She's Not Me

She's not me
and maybe that's the point
I'm a brown like you
and she's a blue
She dyes and paints and fusses
and I'm just me
I am what you see
And from what I can observe
You're just not ready to live the life I offer
Brilliant, dangerous, unsure
She's not me
And maybe that's the point
She captures the innocence
of which you've always fantasized
of gaining, of corrupting
I capture the experience
of which you've always envied of living
But only dreaming
You loved me for me
but wanted me as her
You loved me for me
but from what I can observe
From what I can observe
You're just not ready to live the life I offer
Brilliant, dangerous, unsure
She's not me
And maybe that's the point

Fate My Friend

I don't shake too easy
I don't stand too still
I know every moment
isn't as hard as the kill
Yeah you could walk beside me
I guess for a while
But if I grow tired of you
I'll just toss you aside
Where do you go down the road?
Are your enemies constantly changing,
Sold?
I wish I had a reason
I wish I had a right
Guess it's not in season
I'll just put it aside
Oh no, was that you
When I was shaking in
boots of leather
steel-toed, dull with chagrin?
Where do you go down the road?
Are your enemies constantly changing?
Hold
I hate it when you're cold
It's unknown
but it grows
in my gut and throat
I'm hardly hanging on
My escape
is a heart
from my own soul

When I read your mind
I was pulled into a state of truth
A longing for the youth I've left behind
As the days unwind
I can slip into a point of view
The mystery I never thought to find
Ooo
One haunting night
With no explanation for the ruse
No explanation for the pain inside
You can't make things right
If you run away if you refuse
Acceptance isn't putting on a smile
Ba da dum bum bum
Ba da dum bum
Ooo Ooo
It won't fade with time
But if you're lucky you'll go deaf
Cause blind you see it clear
Behind your eyes
And you can mime
But underneath your shell is left
A spectre holding hope
Inside the lie
Ba da dum bum bum
Ba da dum bum
Ooo Ooo
Where are you going?
What are you throwing away?
It's the same thing you've always wanted
Welcomed by your vices each and every day
What's the cost of living?
On the outside
Looking in
Ba da dum bum bum
Ba da dum bum
Ooo Ooo

To Tune

A caterwaul
A wail not stopping
A siren growing strong
Lights popping
And matching this is your song
Lopping along
Melody somewhere growing
A stillness blesses once
Our meeting
The stillness passed
Moment Fleeting
And hatching this is your song
Lopping along
Melody somewhere growing
One by one we
Slowly fumbling
Shaky reaching
Humbly bear our souls
For you for leeching
Pierced through the air
A bullet streaking
The wind it makes a tone
Shoots a feeling
And happening is your song
Flowing along
Melody lightly flooding
One by one we
Slowly fumbling
Shaky reaching
Humbly bear our souls
For you for leeching

Where do you go
When everything works out?
I hit the road
Find out what life is about
You know it's not that easy though
No not anymore
You can't just pick up and go
When you're stuck
And you're bored
Tough
I must just throw it all away
And save it for another me
Maybe seeing
Little dreams inside my eyes
Has destroyed
My sense of reality
So what do you know
There goes life turning round
But here comes that road
With the fork and the choice
Of which to go down
You know it's not that easy no
Not when there's consequence
Both ways
My feet below me start to go
While my mind
Starts to stray
Tough
I must just throw it all away
And save it for another me
Maybe seeing
Little dreams inside my eyes
Has destroyed
My sense of reality

Dara Eagle Brooklyn, New York
I don't like to stick to one instrument in my songwriting because each one has something different to offer a song. When I was a kid I took piano lessons & started writing on that, as a teenager added guitar then switched over to it for a while, I picked up the ukulele one year & couldn't put it down. I picked back up my middle school trumpet. I have a viola around I'll get to one of these days... ... more
