Man of Many Faces

Countless times I have died
Countless times I've been born
Countless nights I have cried – just looking back
At the countless days I have sworn
To come back and love you pretty Baby
But I get lost looking for myself
But now it's time to find that old self esteem
I've gotta take it back off the shelf
I am a man of many faces
There's always part of me you miss
I am a man of many faces
make sure you know which one you kiss
I walked around and I wore a mask
To help me navigate the times
Until it made me lose the task at hand
but now I'm ready to read the signs
And dimly through a mirror
I was gazing in your eyes
And my reflections getting clearer now
And I can see through my disguise
And you might find your self out there
But your lives count like the stars you see
There's a “you” right here
No longer lost, but free

Carnival Light

Failing she fought off the tears
As I watched the clowns crack open beers
Gaily they finished the day as we sat on the hay
The carousel music played on
But she drowned out the words of the song
When she looked in my eyes and she told me
It all felt so wrong
Then banners came down from the stands
And she let go of my hands
She stood up with the wind in her skirt
As popcorn bags littered the dirt
One got stuck on my shoe
I'd be damned if I could get if off
She said that she'd still be my friend
As the carnys moved signs made of tin
And shut down the magic
The music and lights ushered in
Then she turned her face away
I wondered if that meant goodbye
The workers they all said good night
Then she left me
In the carnival light

Challenge of Extremes

He tried to say how he felt
But to the child he was unusual
He said “My mind keeps shifting”
“It's never black or white”
“It keeps shifting all the time”
His face would tighten with a frown
They called him kind but he kept
Looking down
He said “My mind keeps shifting”
“It's never black or white”
“It's never day or night”
I've been a love sick dope
Walking on a tight rope
Losing your balance can kill you
Trying to get stable
You learn a funny fable
You've got to have a full deck of cards
Every time I smile, I'm hiding something vile
And it's the same thing vice versa
I'm trying to get balance
Up against the
challenge of extremes
Were you in love with me, girl...
And whatever I am?
I took the bus home from your place
I looked at the moon it had a painted face
See, it's face was painted
Balanced black and white
You're in love with Jesus
And the Devil
Yeah, you're in Love with Jesus
And the Devil
'Cause you're in Love with me

Under a Stone

I dreamt that I had wrote you a song
To bid you farewell
To say it's okay
And I noticed that you left me a note
To make it alright
But hey, it's okay
And your number's all that's left of you now
It's scribbled in ink
On a dirty receipt
And the note you left it's under a stone
At the bottom of a lake
'Cause there's nothing to say...
“Nothings really over” you would say
“Only you can feel that there's a difference in the day”
And then oh... oh... what would you say?...
And your number's all that's left of you now
It's scribbled in ink
On a dirty receipt
And the note you left it's under a stone
At the bottom of a lake
'Cause there's nothing to say...
“Nothings really over” you would say
“Only you can feel that there's a difference in the day”
And then oh... oh... what would you say?
Now I know.
“It's okay”
