“So You Think You’re Cursed”
by Orville Neeley
So you think you’re cursed
Well, I know someone who’s been through worse
Not to compete, I just believe that there’s nothing to envy
So you think you’re cursed
We all know someone who’s been through worse
I thought I was too and I wanted to die
I’ve had no excuse
But the real curse lies in not trusting yourself
The real curse lies in placing too much importance
The real curse lies in what others will think
What do they know
So you think you’re cursed
Maybe you are, could it get much worse?
I take myself so seriously and I hate it
Why can’t I be free
From the feeling of guilt always taking over
The feeling of guilt that I’ll never get over
The real curse lies in the misleading lines
That I tell myself

“We All Feel That Way”
by Orville Neeley
Would it kill you to look forward
Would it kill you to laugh
Is it better to be bored
Or to bore someone else?
If you’re gonna say it out loud
Keep your voice down
We’re not listening anyway
Still we don’t wanna hear it
If you feel bad, you know
We all feel that way
If you’re too shy
Keep it to yourself
Would it matter if you cried
Would it kill you to be quiet
Who’s it helping when you say
That we all feel that way?
If you feel bad, you know
We all feel that way
If you’re too shy
Keep it to yourself
If you feel bad
We all feel that way

“Passage Unfamiliar”
by Orville Neeley
Perfume rags to cover my death bed
Incense heat, only light where you tread
Passage unfamiliar
About face into destruction
Exit discreet, who do you know
Passage unfamiliar
And I’m not so sure of myself anymore
Mind is my bed, corpse is my coffin
Long lay dead, smoked by the sun
Passage unfamiliar
Twilit home, starlit surrounding
No one calls from this chasmic unknown
There’s no way out, and no way around
Once you enter, the only way is through
Passage unfamiliar
I’m not so sure about you anymore
Passage unfamiliar
And I’m not so sure of myself anymore
Passage unfamiliar

“City Of Gold”
by Orville Neeley
The city of gold does not contain
The physical thing you want to attain
Its riches lie buried within yourself
Its riches lie buried in plain sight
But those riches lie and your greed is absurd
Within the realm of human ideas
Without the thought or care
The city of gold does not retain
Questions nor memories of any remain
Its answers lie buried within yourself
Its answers lie buried in plain sight
Its answers lie and you believe every word
Within the realm of human creation
Without the thought or care
Within the realm of human experience
Without the thought or care
Its answers lie and you believe every word
