Do I Do

2005 - 2006

What do I do

What do I do now that the roses have drifted away

Tell me, did they wither in the hot heat of the sun

Were they swept away in the wind or drowned in the rain



Why do you have to lie

I never meant to cut away your defenses

But if avoidance makes you feel safer

Could you say something that makes sense

So as to save me from my own imagination



Words intended to release rhyme never do

Drive down a road that's like a beam of light

And you'll find that though it never bends, it's never straight

Cause nowhere except in the words of a song is life ever certain



If I could just yell

I'd quit this "Nice Guy" persona

Cause who needs a perfect voice

When you're never heard above the crowd

If I could learn to scream

Maybe something useful would come out



What do I do

What do I do now that the roses have drifted away

Tell me, did they wither in the hot heat of the sun

Were they swept away in the wind or drowned in the rain



You said, "You always find something say!"

But what do I do now that the roses have drifted all away

What do I do... do I do... do I do that hasn't been done



Love intended to work is only love waiting to fail

This life is like a chalk outline around a fallen angel

And you'll find that though it never dies it never tries to get up

Cause nowhere execpt in the words of a song is life ever safe
