BLUE BALLAD (a one take) Lyrics

Compose a ballad of boisterous proportions

Bawling over caught pearless oysters

Bad habits torching my morals

Bland blue in my peripheral approaches

Blues clues inquiry, searching my motives through motion

Blue melancholy morphs into rose-colored devotion

Clamoring for structure until I'm destroyed or broken

Shrouded in a cloud of anxiety, always worrisome

Chauvinistic show of my love for the hopeless

But am I building up or tearing down?

Digging up or shoving down?

Drowning out or shouting loud?

I guess it's just a moment now

Until my altruistic,

Overly optimistic approach

To my worries leaves me burnt and in the midst

Of a toxic mix of

Thoughts that I thought I killed

I feel them bubble over now, should I just pop a pill?

Let the chemicals melt away all my problems

Melt away my heart

Film over my eyes, product of my art

Let the reel play out, reflections of my heart

Blue-lipped gasping for air, swimming with the sharks

Blue eyes look into my soul leave behind a blotch

Beauty and bruised marks they're all blue

Blue in the face

Blue in my veins

Blue in these words

Blooming in blue

Consumed by grace

I face grief with my shoulders tucked, chin up, eyes down

Break every bone in my body before I bow down

Only bow to God

How'd I make it where am I now?

It's only grace that's kept me out the ground

But still living through the blue

Embrace the highs and lows just always make a move

Embarking on a journey, feel depression in the room,

An elephant up on my mood

Elated that I'm feeling blue

Because it's better than nothing

Could you tell if I was telling the truth?

Because maybe I'm bluffing

Regardless I bloom in the blue

Now watch the mood shuffle
