lyrics

No Other He

He had so much to say
Felt useless anyways
Wish this was not to be
Delaying most every dream

Was
Not
Was not that long ago
Seemed a familiar show
Had a familiar flow

Take
A
Take a stab just fall flat
Hang it up, pack those bags
Go right back to the back

On and on this would go
Never quite seemed to slow
Hit repeat
Do again
Walk away
Once again

Talk about tiring
Wears him down
To the seams
He gets up every time
Force himself to be kind

Give it up
Just say no
How much more
Will he blow
Tis his life
Tis his being
There is no other he
Of thee I sing

Had
He
Had he another chance
He'd choose a different past
He'd find a different path

So
That
So that he could be
Free of screwed histories
Free of these things

'Friad that's not how it works
Only one time on earth
Hit repeat
Do again
Walk away
Once again

Talk about tiring
Wears him down
To the seams
He gets up every time
Force himself to be kind

Give it up
Just say no
How much more
Will he blow
Tis his life
Tis his being
There is no other he
Of thee I sing

Makes of it what he can
Moves his feet looks around
Can he find solid ground
Give it up just say no

Give it up
Just say no
How much more
Will he blow
Tis his life
Tis his being
There is no other he
Of thee I sing

He waited patiently
There was no destiny
There were no days to see
All that he was to be

about

Brian Shapiro Band image

Brian Shapiro Band Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Shapiro’s storytelling focuses on themes of distorted thinking, the idea of what it means to be normal, and the question of how to accept hard truths we may not be ready to accept. Shapiro has been called a keen observer in his songwriting capacity with a freewheeling creativity that sparkles with skewed humor. With a powerful, yet intimate voice, Shapiro speaks to the hyperbolic times we live in. ... more
