Remembering George Bell

It's no surprise to hear that he's dead
He lived a long life
We all get old
I'd like to think he called me his friend
Though with Big George
It was hard to know
I heard he was found
Lying lifeless on the ground
In a Dirty apartment he called home
It sounds like a line
But I think of him all the time
Feel real bad George died alone
We used to sit right here at the bar
Shoot the shit
Say life was hard
I got the sense that he was in pain
Though he'd never admit it just the same
I heard he was found
Lying lifeless on the ground
In a Dirty apartment he called home
It sounds like a line
But I miss him all the time
Feel real bad George died alone
Only when I dream will I see
George's black eyes
Staring back at me
Now
I heard he was found
Lying lifeless on the ground
In a dirty apartment he called home
It sounds like a line
But I want to see him one last time
I'm sorry George had to go

Gone Away

Gone away gone away again
Wasting time getting high with my friends
I've gone away gone away again
Mamma won't be so proud of me
When she finds out I'm not the girl I used to be
She's gone away gone away again
Making life seem simple and free
By avoiding all of my responsibility
Taking time off is good for my sanity
Well some will say that ignorance is bliss
I won't think of opportunities I've missed
They've gone away gone away again

Whispered Hope

My love my love
I've grown so tired
Feel I'm suspended on a tightrope wire
Talking in riddles and treading on glass
How long how long
Will this charade last?
The end is so near
I can taste its bittersweetness on your lips my dear
Late at night when you call my name I am hardly here
Love's only surviving on whispered hope I fear
Our love our love has grown as thin as the air
Try hard to grasp it
But it's hardly there
Always hard to let go
When you still want to care
WHispered hope is what we cling to
Thinking love's still there
Whispered hope is all we cling to
Thinking love's still there
The end is so near
I can taste its bittersweetness on your lips my dear
Late at night when you call my name I am hardly here
Love's only surviving on whispered hope I fear
Love won't stay surviving on whispered hope I fear

Dead Weight

Two strangers
Alone in one bed
Separate thoughts swimming
Inside separate heads
Makeshift lovers
On a white-sheeted sea
One of them is you
The other is me
Fumbling fingers
Grasping tight
We remedy
An empty space tonight
Try as hard as we might
We both know
We don't fit right
I don't want to be
Some experiment in empathy
I'm afraid you're making that of me
Maybe I should just leave and let you be
We aren't made to be
Intertwined in each other's sympathy
By now we can both agree
That I should just leave and let you be
I will not
Keep you hanging around
Like some dead weight
That keeps dragging me down
