Sync Different

THE LYRICIST’S LAMENT

Music by Sebastijan Duh
Lyrics by John Greaves

I was asked to write a song
I said “Easy,” it’s “easy peasy”
Just find a word at the end of the line
Then you gotta make it rhyme
With love and stars above
It won’t take you very long

But I found out that I was wrong
Wasn’t thinking, had I been drinking?
Words don’t fall like rain from the sky
But a lot of little jewels
Like tiny molecules
Could grow up to be a song

Try to sing it using verbal dexterity
You can wing it schmoozing perfect sincerity
You could be climbing a stairway to heaven
Once you’re up it you’ll be stuck like a puppet on a string

So we’re coming to the end the conclusion
No illusion,
This little story’s hit the end of the road
And it’s just a bunch of sounds
To please the ear
So nice to hear
And you got another job
Done and dusted

IN THE HERE AND NOW

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

I LIVE IN A KIND OF DREAM
BUT A DREAM THAT SEEMS QUITE REAL
AND I’M ON THE BRINK
BECAUSE WHAT I THINK’S OUT OF SYNCH
WITH WHAT I FEEL

BUT HEY I DON’T GIVE A DAMN
WHAT I THINK IS NOT WHAT I AM
GONNA SHED MY SKIN
AND I’M TRADING IN
EVERYTHING I’VE EVER BEEN

AND I AM NOT AFRAID
NOT A BIT CONCERNED
AND I’LL BE FORGETTING
MORE THAN I HAVE EVER LEARNED
SLIDE TOWARDS THE EDGE
STEP ACROSS THE LEDGE
ALL MY BRIDGES BURNED

TO BE IN THE HERE AND NOW
KNOWING HOW TO HEAR AND FEEL AND SEE
STEP OFF INTO SPACE
ISN’T THIS THE PLACE
I WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO BE?
