[Lyric] It Could Be Real (Joey Cape)
It's a long way back from a twenty-year nap and I'm out of practice now Another mistletoe in a transient tomb for those who've been beaten down But it could be real, it could be real for some I can be real, I can be real enough If there's a long way round it's where I will be found and I'll get a lazy start Another perfect day to ignore any pain...Learn MorerockJoey Cape[Lyric] Check Your Ego at the Door (Joey Cape)
Check your ego at the door This is what you're waiting for Storied pictures, cameos The only real that you know Less is more each passing day Cut to floor, whittle away Your self-image slowly fades A mirrored frame without a face You hide away from them as if it wasn't always planned Born of necessity, new bright eyes and vital needs The fragile...Learn MorerockJoey Cape[Lyric] Fictional (Joey Cape)
Head down in uniform she walks the common hall in search of the familiar The adoration ball Where no one is the wiser No one cares to disagree A world view in a vacuum The balance is a breeze And the skin fits the occasion They are dressed for mirroring in a false light of filtering I wanna be like them I wanna be like them If only to feel like...Learn MorerockJoey Cape[Lyric] Heavy Lies the Head (Joey Cape)
Heavy lies the head of the altruist because they wouldn't ask for what they won't receive Though their actions may be bold all the grateful have grown old And those models haven't sold for a century Exile is the way of benevolence while the cynics won't believe in selfless deeds Sighting motive and deceit in an act of decency Projecting skeptic...Learn MorerockJoey Cape[Lyric] Saturday Night Fever (Joey Cape)
Hanging out with Mochi on a sunny groundhog day Vitamin D deficiency as her life goes on unchanged There's time to do most anything and burden fades away But the woes on hold are goin' broke and there's no more pretending. Say goodnight It's Saturday night dear Saturday night Something ain't right here It's Saturday night We're still stuck here...Learn MorerockJoey Cape[Lyric] We Might Be Wrong (Joey Cape)
How can you say that? How can you call it evidence? Maybe it's wanting while growing numb to the consequence The woke mob common sense and you won't break We are born ignorant, stupid is something that you learned Spreading like magic, that dust that you breath will not concern Confirmation bias trance How can you be certain? We might be...Learn MorerockJoey Cape[Lyric] Come Home (Joey Cape)
Did I steal another melody? At least it's one of mine From start to end or maybe in between we take it like a bribe A sordid chapter in life Come home Come home Come home Jump the freight train Flee the gallows tree The world got in my face Treading the line of shame and self-esteem Those tracks to somewhere safe We can never out grow them I'm...Learn MorerockJoey Cape[Lyric] Nickel and Lead (Joey Cape)
Our house, undone by flood and drought Our house, frozen, thawed, then burnt down Our house, the sirens of cops echo its doubt Our home Where I'm unknown None of it reason why I roam So scared to speak or turn another phrase Hope you’re well-fed But where is your head? What's gone to your head? Nickel and lead Nickel and lead Homemade,...Learn MorerockJoey Cape[Lyric] A Good Year to Forget (Joey Cape)
How can I describe the year? Forfeit to the fog and hibernation and long lucid dreams fighting boredom Illustrating mad fatigue Every day a blank page off the record I finally learned, life is precious Dammit and the old man died Dammit and the pundit lied Dammit and a culture cancelled everything In a house broken doors, none of us remember...Learn MorerockJoey Cape[Lyric] The Poetry in Our Mistakes (Joey Cape)
The beautiful flaw of being wrong Imperfect in pitch, civil in song Fantastical flight, emotive rewrite Singing I, no I don't lie You wanna to believe what best serves you Repeating the lie until it's truth And you feel so alive, safe and allied Reciting I, oh I don't lie The quote miner's gold. The narrative fit Stand and surmise. The bias...Learn MorerockJoey Cape
