"Versus" Yields Balance
by Michael Brady
I want to be in love with reality, but who says what is real?
I see things with both eyes and mind; both hands and heart can feel.
To find a balance between body and soul and all the things concealed
Who ordained this quantum realm; whom should I ask to reveal?
Does my mind create the outward world, with sights and smells and touch?
Then I invented masochism, and love my pain too much.
To find a balance between body and soul that both can grasp and clutch
Rely on 'science'? Lean on 'religion'? Are neither, or both, the crutch?
I want to be in love with reality, so how can I know for sure?
Am I a victim to what's outside, or within me is the cure?
To find a balance between body and soul, what can I do more?
Unadulterated truth I seek, for knowledge clean and pure.
I am satisfied with who I am, with all my grief and joy,
My mind and hands, my love and hate--each sense I will employ
To find a balance between body and soul and all the things concealed.
I want to be in love with reality; I acknowledge that *I* am real.

Pain In Love
Pain In Love
by Mike Brady
I used to not care, but now I do
About all those people laughing with you
And when they're done, what will be left?
Nothing between us but this widening rift
I used to believe in fidelity
But now all those people are laughing at me
And my misery
The words are caught inside my mind
Between what's ahead and what's behind
My childish notions just weren't enough
Experience has taught me there's pain in love
Pain in love
The years have gone by, now I'm a man
I have my life, I have my plan
With eyes wide open, I clearly see
That love has brought me misery
Yet as I lie down next to my wife
I know love has also brought joy to my life
Joy to my life
The words are caught inside my mind
Between what's ahead and what's behind
My childish notions just weren't enough
Experience has taught me there's pain in love
Pain in love
The pain you brought into my life
Has helped me appreciate my wife
All the memories come from you
Add meaning when I tell her "I love you,
I love you"
