The Joke (Lyrics/Structure as of 04/03/2013)

Rough late night recording (and mix down) of a new Song kindly listened to and given input to by The Songmakers Group at The Songwriting School of Los Angeles, so I could craft it.
Voice NOT warmed up and since it was late, I didn't sing fully as not to disturb the neighbors, so not as strong a vocal as it will have in a fuller produced version to come.
Running away, won't bring me closer
Hiding down a hole's like waiting in a grave
I've gotta chase the things that scare me
Get off my high horse, and Just be Brave
A
Reasons will never get me answers
Locking the doors just leaves me in jail
I must embrace the ones who left me
Light up my light house, and then set sail
B
Sometimes, I'm alone
Sometimes, I am lonely
I really just gotta stop,
confusing them
B
What’s next, I must earn
The best crash and burn,
That’s how they learn
that's how we get to grow
A
Blaming the past just wastes the future
Begging for change, just says that I'm broke
I gotta break the me that's broken
Time to get serious and get the joke
C
Why do I always go too far, and never far enough
I never seem to have it all, though I have too much stuff
I say I hate playing these games, but only when I lose
Complain I didn't have a choice, after I finally choose...
A
instrumental
B
The world is a stage
But I'm not a player
I write, cast, direct and star
and choose my role
A
it's no rehearsal,
no understudy
the curtains rinsing
the world is watching
It's kinda funny
from joy to bloody
It's all My Show
