As Dark as Day

I knew myself, what come what may, what love I lost, it slipped away
I closed my eyes and turned away,
the sky was dark, as dark as day
I heard myself, such rage, such pain,
a wailing in the pouring rain
I saw myself, no eyes, just blame, such weather storming in my brain
I killed myself, the blade that came, was made for me, it held my name
I grieved myself, for all I’d lost,
for every penny, every cost

I closed my eyes and turned away,
the sky was dark, as black as day
As white as snow, but dark as death, no voices here, no choices left
No need to walk, if I should fall,
no one to care, to know at all
No life to pin me down like chains,
no love to make me weak, no stains
No Gods to fear
on bended knee,
nobody else except for me

I heard myself, such rage, such pain,
a wailing in the pouring rain
A tale I told to stem the flow
of ghosts I know
but do not know
The light is gone,
the light that glows,
then darkness comes
before the close
The close of us,
the close of all,
As shadows weep before they fall

I killed myself, the blade that came, was made for me, it held my name
I grieved myself, for all I’d lost,
for every penny, every cost
I heard myself, such rage, such pain,
a wailing in the pouring rain
I saw myself, no eyes, just blame, such weather storming in my brain
I knew myself, what come what may, what love I lost it slipped away
I closed my eyes and turned away,
the sky was dark,
as dark as day

What a World

What a world, what a place
What a mess, this Human race
What a war, what a waste
What a terror, what a taste
What a way, what a which
What a when and what a bitch
What a win, what a loss
What a kill and what a cost

What a word, comes to that
What a tale and what a fact
What are we, what is that
Tea for two or tit for tat
Tat for tales already told
Sell the shit already sold
Don't come back if you're to blame
Change your face and hide your name

What a whoa, here we go
What a wave to show I know
What a chance, time to dance
Lost my legs like Frogs in France
Time to take another look
Head inside another book
What a world and what it took
I was there the day it shook

It was I who made it shake
Gave the world a stomach ache
Indigestion, learning lessons
Quick confessions, keep them guessing

Song

Who were you when I was me, when I was you then who was I

When I was her and she was me, when he was she and she was he

Then who were you when I was you, when you were me then who was she

And who was he when I was me, when I was he then who was me

What did you do when I was true, when I was you, what did you do

What point of view, what style renewed, what word to give a meaning to

What single thing, what uncrowned king, what words to say to help me pray

To help today, when things go wrong, what God to love, to sing a song

What song to sing, oh what a choice, the melody and then the voice

As lyrics bring the need to sing and all the world is listening

What was the start and what began, when I was he, a broken man

And she was you, so beautiful, I can't believe there was a plan

But if there was, it strikes me dumb, I breathe alive, a single lung

But not for fun, or anyone, it works for me but not for some

If some were true, then so were you, then so was I, perhaps or die

Perhaps if I could sing that song, the concert wouldn't seem so long
