Strange Glass

Pablo Picasso came back to life in stunning, vivid color
Says the way we view things is all wrong
Dips his brush into the blood of my long lost brother
And paints his truth red, black, and brown
Cut down to her core the weeping woman suffers
Remembers that a shadow's cast by light
Sees an effigy of her crazy significant other
Starkly rendered gray, black, and white
Do you see through strange glass?
Curled and warped by time
Flowing with a blurry line, so hopeless
Your light bends through strange glass
Mixing with a shadow fall
The brutalist worship through it all seems more in focus
A big rain fell and muddied the once clear water
Still no one cares if you live or drown
Now among those lost souls expecting a new day dawning
Their bodies spattered all red, black, and brown
Do you see through strange glass?
Curled and warped by time
Flowing with a blurry line, so hopeless
Your light bends through strange glass
Mixing with a shadow fall
The brutalist worship through it all seems more in focus
Do you see through strange glass?
Curled and warped by time
Flowing with a blurry line, so hopeless
Your light bends through strange glass
Mixing with a shadow fall
The brutalist worship through it all seems more in focus

Love Always Wins

When I was young I had a friend and she had everything
A yellow house, a car, a fence, and someone with a ring
Her dream too perfect too soon became all about her things
But they could not salvage two young hearts
Love always wins
He passed away on the ranch they say left the city far behind
Told himself it was all he needed just for peace of mind
As time wore on his own advice left his soul so frail and thin
And in the end, without a friend
Love always wins
Her family wanted peace you see but she had to stir the pot
Never enough in front of her, only wanted what was not
Pit one against the other always shout about their sins
That house of cards did tumble because
Love always wins
That house of cards did tumble because
Love always wins
Love always wins

A friend of mine died but he never went away
Stays in my mind to this very day
Said have fun while you can, every moment is gold
We're here only a little while
So dry your tear and try to fake a smile
Listen to these last sweet words, then go and grow old
This time, this time, this time
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
On my own don't know what to do
Looking for a job but it don't look good
So I'm wandering, may be gone for awhile
Wasting time and some nights I'm wild
So I pay the price, brush those teeth and smile
My best life happens when I feel like a child
This time, this time, this time
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
Those who know try to inform me
That I'll find my answers in maturity
But the truth I see, although I'm not wise
Have some plans need to feel my way
And that's enough just for today
Maybe live my life with some style
This time, this time, this time
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
Met a girl just the other day
She was sweet and kind and kind of out of her mind
Never had much luck, but now out of the blue
Kissed her face and we laughed awhile
I left her place with a little smile
I said, "When is love forever?"
She said, "It's all up to you."
This time, this time, this time
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
This time, this time, this time
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
I could sure use a lift, guess I'm walking again
