Selfish Like That

I've been writing with the Fish lately. Here is an acoustic version of "Selfish Like That". It was great to have Rod Knapp from No Reverse Gear join me on this song. It is a deeply emotional song for me. I can't wait to get this one recorded!!!




Covered in white, the happiest day of your life
Covered in black, I hope you're finding peace at last
Covered in gray, you don't feel anything anyway

We're all selfish like that, yes we're all selfish like that

Covered in love, that's the one you take advantage of
Covered in death, its only then you voice your regrets
Covered in fear, it'll hold you still for a moment my dear

We're all selfish like that, yes we're all selfish like that

You don't believe me, no you don't agree
You can't see it the way my eyes see

We're all selfish like that, yes we're all selfish like that

Covered in white, a mistake I'll have for my life
Covered in black, I hope you're finding peace at last
Covered in gray, I guess I'm waiting for a sunny day

The pre mortem decline

Manners.

They are dead.
Hold out your hand, turn your head with no appreciation expressed.
They owe it to you.
Go ahead and tell yourself again.
Its mine, I deserve it.

All The Fish - Dreaming

It's a tough song to sing with the emotions behind it... Look back to the days when you were mine A frozen picture has faded with time Oceans of memories are black & white My regrets show that you know & I know that I'm Dreaming of a place and of a time, when everything feels fine I'm screaming, I'm dreaming I've got to get out of this place because I'm bleeding out inside To show you love now would be unkind Living on your world left me confined Where my road leads I can't define But your love-sick smile sends me to the day where I'm Dreaming of a place and of a time, when everything feels fine I'm screaming, I'm dreaming I've got to get out of this place because I'm bleeding out inside You will wake up and wonder where I've gone You can't follow me, this is the place where I belong Now it's so hard to just say whats on my mind cause I know you're not the one I'll have for all my life Dreaming of a place and of a time, when everything feels fine I'm screaming, I'm dreaming I've got to get out of this place because I'm bleeding out inside Just close your eyes and dream baby just close your eyes and dream of me Baby, maybe we could see each other in a dream so baby, maybe we could just dream
