Lyrical Limerick

I'm exhausted - this facade is draining me

I'm living in a house of mirrors - surounded by myself each way I turn...looking different at first, but it's always just me...perspectives change but the foundation remains...

Jack Johnson - Breakdown
Right now I need this old train to breakdown
oh please just let me please breakdown
I want to break on down
But I can't stop now

But you can't stop nothing if you got no control
of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know
you don't know nothing but don't need to know
the wisdom's in the trees not the glass windows
you can't stop wishin if you don't let go
of the things that you find and you lose and you know
you keep on rollin put the moment on hold
the frame's to bright so put the blinds down low

a wise man once said - don't be an idiot ... and perhaps i should have listened more carefully... but the wind was in my hair...

i'm looking for the answer in an outdated encyclopedia...if i updated the library of my mind i might know where to turn...

Jack Johnson - Better Together
love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart
like why are we here and where do we go and how come it's so hard
it's not always easy and sometimes life can be decieving
i'll tell you one thing
it's always better when we're together
it's always better when we're together
we'll look at those stars when we're together
yeah, it's always better when we're together
and all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
but i know that they'll be gone
when the morning light sings or brings new things
but tomorrow night you see
that they'll be gone too
too many things i have to do
but if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
i'd be under the impression i was somewhere inbetween
with only two just me and you
not so many things we got to do
or places we got to be

I'm feeling quite lyrical tonight...it seems I have not enough creativity to muster up my own tune...and so Jack will say it all tonight.
