enthusiasm

"We rely more on enthusiasm more than actual skill...Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically and people will like it more. I can't sing like Beyonce, I can't write songs like Elton John, but we can do the best with what we can with what we've got...so that's what we do...we just go for it." - Chris Martin

lost coastlines



Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the quay.
No one waving for me just the shoreline receding.
Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in.
Cause who said sailing is fine?
leaving behind all the faces that I
might replace if I tried on that long ride,
looking deep inside
but I don't want to look so deep inside yet.

Sit down, sit down on the prow to wave bye,
there might not be another star, further on the line.
Look out, look out at each town that glides by,
and there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes.

And see how that light you love now just won't shine,
there might just be another star,
that's high and far in some other sky.
We sing, Is that marionette real enough yet
to step off of that set to decide
what her dance might be doing?
Ruining the play to, in the ensuing melee, escape?
We packed up all of our bags
the ship's deck now sags from the weight of our tracks
as we pace beneath flags black and battered
rattling our swords in service of some fated, foreign lord.

And we sail out on orders from him
but we find the maps he sent to us don't mention lost coastlines.
Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined
and we don't recognize the names upon these signs.

And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide,
well we have lost our way, nobody's gonna say it outright.
Just go la la la la la la la la la.....
