Fine By Me

Today you’re gonna say what it is now
That keeps kids grooving uncontrolled
Today you’re gonna play like it’s cool now
To prove punk spirit’s bought and sold
And if you’re asking me
Straight through it all I can see
Cuz I don’t need a hand, with the words now
Everyone knows now
The deal isn’t free
You say rock and roll is dead, but that’s fine by me.
Today I’m gonna stay tried and true now
Despite your offers, green but cold.
Today I gravitate to the new now
And leave my language for the molds
And if you’re asking me
Straight through it I want to be
Cuz I can bet my hand on the house now
Everyone knows now
The deal isn’t free
You say rock and roll is dead, but that’s fine by me.
When it’s all been said
You find you’re in the red.
When it’s all been said
Your ways are always dead.
When it’s all been done
The winners always won
When it’s all been done
I’ll take my songs and run run run
Everyone knows now
The deal isn’t free
You say rock and roll is dead, but that’s fine by me.
Everyone knows now
The kids hold the key
Since you shot rock n roll, but that’s fine by me.

Storyteller

Every story starts at “Once Upon a Time”
Or so my friend told me
Biting hook and line
But the tale that’s left me alone through the years
Started as a secret I took from my fears
Storyteller spin something strange
A story told that time can still change
Help me forget my regrets in exchange
Casual you call me once or twice
Apprehension answers
I try to play nice
Because the tale that brings my reservations back
Is no longer secret
No longer in black
Storyteller spin something strange
A story told that time can still change
Help me forget my regrets in exchange
They say that every story starts at once upon a time
Whether told in silence or spoken in rhyme
Storyteller spin something strange
A story told that time can still change
Help me forget my regrets in exchange

Unwavering

Whispers are finding me
Looking and dodging through trees
Spreading like fires
A good man’s desires unfreeze
Turning of stones
Where nobody makes homes anymore
But I sit with a strain
As the silence would rain, oh it pours
Hidden in plain sight
The trees and the flashlight align
Away from the staircase
You push me at my place in time
Decisional red rush
All crawling through dead brush to me
Alone in the panic
All rendered organic and free
Unwavering
The songs we sing
The deafening
Of the fall
Unfiltering
All set at peace
The quickening
Of the call
Whispers are passing me
Burning the one degree air
As I sort through the fires
My head turns and tires, laid bare
Turning of stones
I’m the one who’s called home here before
But I sit with a strain
As the silence would rain, oh it pours
Unwavering
The songs we sing
The deafening
Of the fall
Unfiltering
All set at peace
The quickening
Of the call
