Song A Day # 331: The Best Day of My Life I Choked On Some Words And Was Married, ctd

in my house there is a room
and in that room there is a drawer
and in that drawer is a list of all my worries
it's an illustrated list
with notes an annotations
and entries like nature's wrath and fury
and brain aneurysms from being in a hurry
i eat too fast

sometimes i go to sleep
thinking i'll never wake
is it only in my mind these thoughts are turning
or do i die every night
to be revived by the light
of the tower in the clouds softly burning
and the pitter patter of the rain finally returning
as it hits the glass

out the window
the sky is overcast
if i could fly i'd follow birds
on their lonely paths
but i swallow all my pills
and am fading fast
close my eyes

i find the space between
wakefulness and sleep
is the very best time for free association
and most of my ideas
the ones i throw away and keep
come in the shower between exfoliations
not on the mountain top in mediation
no not at all

jesus said that money
and religion didn't mix
and so they built corporate mega churches
jesus said that being poor
was the the only way to live
and so we arrest the homeless like they're walking curses
we cast them out as if there were nothing worse
than being poor

there's no space there
for interpretation
it's an amazing case of blind
manifestation
no lonely history
celebration
defies explanation

lol radpeterguy thinks all your songs are suspicious. at least he didn't comment "third" : /

[Radpeterguy]

Chrissy Capleton wrote a song called the greatest day of my life which sounds pretty similar to this one ... pretty suspicious .

The dark sequel of a trilogy?

Bravo. Can't wait to see what you came of with for Round 2 of Song Fu on Monday.
