doggerel for the daring…

If I can figure out chords for the chorus bit, I’ll probably record the thing and slap it up here…

I look at me in the mirror

I don’t like what I see

I wanna see happy and rested

I wanna see flyin and free

 

And I wanna see calm and collected

I wanna subtle and sane

I wanna get out of this spinnin

And I wanna come out of the rain

 

I wanna fall flat into happy

I wanna sink down into joy

I wanna wake up from this nightmare

I wanna walk away from their ploys

 

And I wanna be miserably happy

I wanna with rot with smiles

I wanna climb the top of the tallest tree

I wanna lay down for awhile

 

What’s blocking the mirror

What’s blocking my view

I look in all I see is me

When I all want to see is you

All I want to see is you

 

I sit here in this cold blue room

Staring at the wall 

I stare a little longer

I can feel the darkness fall (call?)

 

I breathe like they told me to

Counting 7, 8, 9, 10

I’m afraid I’ve lost my way

I’ve lost the door again

 

I’ve been into the mines of me

My only hope is you

My only hope in this dark, damp cave

Is that you’ve tasted darkness too

 

My only hope is a nail-scarred hand

That’s dying to be free

My only hope is a wounded side

And the blood pouring over me

 

My only hope is a heavenly flood

My only hope is your light

It’s my only hope in this fiction land

Cause I don’t have the strength to fight

 

All the monsters that want to pursue us

All the windmills that deface

All the maidens that need to be rescued

All the world that needs Your grace

 

What’s blocking the mirror

What’s blocking my view

I look in, all I see is me

And all I want to see is you. 

All I want to see is you.

 

I kick and I scream and I thrash at you

I kick and I scream and I thrash at you

I kick and I scream and I thrash at you

Hold me in spite of me

Hold me in spite of me

 

What’s blocking the mirror

What’s blocking my view

I look in, all I see is me

And all I want to see is you. 

All I want to see is you.

 

I sit here in the darkness

I don’t know if you’re going to come

I know I know so much more than this

I’m the beloved son.

 

I know I’ll be swimming in laughter

I’ll know my name by somehow

I might be afraid in the darkness

But I won’t be afraid of the crowds

 

I won’t be afraid that they’ll see me

I won’t be afraid of my words

I won’t be afraid of my still, small voice

I won’t be afraid I’ll be heard

 

Nothing blocking the mirror

Nothing stopping the view

A view so clear

I can see from here

You like to see me too

So I’ll let you see me too.
