Daily Lyric: NO SONG
No song yesterday / No song today / I’m avoiding something / What it is I can’t say.

Daily Lyric: BEYOND WORDS
It’s late / The day is spent / I lay and wait / For the sun’s descent / Another day / Gone up in smoke / What can I say / I already spoke.

Daily Lyric: NO NEW SONG
I’ve got so much that I want to say / I try to will it but the pen won’t obey / Looks like there’ll be no new song today.

I had to move on / Get a groove on / Put my shoes on / And walk away from the BLUNGE.

Metadiscourse is useless, but that’s all that’s left / Once the muse has flown and left me bereft.
