A Reconciliation of Sorts – written by gschmitt

I -

If all we’re judged by is what we fare – and what we lost was never there,
then, why is it that I still care?
Though I’m amazed to see your face – The changes that have taken place
Tangled in your own distaste
The subtleties behind these tears – Have kept me from appearing here
And doing what I’ve always feared
Though it seems I’m quick to run – Guess I’m not the only one
Who’s contemplated moving on

II –

all this time I’ve spent fighting you
seems so worthless to bank frustration like I do and
I didn’t come here to tell you that I’m sorry
But after all these years, I am

III –

You look away – and you must find it in your own self
to forgive me soon – or someday
and come what may – we will have covered what we couldn’t handle
and what time has fixed – for me, anyway
and all these things I can’t control, – I offer them to soothe the soul
And write it off as “I don’t know.”
Ascending to this point of view – The more I still have left to do
And the less it has to do with you

IV –

All this time I’ve spent fighting you
seems so worthless to bank frustration like I do and
I didn’t come here to say that I was sorry
But after all these years, I am

V –

Though I had searched, I still can’t find it. I’d circumvent and look behind it.
But it’s in front of me this moment; will not let it slip away. In every idle thought, I’d be reminded
Can’t think about my chance at restoration, ‘cause leaving here right now is preservation.
And a reconciliation, if just for me, is what you see – if only for the sake of my being free
- if only for the sake of my living free.

gschmitt Video – Daze

In this video, gschmitt gives a sneak peek performance of his new, unreleased song Daze.

Daze – written by gschmitt


I may be livin’ in a daze, but baby, there are days I think about you all the time – it’s true
I’d be content to pass my blurry days with the picture of your face; [the] clear cover of my crowded mind –

I do….only ask that you stay, and watch as I try
And give me the Time to get it right
‘cuz I’m still settin’ my course – to you

I may be living in a daze, dreaming up the ways
That I could be a hero, too – it’s true
But thus far, the closest that I came is a superhero cape and a taste for Johnny Walker blue. –

And you….might be less than impressed…and less than amused
Waiting on me to get a clue – well, let’s hope I do

I don’t wanna grow old; in fact, I don’t wanna get no bigger
(But I) got my impulse in a choke-hold
Still got some vulgar in my tongue, and your patience on a hair-trigger…go figure
You don’t even have to say a word – don’t you worry none, cause that look will do

I may be living in a daze (vamp)

Yeah, you don’t look impressed (one time only)

(bridge)
you say there’s a part of me that I can’t see
there’s a part of you that lives in me
there’s a part of me that thinks this to be

and I reply – despite all that I may put you through
there’s a part of me that lives for you
there’s a part of you that knows it’s true.

I may be livin’ in a daze, but baby, there are days I think about you all the time – it’s true

gschmitt – Gone – Video 2

In this video, gschmitt gives a sneak peek performance of his new, unreleased song Gone.

Gone – written by gschmitt

Verse 1:
Have I been – less than – honorable with you?
And it’s likely – you’ll ask – for something I cannot do
And I tend to lose my balance, tie my tongue and go astray, it’s true,
But have I been – less than – honest, love?

Chorus:
Oh, and I watch it slipping away – with every word that you say
And it feels like stopping the rain – with my own two hands
Oh, and at some point I must concede – that I might not be what you need
There’s only so much something can bleed – and when it’s gone, it’s gone

Verse 2:
And you might be – wondering – what has happened to me
It seems we’re – far from – who you remembered us to be
And your hero lost his sword, pulled the cord, took refuge cowardly
‘cause some flowers – need watering – constantly

Verse 3:
Oh, and I watch it slipping away – with every word that you say
And it feels like stopping the rain – with my own two hands
Oh, and at some point I must concede – that I might not be what you need
There’s only so much something can bleed

Bridge:
Is there part of this that will not sit right?
Will a time soon come that you see the light?
Do you still expect me close by your side
When you just keep pushing?

Chorus:
Oh, and I watch it slipping away – with every word that you say
And it feels like stopping the rain – with my own two hands
Oh, and at some point I must concede – that I might not be what you need
There’s only so much something can bleed – before it’s gone – and when it’s gone, it’s gone
