THERAPY

She was playing with some children

wilted flowers as her crown

A necklace of dandelions

And her blue jeans for a gown

There was laughter,There was dancing

Lord, I wanted to join in 

It was like something from a dream

The way that she played with them

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I don't need no therapy

No costly mental hug

Just saw some real-life happiness

Buddy that is good enough

I can't find a better reason 

To quit whining and feel good

All the laughing, and the dancing

Found its way into my blood

The goodness I can see...

New therapy

~~*~~

They were walking down their driveway

Two old people holding hands

Not that far to reach their mailbox

But I've come to understand

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

As life speeds by, if you rage and cry

About every little thing

You'll never know, that if you took it slow

How amazing it could be 

You've got to get, some true happiness

Before you can finally see...

It's real-life stuff, when you laugh and love

The best kind of therapy

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I don't need no therapy

No costly mental hug

Just saw some real-life happiness

Buddy that is good enough

I can't find a better reason 

To quit whining and feel good

All the laughing, and the dancing

Found its way into my blood

The goodness I can see...

New therapy

AND LIFE BEGINS

He found her...

Dancing in shadows

Trying to hide

In the smokey haze

She found him...

Paying for glances

Fighting to chase

Emptiness away

~~~*Chorus*~~~

The lonely find love

And their life changes

Drawn to each other

Through a sea of faces

Filling the deep voids

They've become lost in 

The lonely find love

And life begins

~~*~~

He kissed her...

Starving for worship

He was so lost

She brought him home

She kissed him...

Felt his needs find hers

Draw her back from

Where anguish roams

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

We're not meant to travel through this life alone

Everybody needs a body that they can hold

To love and laugh with, to give love freely...

Without it, life has not begun, you're lonely

So lonely
Find somebody, and begin to live
When the lonely find love...
Life begins

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

The lonely find love

And their life changes

Drawn to each other

Through a sea of faces

Filling the deep voids

They've become lost in 

The lonely find love

And life begins

ONE LAST TIME... THE DESCENT

One last time

To climb that mountain

To feel the high

Invade his blood

As he set out

His need was focused

Destination

Consuming rush

~~~*Chorus*~~~

He was flying down that mountain

And the wolves were close behind

His heart bursting with the cold dread

He would not escape this time

He smelled their hot breath on him

He could sense their savage thirst

He saw the shadows closing in

Heard the growls that were dispersed

Every sense was heightened

From the blissful rise

But the descent...

Was the last time

~~*~~

One last time

He climbed that mountain

He felt the high

Invade his blood

As he ran down

The beasts transcended

He'd craved the rush

Oh, far too much

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

He prayed for the baying of the hounds 

To come and save him

He cursed himself for flirting so with death

Just as the cold slope fell 

To the call of total darkness

And the wolves overcame him, his last breath...

Clarified

One last time

~~~*Chorus*~~~

He was flying down that mountain

And the wolves were close behind

His heart bursting with the cold dread

He would not escape this time

He smelled their hot breath on him

He could sense their savage thirst

He saw the shadows closing in

Heard the growls that were dispersed

Every sense was heightened

From the blissful rise

But the descent...

Was the last time
