I'm a songwriter from Lockport, NY, USA. I started writing songs on a Heit acoustic guitar at age ten, and continued throughout my angst ridden high school and college years. I gave up songwriting and pretended to be an adult for a couple of decades. Now my kids are done with college and I can stop pretending. Nobody was buying it anyways. I recently started writing songs again, concentrating on songs with strong melodies that people can hum along to on their way home from work. The whole introspective, angst-ridden thing is long gone. Anyway, I can still feed any introspective tendencies by working on my musical-drama-in-progress, which has the cheery title, "The Death Book."

Lyrics
Back When I Knew Everything ©2008 Mark Schuessler Verse1 When did the colors of my life turn gray? When did my world become a cruel cliché? Whatever happened to that yesterday? Lift1 When I was young And life was fun And full of sunshine Chorus Back when I knew everything And every taste was sweeter Back when I knew everything And luck? I wouldn’t need her Back when I knew everything And everything was new Still wet with dew I held the future on a string Back when I knew everything Verse2 Where is the dream I had when dreams were free? Where is the man I was meant to be? Look in the mirror is that really me? Lift2 A thousand lies Have aged these eyes But am I wiser? Repeat Chorus Bridge I never caught a scent of what the years would bring I’m still sweating dues How could I lose With all I used to know? All I used to know… Repeat Chorus
