Where do the people in my dreams come from? Do they have occupations In their dreamy dreamy lives? Do they wake up in the morning And kiss their dreamy wives? Where do the people in my dreams come from? Do they inhabit other people’s dreams Or only visit mine? Do they all hang out together? Do they live in space and time? Where do the people in my dreams come from? Do they exist in dimensions That humans cannot see? Do they go to bed at night And dream about me? by Richard W. Bray
it only takes you to open up the door you wash away the blue you refresh and you restore it only took you to melt my frozen heart you fix me just like glue when I’m falling apart In a cold and bitter world You’re a special kind of girl it only takes you to turn blizzards into fire doo be doo be doo be doo there ain’t no way to get higher it only takes you to right me when I’m wrong if the world disappears there will still be your song by Richard W. Bray
The marriage went stale We lived our separate lives I had a pocket full of floozies She slept with some wives Drinking in a crowd And laughing way too loud Ignoring what I lost Forget about the cost On a dusty old road With nothing left to see I burned down every bridge From Barstow to Western Tennessee Drinking in a crowd And laughing way too loud Ignoring what I lost Forget about the cost I'll buy another round And cut myself some slack I'm telling you for sure in this crazy ole world There ain't no way to turn ever back Drinking in a crowd And laughing way too loud Ignoring what I lost Forget about the cost By Richard W. Bray
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. –Carl Jung Patrick’s always talking About everybody else He doesn’t even know He’s just talking about himself "Two-faced Tommy Is such a stupid clown Always talking trash When people aren’t around" Patrick’s always talking About everybody else He doesn’t even know He’s just talking about himself "Albert's so angry Screaming all day It makes my blood boil When he acts that way" Patrick’s always talking About everybody else He doesn’t even know He’s just talking about himself “Walter’s such a drunk He’ll never get it right Always at the bar I see him every night” Patrick’s always talking About everybody else He doesn’t even know He’s just talking about himself “Heather’s so jealous She’s bitter and cruel If I had all her privileges I wouldn’t be such a fool” Patrick’s always talking About everybody else He doesn’t even know He’s just talking about himself by Richard W. Bray
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do –Hank Williams, Cold Cold Heart Don’t blame yourself For your broken heart It might feel heroic But it isn’t very smart There’s something you know But you’ll never understand She made you so happy But she didn’t give a damn You could spend some time with a real live girl But you’d rather keep bleeding in Imaginary World You’re a really sweet guy But you gotta let it go It wasn’t your fault When she stomped on your soul I really wanna love you But I can’t compete With a sad sad song That you wanna repeat You could spend some time with a real live girl But you’d rather keep bleeding in Imaginary World By Richard W. Bray
Telling your life story Leaving out the facts Time travels sideways Turkeys go quack Nothing that happens Is ever your fault Look inside a mirror See who you're not Crazy as a hound dog With a pigeon up its ass Fantasize a future Wish away the past Nothing that happens Is ever your fault Look inside a mirror See who you're not Blood on all your garments Dripping from your hand But you never stop saying You're an innocent man Nothing that happens Is ever your fault Look inside a mirror See who you're not By Richard W. Bray
What holds all the molecules together? Was there a beginning of time? Does space go on forever? What makes you so clever? Is there any reason in my rhyme? I wonder about everything I see Who made all the tygers and the trees? I wonder why I met you And what you’re gonna do Wonder is good enough for me I wonder about things I’ll never know I wonder if our love is gonna grow What’s inside the sun? The biggest number plus one? Wonder is good enough for me by Richard W. Bray
paint a picture sing a song tell yourself you’re never wrong swallow anger exhale fear stomp on hope and plug your ears busting kindness crushing faith feasting on an empty plate live your hatred love your lies empty hearts and cold goodbyes by Richard W. Bray
My doctor said "Your thinking stinks You're sick inside from all them drinks You need to fix what's in your head Or else you're gonna wind up dead" Fragrant thinking Keeping people sane Try to stay happy But don't deny the pain Fragrant thinking You're gonna make mistakes Don't emphasize the negative And give yourself a break Fragrant thinking Focus on yourself Don't waste your time obsessing About everybody else Fragrant thinking Serenity Prayer Change the things you can Who said life was fair? Now I filter everything All the stuff I say and think Eliminating all the shit That don't serve me no benefit by Richard W. Bray
To fight aloud Is what you do To hide from What's inside of you Refute the things That people say And box in bars On Saturday To fight aloud Is what you do To hide from What's inside of you Upset, attack Disturb, annoy Nag and nag And nag your boy To fight aloud Is what you do To hide from What's inside of you Bicker, fuss And fight and feud And then you say "You're being rude" To fight aloud Is what you do To hide from What's inside of you
