Lyrics: Ponies at Dawn
Music: Ponies at Dawn
What's the use, what's the way ahead?
When I can’t even get out of bed
When the end is the start
And the beating of my heart
Has all but gone away, what's the use?
-
When the day is the same
And nothing seems to change
I wake up, I lay still
I’m losing all my will
And the weight it only grows
My thoughts catch, pull and slow
My passions all but gone away, what's the use? What's the use?
-
What's the use? Cause I'm truly confused.
I refuse to accept that you've - ran out of juice.
Out of bed buddy, you gotta get - outta ya head buddy-
If you ain't productive with me, prepare for head butting
I gotta practice - you gotta set up ya track list.
You better eat your breakfast, fast, because the fact is
Only way to get out this funk is through your music.
It infuses you right over the hump, until you're through it.
So let's do it, imma tune my strings, you get to spinnin’
in a minute, you'll get back into the groove once you're in it.
My opinion is you're only in this rut to a limit
If you get kinetic with your set, trust you'll commit it.
I'll admit there can be times you just ain't feelin’ it
Ya dealin’ with a real heavy weight and it's sealing
all your energy, and you're concealing all your empathy,
you're empty, and you've spent yourself... with no remedy...
-
I don’t know where to go
I travel down a darker road
Than I’ve ever gone before
I can hear quiet strings
A softer, wiser, gentler thing
She hasn’t gone so far away
Am I of use?
-
Rain clouds part
A distant memory
My waking heart
A glimpse of clarity
The one I hold dear
My piece of sanity
Oh she is near
She’ll stay with me
yeah she is near
-
Listen girl I'm with you, won't ditch you, I'll hold this vigil
We can be empty together, not forever, I won't let you.
You're the reason I'm as strong as I am, so let me get you.
Wanna sleep, I'll be your pillow, wanna cry? I'm your tissue.
On this issue, I'll convince you, I need you, Vinyl I miss you.
So it's cool that we can BE sad together-cause then we'll get through.
So c'mon, let me lift you. Music can be our tribute.
Use it and it can give you the beauty and truth it imbues. Let's continue,
because, hidden within you is your hunger to compete with me, my need to win too
And I can't do it without you, I doubt you ever knew that.
The times when I was tired and weak you helped me through that.
The moments I was slipping away, you'd come and fetch me.
The hole of hopelessness I was tripping I knew you'd catch me.
It's Scratch and me, the Turntables and Cello.
The tables turned, so hell no, I won't allow you to settle.
-
I’m not well, I’m not me
But she knows who I can be
She’s by my side, I feel her close
She’s the one I love the most
Maybe that's all I need
Until I can finally see
The way ahead
I am of use
