Another improvised piano/vocal thing. There's parts of this i might extract and turn into a more ordinary song structure and turn some of the words around to make more sense. Until then... this is a very very very very very rough draft. Please react or skip, accordingly!
I'm Fine. I'm Just Lying (The Square root of nonsense, part I)
===============================================================
I can't pretend
that i do not care
I see you around when i look everywhere
and i still smell
your sweet perfume
and i still dreams
of nights with you
These are times that are trying
they'd be nice to share with you i'm sure
Evening times, and sometimes crying
is all that i know how to do
but i wouldn't change a thing
i'm more productive in this misery
I feel i'm on a journey to change my world
and yours and yours and yours
so please don't hate me
or why i choose these things
i try to do what i think is best
for everything
But why do i know
i don't know
it's all a grand experiment
and sometime we all gotta go
but before i do
i hope to leave
a few words in some ears (that will)
do some healing
and some changing
do some healing
and some changing
do some healing
and some changing
if you help someone
it's worth it
even if it is just some one
it's worth it
if its just one person
it's still worth it
I'm shooting higher
than i ever shot before
and I choose alone
even without you

The change before "please don't hate me" is lush and gorgeous. I think there could be a couple songs' worth in here if you're looking for total lyrical/harmonic unity... but as is, this already goes places like a good song ought to. Haunting and tender. Lovely.

Oh, this is lovely, raw, earnest and heartbreaking. You truly captured the pain you were trying to convey here. Well done, once again, sir.
