The Words I Want to Say by Lori Jean Finnila

Verse

I’m thinking happiness and sad

both close together

I’m confused

I know not to tire

I’m trying to see where I am

In my sight, a dark mass moves 

sadly enough when I try to imagine what it is

My sight sees it perfectly outlined

though I can’t perfectly define it

Chorus

I won’t worry everyday

just because I keep

forgetting the words 

I want to say

Verse

It’s perfectly outlined and black

though not the deepest 

compared to its entirety

almost like a shadow 

I see the silhouette

I can still verbalize it out loud

I know not to fear this is normal

I don’t know when it’s coming back

Chorus

I won’t worry everyday

just because I keep forgetting 

the words I want to say

Verse

I’m not crazy

though it looks like I am

I work everyday to camouflage this vision

I know I’m not the only one

who has problems 

all at the same time

Chorus

I won’t worry everyday

just because I keep forgetting 

the words I want to say

repeat chorus

The Words I want say

repeat 3x

‘I Can Overcome You’ #newsong #lyrics #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #spiritualhealing

Maybe we can find new love someday.

I’m working on this because it’s so deep and came from a place of fear in my life. I connect so beautifuly to the lyrics I wrote and hope it can be as successful as Up On a High Wire of mine.

I Can Overcome You

You take me down

By one look at you

Though I’m drawn to you

I still have fear to face

You’re so powerful

Your strength takes me down

At the same time 

The strongest to my imagination

You are outside of my conception

though I’ll find a way

To take my steps to you

Chorus

I’ll give all my love to you

Though my fear appears

To be stronger than

Your depth is far equal to

I know I can overcome you

Verse

Your dark and long

Dry and strong

Holding me in my chest

I can’t breathe

I can’t see straight

But in reality

You’re just a beautiful place

Bridge

Am I to  move on from here

To take these steps

And once I do

They’ll be so many more 

I know so sadly but so true

Chorus

I’ll give all my love to you

Though my fear appears

To be stronger than

Your depth is far equal to

I know I can overcome you…

But it’s okay

As long as I walk toward you to the end 

where I cradle the fear that holds me in

I know I can overcome you

I can overcome you

"Rose Colored Window" #songcomposition #experimental #expression #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

 I did an experimental expression composition this week for my upcoming Fri singer songwriter podcast. My mind was too tired to push after the CT scan of my damaged eyes to push for a proper chorus. I thought the sound of one I picked previously was of expression though, so I trusted the universe and went with it. Let me know what you think if you listen to the podcast. I don't know why I can't get to my messages from here. If you need to reach me, please email me at ljpworks@outlook.com.

Rose Colored Window by Lori

Verse

I feel weightless with dreams

I’m light and airy though

it might not be 

where I should be thinking

I might be bouncing 

around into things

Verse

The air is cold and dark

I can almost read it

why should it be 

any different 

then

Verse

I’m scared at the thought 

of having to sit on the floor

after I’ve reached for help

from the steel frame 

of my hammock

in the dark now in a new way

Bridge

I’m echoing

as I’m chattering

bringing in a new sensation

to an unknown movement

It’s tricky. at the thought 

but I’m trying

Verse

I‘m bouncy, I’m unsinkable

my dreams are calling me

though I should be sinking

I’m staying afloat

I’ll bring sunshine into my life

As I open the shade

as I progress

to this rose colored window

"I'm Staying Afloat" #newsonglyrics #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

The final version of the song I wrote in last week's podcast at Lori Jean Finnila Singer Songwriter podcast. Listen to it recorded this week starting Thursday/Friday (depending on where you listen).

Blushing Rosette #newsong #lyrics #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

I just wrote this song for this week’s podcast at Lori Jean Finnila.

Blushing Rosette

Verse

Verse

I was taught to perk up my back

Like the old ones behind me to get respect

Turn my head, put my nose up in the air

Plumped skirts 

Flowered hats

Nail polished tights

Vaselined patent leather

for Saturday night        church

Close your eyes and ears

To the neighbors affairs

Chorus

You’re in the magic

Rosette

I was told will come to me 

You being very impatient

Won’t help you blushing rosette

Verse

I may be French but I tell you 

There is nothing to bashful

Why I have to try so hard to masquerade

I don’t know

Bridge

The cold chewy fruit cake at holidays

Stale leftover salty snacks

In a smoke filled room

Leftover from the adults

Chorus

You’re in the magic

Rosette

I was told will come to me 

You being very impatient

Won’t help you blushing rosette

Verse

The allure in all this

My sweet smiles turn to 

dirty pants with mud

A fishing pole with slime

Still 20 years later

I’m still rosy to this

Chorus

You’re in the magic

Rosette

I was told will come to me 

You very impatient girl

You blushing rosette

blushing rosette

repeat

you blushing rosette

blushing rosette

repeat x3

"Floating Around Me" #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #updatedsong #rocknroll

 "Floating Around Me" (originally Flyin' Around Me)

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay 


Verse
You want me
You don't
You see me
You don't ... mostly

Chorus
You're always floating around me
Not really wanting me
Set me free
You didn't even want our baby

Verse
You say you can't live without me
Need me like a teddy bear
Man, you never even delivered

Chorus

Verse
You cry to me
your wet dreams
since I'm gone
I don't give a damn anymore

Bridge
You brag you've slept with my best friend

Took all the family
Never liked my gifts

Chorus

Updated Two Abuse Songs #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #abusesongs

I rewrote two songs.

Thinking About You

Verse

Don’t know why I’m thinking

It’s sick if you really think of it

It’s mad for me to stop

And waste so much time

Thinking about you..

Chorus

You left me bruised

You left me torn

I had nowhere to turn

I had nowhere to run

You kept me down

So all alone

I shouldn’t even

be ……...

thinking about you

Verse

I sit here on the couch

Sad with tears

Alone in my place 

I drink when

there’s no reason

Chorus

You left me bruised

You left me torn

I had nowhere to turn

I had nowhere to run

I shouldn’t be thinking about you

Verse

When I see you 

I shouldn't want you

But somehow 

my heart aches

Even though you are

standing here right in front of me

Putting me down the same old way………

Bridge

I know pain is only temporary

My heart would heal someday

I just needs to take a chance

Take a breath and walk away

Maybe I've learned

Finally one more time

Not turn around

When you make you way toward me

Chorus

You left me bruised

You left me torn

I had nowhere to turn

I had nowhere to run

I’m thinking again

I’m thinking again

Again and again and again

Ooooooo

I’m thinking about you

I’m thinking about you

Ooooooo

ooooooooo

It's So Simple

Verse

So simple

It's hard to say

How do I tell you

 

Chorus

It's so simple

What I need

I can't tell you

It's how I feel

 

Verse

I try to tell you

So many times

I can't put into words

My emotions

 

I want to scream

The importance

My mind can't tell you

Chorus

It's so simple

What I need

I can't tell you

It's how I feel

Verse

I know you know

If I don't tell you 

I'll die

Bridge

The frustration bad

I feel I can blow up

If I'm not healed

Chorus

It's so simple

What I need

I can't tell you

It's how I feel

Please don't ask me

at all

Just take my hand

And……. make it better……

It's so simple

It's so simple

What I need
