Routine Is Your Love

You're always near
even when I fall short
These different views,
indifferent blood
Forever grateful
Routine is your love
A mighty fine consolation
The perils of a giving self
without expectations
You don't need anything in exchange, in your favor
Grace my life and bless with wealth
But I know what you crave
is a break from this habit
For me to pull through on my own
It doesn't come easy
Aspiring against great intentions
I'll course correct as safely
As your child is supposed to
Familiar fields of green
We sing praise for the mainland
Home is where you want it
But ours might not be the same
You don't need anything in exchange, in your favor
Grace my life and bless with wealth
But I know what you crave
is a break from this habit
For me to pull through on my own
No shame in trying alone

My Stubborn Ways

When I think you're safe ashore with me,
the way he calls you back to sea
Oh, maybe
I'll make plans of my own accord
biding my time on the docks by the fishermen
waiting, waiting on you
If I change my stubborn ways, would you return to me?
How I knew those diner lights
storm moved in and they all started flickering
Oh, listen
Now let's have another round
cheers for my mind's headed to your door
waiting, waiting on you
If I change my stubborn ways, would you return to me?
We lived in doubt too long
Digging deep into the others
And I can't help but overstep
So here he comes in blinding white
I've pushed you away
always wanting to know

I heard it man, it's a good fit
In my head the music intertwines
With words of experiences
Real talk for years refined
Although a muse jumps from one to the next
page after page you separate from the rest
So I'll write it out on paper
Absent of judgment or trying to be
Refrain from the part that repeats your name
I'd tune in first to the melody
Whoa, Maria lied then
You may be young too, Maria Weisman
He'll size you up, I can feel it
Weighing the risk and the gain
Unlike a guy's worst critic
You remarked that my songs sound the same
Perfect and analyze 'til I drop dead
Listen to cues matter more than what's said
So I'll punish the specialist
Within myself a conflict in creativity
Beneath your message I can finally see
Timing's his forte but mine's getting beat
Just stop leading on Maria
Down the aisle we know you're set
I've read it as much as you've read his affection
He does it for pride and we lust for the tension
Whoa, Maria lied then
You may be young too, Maria Weisman
The boys who admire
You forget what they're worth
We've done enough to please
Tell them they're special, you're proud to be theirs
especially me
But your callous house of cards will collapse,
the truth surpasses beauty
Ready and able he'll entice
yet ultimately leave
I'll weave together your reverie
Whoa, Maria lied then
You may be young too, Maria Weisman
Whoa, Maria lied then
You may be young too, Maria Weisman
You may be too young

Shadow

LA bound, we're just passing through
in neon sequence and crowded hues
Wherever it takes to gather new momentum
Unsteady glances are fleeting the night
And I'll remember why we said it's over
Crippled with heartache, your shadow I'm under
This one will distract they swear
But you'll always be compared
Anchored by liquor and guilt while I fixate her dancing
She dips her body to escalate
Imagine if we tried to make amends
There wouldn't be someone else, for replacing
Oh I hate being reminded
of moving on as an option
when you're content not missing
the best I've ever had
And I'll remember why we said it's over
Crippled with heartache, your shadow I'm under

To the room, my lady
Where we lay the scene
But not on her balcony
No, Verona ain't fair for thee
In bed, it's warmer
Underneath the covers
Grazing feet with mine
Who goes there?
Hands on my eyes, her laugh made bare
How cruel a tease, your lip biting glare
She plays our game
Holding off till the very end
By night we both want more
I haven't been this sure before
My arms when she rests
Alabaster short dress
On her carpet floor
Who goes there?
Embrace where it's dark, her lips made bare
How cruel a tease
"When they approach, we'll be miles apart"
Quickly, through the other side
I'll disappear, as they shout
Who goes there?
Farewell good fortune, her teeth made bare
How cruel a tease, your look back stare

Picture growing away
Fighting like we need to
They'll say, "You should've tried harder"
'Cause they won't hear our answer
It's nearing the end
This flat, colorless love we've lived in
love we've lived in
Anticipate relief, for our sake
Anticipate release
Let's choose to heal with time apart
Yes it can hurt, to feel alive
Why should I explain us?
Family and friends from support to strangers
We're the only ones aware of what happened in spades
Between the highs and lows
a mutual masquerade
Even with shared regrets we deserve our own happiness
Own happiness
Permission at rest
It's nearing the end
This flat, colorless love we've lived in
Troubled since then
At the height of these frays we burn for sport
Fair peacekeeping as a last resort
We're tired of deciding what comes across approvingly
Anticipate relief, for our sake
Anticipate release
Let's choose to heal with time apart
Yes it can hurt, to feel alive

You can take it out on us
However you cope I'm here
We'll carry on their memories
Grieve for now this broken chain
But don't dwell upon our loss
Yeah I believe we'll link alright
Find me again in the afterlife
From where the news spreads
Unraveling their fate
It permeates my screen
With wicked disbelief
I'm going to follow your footsteps
A tread of guiding kindness
So recognize that I'll miss you
It's tougher than it seems to proceed
Weep for days though the pain is gone
I ask forgiveness to those I've wronged
Reality checks and shapes our direction
Neglected a visit and wishing I'd mentioned your name
In prayer, in mercy your name
This legacy matters
You've granted us a soul we're proud to celebrate
I'm going to follow your footsteps
A tread of guiding kindness
So recognize that I'll miss you
It's tougher than it seems to proceed
Ceremonies raised on behalf of us
To honor and take leave
Reserved for your noble disposition
we'll assemble to lighten the sorrow
Another journey breeds redemption
And you can steer me there
Departed yet still channeling
Hopes and grand gestures
We're witnesses in their story
These visceral pieces remain intact
Ascending above the clouds
My guardian soars!
Rejoice, our wonder and awe
braves the unfamiliar, infinite venture
Divine beyond faculty
I've learned to adjust
