Journey

Can you tell me if it's Sunday night
And can you tell me if it's Eleven or Two
You see I went out when the sun was bright
And I'm not sure what's what or who's who

See the dog in the bathroom caused an awful mess
With the bucket tied 'round his back
I tried to gather up my shoes and my dress
But the dog just went on the attack

So I'm not sure where I'm going
And I'm not certain what I've seen
What seems impossible, seems to be what's been
What makes sense, doesn't seem to be fitting in

I don't know how I got here
And I'm not sure how I'm gonna leave
Maybe that dog has his own pet to peeve
And maybe we'll go together just to begin to believe

There's a man who's waiting for his girl to call
He's laying out his lemons and his limes
The phone would ring and his head would fall
His broken heart a drive by crime

A woman owns a run-down trailer park
She drives smiling, as the people wave and pray
She Say's "she's the mayor of this broken town,
And always wears pink to brighten their day"

And maybe I'm crazy for thinking
All these thoughts all these days
Like if I run fast enough on train tracks
It will make me Superman someday

And maybe I'm lost for believing
That there's magic in these ways
That broken is just a way of fixing
And I'll be Wonder Woman someday

So I'm not sure where I'm going
And I'm not certain what I've seen
What seems impossible, seems to be what's been
What makes sense, doesn't seem to be fitting in

I don't know how I got here
And I'm not sure how I'm gonna leave
Maybe that dog has his own pet to peeve
And maybe we'll go together just to begin to believe









Open Eyes

It's amazing what the night will say
When you stop
And listen
With open eyes

Silly Lady

Silly lady.
By your own hand
You blinded yourself.
Fingers locked tightly across 
Starry eyes.
