Missing The Harmonies ©Molli Paige

A quiet hush in their ears
Is anybody listening?
...they are missing...
                     ...missing the harmonies...
           ...missing the subtle strings coming up in the verse
the falsetto voice just a veil in the chorus
even when the minor chord sets in
the beauty should have you breathing in...mesmerized
knowing there's something hidden...to be uncovered
there's too many people not listening


So much pretending
masking what's real
it's all too big 
for one lifetime to fill
why waste an experience with hate
just to have a redo and repeat


We should be alive through each and every measure
but we're too busy running the distance, too busy to discover
never really listening to the inner rhythm 
a blended orchestration, in constant motion


...quiet...listen, it's all around you and inside of you
a beautiful rendition...waiting to be heard and savored with pleasure


There's too many people not listening
...they are missing...
               ...missing the harmonies of life

Still ©Molli Paige

I'll travel far, in my dreams, just to breathe you in

Inside that realm, your words can't sting

There's a want so deep, but it stays out of reach

Intent and committed to painting your own picture

keeping you from seeing the true colors of my nature

So, I'm no stranger to dreaming, I'll give you that

Still, I was

Still, I am, the same present of mind

it's not some foolish game, not some foolish thrill

the hunger for truth always yearns to be stilled

for so long, one by one, I held on for a change

just something that never came

I'll take the good, and stow it away

There's far too many landscapes we have made

some perfect combination of a dream through time

there'll be another you

there'll be another me

there's no turning off

there's no magic to delete

just a dimmer of a switch

casting a light in the shadows of this life

my heart will know when and where to find...

I'll travel far, just to breathe you in

Inside that realm, your words can't sting
