She wants…

The last song of 2020.

She Wants…

There’s a story she’s been told
There’s a dream that she’s been sold
From an image on a screen
And a photo from a magazine

She wants to drive
She wants to feel alive
Spit out her bridal reins
Sell off her golden chains

Run from sorrow run from shame
Sunshine people can’t stand the rain
Triggered by an ancient pain
Captured in a place of blame

She want to fly
She wants to say goodbye
To the past she puts behind
To the contracts she has signed

She wants to drive
She wants to stay alive
She wants to fly
She wants to say goodbye

There’s a story we’ve been told
There’s a dream that we’ve been sold
Times we wasted chasing kicks
Looking for the next quick fix

Ice on the skylight
Snow on Fuji-san
Last day of 2020…

The path that traverses its way to the summit of Fuji-san.

BEHIND THE VEIL

The lights are low, the door is closed
The fire burns hot, desire exposed
You change your mind, try to be kind
We pull apart, but share one heart

On the other side of midnight
A soul so frail
Behind the Veil

The sun is hot, the sky is blue
Watching her, watch him, watch you
We made our peace, cried with release
With one mistake there’s two heartbreaks

On the other side of midnight
A soul so frail
Behind the Veil

With vision blurred, our fears ignored
Put down the pen, pick up the sword
We ran the race, too fast too late
There’s no more time, to dodge our fate
