We Can Do It Together

Trying to write a feel good song in bad times Trying to look straight ahead but paths wind Keep my head up and follow the cat eyes Every time I steady the ship, I capsize Pastimes pass time and that's fine But zips by and it's gone and that's life I act like I'm invincible and have time Is dementia genetic am I stuck on my Dad's side? Who knows, kudos to you though It's enough waking up without wanting to judo Chop... every person who gets in your way When you didn't even wanna bother Getting up today But the blues ain't forever Just the usual weather This int a foolish endeavour We can do it together Keep having dreams Even if no-one believes in them Breathe in and be free Things aren't as bleak as they seem Keep having dreams Even if no-one believes in them Breathe out any doubt Things aren't as bleak as they seem Trying to write a feel good song but feel crap Mental health grabs the top of your noggin and peels back Or kicks the heck out of your energy with steel caps Everyone's self esteem reveals gaps But the person in charge is you Many simple tasks we can hardly do Waking up in the morning is carnage too Wanna kill yourself before you've had a brew Stop... put the kettle on Put some good hip-hop or some metal on Don't put the news or the telly on And don't take any crap from anyone But the blues ain't forever Just the usual weather This int a foolish endeavour We can do it together Keep having dreams Even if no-one believes in them Breathe in and be free Things aren't as bleak as they seem Keep having dreams Even if no-one believes in them Breathe out any doubt Things aren't as bleak as they seem Tried to write a feel good song but hate lots Posed selfie taking, likes and faceswaps Celebrity worship, sycophants, name drops That factory they have in hell that makes pop If there's a bad smell people don't wanna sniff it But bad sounds in your ears - people live with it You are the product - of what you put in your body That's why everyone seems to cut or they copy Couldn't we probably start again and agree that love for a hobby's A greater purpose than needing people to look at you properly? Cos you emulate them and you look like twins We get the blues sometimes cos we don't fit in But the blues ain't forever Just the usual weather This int a foolish endeavour We can do it together Keep having dreams Even if no-one believes in them Breathe in and be free Things aren't as bleak as they seem Keep having dreams Even if no-one believes in them Breathe out any doubt Things aren't as bleak as they seem Tried to write a feel good album, guess what? It still came out a little jaded and pissed off But I did all the production and there's no guest spots And it makes me smile so I gave it my best shot I needed this the reason is my recent thing is being miserable I'm stuck between this feeling that I'm pitiful For not being a stronger individual Versus falling apart cos my Dad's in an assisted living home Cos people have got it worse And everybody dies, at least he was there from birth At least he was spared the curse Of being aware that we are despairing at the unfairness as people Prepare him to leave the earth
