FAWM sometimes prompts us to finish things that have lain around as fragments for decades.

lyrics

Right out of the blue, and in public too,
Mad at yourself but you turn it my way;
I can’t set it right, you know I hate to fight
I just give in but it isn’t okay.

I’m not gonna say nothing
Oh-- I’ve got nothing to say
To answer tonight, Would just start a fight;
When you’re feeling this way-- No answer is right--
Someone’s gotta be patient,
How long is someone gonna be me?
I could always decline and its not a good sign that I
Find I’m wondering how to get free

You lay into me, like an enemy,
Like the face you see isn’t a friend.
As you remonstrate, I just abdicate,
Stare out the window, and wait for the end

I’m not gonna say nothing
Oh-- I’ve got nothing to say
To answer tonight, Would just start a fight;
When you’re feeling this way-- No answer is right--
Someone’s gotta be patient,
How long is someone gonna be me?
I could always decline and its not a good sign that I
Find I’m thinking how to get free

Practiced harmonies filling my memories
Trying my heart to ease, peace to attain
There’s no way to win; all the time I put in
I have to chew off to be free of this pain

I’m not gonna say nothing
Oh-- I’ve got nothing to say
To answer tonight, Would just start a fight;
When you’re feeling this way-- No answer is right--
Someone’s gotta be patient,
How long is someone gonna be me?
I could always decline and its not a good sign that I
Find I’m planning how to get free
