Sometimes, Deadlines

Liner Notes

This song sprang out of that opening bit : my daughter and I started singing it at the dinner table yesterday. Family joy! The chorus came last. I was initially singing "make me want to kill myself" but that was probably a bit too intense so I toned it down to "cry/die a little".

#pop #demandavoidance

Note to self: hoe do I corrode the fears / implode the fears / disrobe the fears I feed?

Lyrics

All my life I've lived in mirrorland
right and left and wrong
I dont have time to be a real mirror boy
how can I relive the words and deeds?

How can I allay the fears
Dismay the fears
Betray fears I've freed?
How can I belay the fears
Malais the fears
Just like I want to

Sometimes,
Deadlines
make me want
to cry a little
All day
All night
And then I feel okay

Someone else is asking things of me
How can I survive the things you say
cut deep but what's the problem here
how can I repay the things you need?

How can I allay the fears
Dismay the fears
Betray fears I've freed?
How can I belay the fears
Malais the fears
Just like I want to

Sometimes,
Deadlines
make me want
to die a little
All day
All night
And then I feel okay

And then I feel okay

Seems like I'm back on my own again
in my mirror cage
and all the world's a shining 'mirror, mirror' stage
How can I retrace the steps I made?

How can I dismay the things
Allay the things
Betray the things I need?
How can I belay the things
Hurray the things I need?

Sometimes,
Deadlines
make me want
to cry a little
All day
Outside
Then it seems insane

Sometimes,
Deadlines
make me want
to die a little
All day
Outside
And then I feel okay

Feel okay
