check your baggage at the station

July 28, 2023

Crazy keeping secrets
That everybody sees
When secrets aren’t so secret
It’s time to set them free

Lies are so convenient
But it's hard to keep track
Check your baggage at the station
And never look back

Reality don’t hide
It was oozing out my pores
I was crashing into sidewalks
And walking into doors

Lies are so convenient
But it's hard to keep track
Check your baggage at the station
And never look back

What I saw in the mirror
Was anybody's guess
I kept on digging deeper
In all my distress

Lies are so convenient
But it's hard to keep track
Check your baggage at the station
And never look back

Waking up sober
And the house doesn’t smell
There’s nothing to trip over
I’m starting to get well

Lies are so convenient
But it's hard to keep track
Check your baggage at the station
And never look back

Check your baggage at the station
And never look back

Sundays Too

July 1, 2023

It’s not a little thing
When breakfast is ready
Lunches are packed 
And the house is warm

It’s not a little thing
When dishes are done
Laundry is clean
And your coat’s by the door

It’s not a little thing
Who’s sleeping in your bed
When it’s someone who supports
Everything you do

It’s not a little thing
When you go out in the world
Knowing that there’s someone
Who really loves you
