Lyrics: Shipwreck [Song Fight!, 2001]

It was a three-hour tour Looks like it’s gonna be more Now I’m stranded far from you And it looks like there’s nothing to do

I need someone to come Doesn’t matter where they are from I see a ship on the edge of my view And I’m hoping that it is you

Come on and rescue me I’m drowning, can’t you see that I Really need you all of the time so come Come on and rescue me

I am alone with nobody around It feels like I’ll never be found I have to hold on one more day To see if someone is coming my way

It was a three-hour tour Looks like it’s gonna be more Now I’m stranded far from you And I’m hoping that it is you

Come on and rescue me I’m drowning, can’t you see that I Really need you all of the time, so come Come on and rescue me

Come on and rescue me I’m begging for you to find me, and I Really need you all of the time, so come Come on and rescue me

I woke up barely able to breathe, and went to the hospital.

It was an embolism, from a DVT in my leg that threw off a clot.

I composed this track from a hospital bed, using GarageBand on my phone.

Lyrics: Better Than Before

Another day ending It’s getting cold Tired of mending It’s getting old What have they done to me

Feel it drawing nearer I’m sick of this place I look in the mirror So sick of this face What have they done to me

she said she would go she said she would she said she would go

Smelling the flowers I’m floating in space I’ve been here for hours With a smile on my face What have they done to me

she said she would go she said she would she said she would go she said she would she said she would go she said she would

Lyrics: Sometimes It’s Hard to Keep Yourself Moving

Wake up in the morning Before the alarm goes Trying to fall back to sleep Still in last night’s clothes Lying half awake, I still can’t get up when the beeping starts Why would I

Sleepwalk through the morning On the way to work That guy on the bicycle is Such a stupid jerk I think I should push him over Just to show him up But why would I

Sometimes it is very hard to keep yourself moving when it’s gone haywire

Monday morning meeting Going way too long Finished up my coffee but the coffee isn’t strong I feel like I need to sleep I need to keep moving but why would I

Tuesday PM meeting Life is way too short Everything I try to say cut off with a retort Why does this guy work here, he’s a jerk, here, I should shut him up why would I

Sometimes it is very hard to keep yourself moving when it’s all haywire

Oh, listen to me Think about the damage done How hard can it be Just to have a little fun

Wednesday morning dreary I get nothing done Thursday comes and Friday goes Still get nothing done I should reconsider my Career choice, find a new voice but Why would I

Sometimes it is very hard to keep yourself moving when it’s gone haywire

Lyrics: Run Faster

I’m giving it my all But I’m heading for a fall When all that I can do Is run faster

For something less than I am worth As I tumble down to Earth But all that I can do Is run faster

Please listen to the way I feel I need to get some more time to heal My lungs are getting ready to explode I can’t run any faster

I get the feeling I should leave It’s getting harder to believe You don’t know what it is I’m going through I’m running faster

How can you tell me what to do If I am dead I will not see things through What you want isn’t easy done or said I’d like to see you run faster

I’ve given you my all But I’m ready for a fall When all you let me do Is run faster

I’ve given you my all But I’m ready for a fall When all you let me do Is run faster
