Ms. Fortune and Her Mate

Oh, Ms. Fortune and her mate have finally set the date
They’re breaking hearts around the world
Telling us no, now we’ve got no place to go
And our feelings don’t matter at all
I should have kept up the wall
And now Ms. Fortune is cycling through my mind
Like a ring on a finger
Ms. Fortune, as you know,
Of all I loved, I loved you most
Now the door has closed for you and me
I’m getting sick and tired as I repeat myself again
In what I hope is my last song to you
What a waste of time!
While I forget you you’re walking down the aisle
With a ring on your finger
Ms. Fortune disregard. The things I say are said in hurt
But don’t expect me to wish you well
I don’t know what you see in him
That wasn’t already in me
Now here I am wasting my breath
My dreams are cruel and cold
Because you chose him, your mate’s wrapped around you
The ring’s on your finger
Oh, Ms. Fortune
Oh, Ms. Fortune

Damnation's Lullaby
02:43

As sure that nothing’s guaranteed or promised
As sure that dark precedes the light
As sure that hearts will always be broken
Your sins will find you
Your sins will find you
For every action that ruined another
For every soul I’ve led astray
I took a blade and left a gaping hole
Between my lungs, mmm
Between my lungs, mmm
As sure that one day we will perish
By separating wheat and chaff
Damnation dictates destination
Your sins will find you
Your sins will find you

Lost Time (Home Demo)
03:20

I’ve gotten lost
What started has stopped
I’m moving but standing in place
I looked around and no one was found
At some point we all walked away
Friends that would call
Plans that were made
I put them off to try on another day
Choices were made
They haunt me today
I’m living but don’t feel alive
I was in a dark place
Some things I can’t explain
We can’t always do this alone
I wasn’t o.k.
Perspectives have changed
I’m ready to try now I’m at a different age
Can we make up for all the lost time?
Can we make up for all the lost time?

The Enigmatic Foe Knoxville, Tennessee
With sharp lyrics, the playful pop bite of the best of the 70s and 80s, and the kind of self-deprecation usually reserved
for a Woody Allen movie, Jared Colinger's lyrics run the gamut from the joy of new love to disillusionment with the old, from wanting to like yourself to being afraid of what we have in our minds.
The new music coming in 2023.
