this old mask
Who could think to ask
Of all the people I could be
Never once did I only try to be me
But I got by

Mr. Reaper
Welcome to my place
I hate to tell you you’re
On a wild goose chase
So please go on
Mr. Reaper
There’s a man down that way
He’s been babbling about this day
You now that I’d rather wait
I’d rather stay
I was only lonely
When you came here to take me away
Would you come back some other day
And I’ll be ready to sleep in the clay
Mr. Reaper
Would you like to stay
Even an introvert has moments of
Interaction desperation
Go on and stay
I was only lonely
When you came here to take me away
Would you come back some other day
And I’ll be ready to sleep in the clay
Why don’t you open up
Why don’t you open up
Mr. Reaper
What is on your mind
You’ve been awake since the beginning of time
So color outside the lines
Don’t hold back now
I was only lonely
When you came here to take me away
Would you come back some other day
And I’ll be ready to sleep in the clay
Now you’re here
Let it out
Don’t feel like you can’t ever shout
All the grievances of your day
But now I’m just glad that you stayed

In Love Again
03:49
|

Who of you can
Say that they’ve seen the future
No one can
You’re not the designer of this plan
I don’t mean
To be so despondent
Time and time again
I’m deprived of any sanguine
But I don’t believe I’ll be
In love again
In love again
In love again
Cause everyone tells me
But I don’t believe I’ll be
In love again
In love again
In love again
If you can
Provide any validation
Perhaps I’ll
Reassess my situation
But until then
I won’t believe I’ll be
In love again
In love again
In love again
Cause everyone tells me
But I don’t believe I’ll be
In love again
In love again
In love again
Oooh...
In love again
In love again
In love again
Cause everyone tells me
But I don’t believe I’ll be
In love again
In love again
In love again
I don’t believe that
I need to be in love again
I just don’t see it happening
I don’t believe I’ll be in love again

How Did I Get Here
02:11

How did I get here again
I was just here maybe two hours ago
How did I get here again
My 9-5 hours are draining all my energy
How did I get here again
My melodramatic nature’s gonna do me in
How did I get here again
Now
Maybe if I close my eyes
I’ll end up in some alternate reality
Living out a dream I had
When I was just a kid and singing in my daddy’s comb
Somehow my dreams slipped away
They’re locked inside a chest hidden under my bed
You know my life’s lemonade
Is not as sweet as people led me to believe
Maybe if I close my eyes
I’ll wake up back home
Maybe if I close my eyes
Maybe if I close my eyes
Maybe if I close my eyes
I’ll wake up home
Am I wasting my life away
Am I making a difference in somebody else’s day
Wasting my life away
I think I found my niche today

I walk in and everybody looks at me
And all I wanna do is flee
But I suck it up
And walk in quietly
But I feel at home on the back row
With the faces that I know and need
As the choir sings
Peace in the valley
And every time I look into my window
There’s always people
Trashing up the living room
Only spewing doom and gloom
But every time I spark a conversation
They only seem to lie
To lie
But then I turn to them and I say gently
Please don’t wake me
I’d rather be to myself this evening
Believe me
And all my friends are up on the roof
Playing songs from some band I don’t care about
But that’s okay with me
If they just let me be
Please don’t wake me up
Please don’t wish me luck
I’m doing fine
Just my laptop and my mind
But then I turn to them and I say gently
Please don’t wake me
I’d rather be to myself this evening
Believe me
And all my friends are up on the roof
Playing songs from some band I don’t care about
But that’s okay with me
If they just let me be

I'll Keep Playing
03:35
|
|||
|
I’m not depressed
I’m just bored
With all that my life has thrown my way
As of late
My wife does everything
That a wife is supposed to do
But now I think she’s found someone
Who’ll maybe get a clue
But I’ll keep playing
Even though I sometimes lose
My baby’s got to choose
Me or you
Me or you
Past and future images
Go flashing through my head
Of every word or phrase that I
Should have never said
Are these all ruminations
That she’d like to know
Would my heart skip a beat
If I knew that she would go
But I’ll keep playing
Even though I sometimes lose
My baby’s got to choose
Me or you
Me or you
My six figure checks mean
Nothing to me now
And yet they offer me more gambol
Than she’ll allow
But I am certain things are
Coming to a head
And still I’m devoid of any
Feelings of dread
But I’m done playing
Cause I always seem to lose
My baby’s got to choose
I hope she picks you
And chooses you
Chooses you

You were on a plane to L.A.
Morning began
As any other day
Nobody thought
That you’d leave
Nobody thought to pay you any mind
You left us behind
And even though
We’ve never met
Our lives are intertwined
And we’ll wonder why
This moment is your time
You’re my only hope
To keep the flame burning
When the laughter’s gone
Who knows
If the world will keep turning
When you were alive
Nobody was kind
They laughed and judged you
Only by the outside
Now that you’re gone
They cry and fawn
You’re my only hope
To keep the flame burning
When the laughter’s gone
Who knows
If the world will keep turning
I thought that you would live forever
But please come back and visit whenever
Why, why

Water to Wine
04:56
|

|
I was standing there with no aspiration
I couldn’t tell hot from cold
I was undecided
Wanted a higher love
One that left me with no hollowness
That’s a tall order
But I can deal with that
Was a long, cold, lonely winter
I was hiding from
Every single obligation
But I lost
Every item I could squander
Yet I still held on
Now I know I’ll never be alone
Alone
Give me a chance to find
The love that I missed when I was blind
Show me your light and shine
And turn my water to wine
Here I am ready and able
Ready to begin
It’s a long and winding road
But I know
That I’ll never return to the old way
Just an old relic
And I’m ready to begin anew
Give me a chance to find
The love that I missed when I was blind
Show me your light and shine
And turn my water to wine
