So I answered, “Nothing could be further from the truth. When you told me you had evidently gathered proof So I’ll shoulder all the blame. You blame me anyway. As we punctuate the words we know we shouldn’t say. We agreed to disagree on every single thing. And we promised to remain in touch without a single ring. So we’ll wade in the deep end while we can’t depend. On the history that we erase and can’t defend. So I thought I saw you walking just the other day You were not alone, so I just looked the other way.

Wash off the night, embrace the day Remember black and white make many shades of gray You bargained for a show, you just may get a play Accept the past, except today Play past what you can’t change And watch it float away It isn’t set in stone, but it may be here to stay Collect your memories. Memories. Ignore the errand thoughts In all their ways You won’t believe how fast it all decays Will you stand taller on top of feet of clay? Embrace the day…

Melinda 02:28
You think that he’s adorable. You’re close. He’s deplorable. Take your blinders off. Melinda He’s not the dreamboat that he seems. Shipwreck, just consider why he’s playing for both teams. Melinda You’re lining up to be a feather in his cap. Just one more broken girl played for one more sap. Melinda

Every other day, someone passes by Breaking the illusion…everyone has died. The yard is filled with broken glass and wild grass I wish it knew…it doesn’t need to grow I’m outside, sitting very still I’m watching everything until…the sun retires on Belladonna Road The lonely house across the street…a dull veneer of ugly army green…nothing to see here The maple leaves are shedding fast…there goes the last The heartwood’s stripped away…it’s seen its day. I’m outside, sitting very still I’m watching everything until…the sun retires on Belladonna Road Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy just to be Away from everything that asks too much of me. Before another thought can come along I need just one more chorus in the song

The knife you’re searching for is lodged between my blades It has your fingerprints but still you ask me why I’m so afraid Nobody loves you like, loves you like your friends I let you in, you froze me out, you crossed a line And now you serve a cup of nerve with fake concern and ask if I am fine Nobody loves you like, loves you like your friends The cost of lost emotion never gets reduced But all good memories should end in what we hope is a truce Acid just consumes whoever begs to own its hate The toxic road we’re traveling is lined with words you chose to marinate Nobody loves you like, loves you like your friends

ForGiveness 02:53
Fragments of my life remain in disrepair. There are moments I’m not sure I’m anywhere Waiting to inspire me Before they can retire me ForGiveness ForGiveness For a start, it seemed the well was well and dry. Wish there was a book on how I could get by Visions blur behind my eyes Every day’s a compromise. ForGiveness ForGiveness You wanna peek behind the curtain Some things are better left uncertain Sometimes it’s better not to see what will be. Thinking ‘bout the words you said, While staring at an empty bed ForGiveness ForGiveness

If Will is right and the world’s a play, don’t you play it safe. Reading someone else’s lines at center stage. Knowing everything at such a tender age Doesn’t leave much mystery for when you turn the page. Happy isn’t on the menu Time to choose another venue…and then you If life’s a joke what’s the punch line? And who’ll be left to laugh. Are we tourists reading maps along the path? Two unequal sides of someone else’s coin Just another club that they won’t let you join. Happy isn’t on the menu Time to choose another venue…and then you

He’s married to the dials on his pedalboard He yields his power as he swings his angry sword While kids in dirty Converse lean on the wall looking bored. The sound man sets the volume as my head explodes The drummer plays a rhythm that I can’t decode The song is long forgotten lost in a world of its own Between song banter doesn’t do a thing for me The bassist checks his tuning oh, so carefully They make a sound I can’t believe was intended to be

Stars Unseen 02:27
Once I played in a broken-down arcade Now I dream of a somewhat future scene I want to build a new machine Extend my view for stars unseen Found my muse through a hazy maze of blues Made my way through an ocean of decay I want to build a new machine Extend my view for stars unseen Translucent rooms through younger eyes Laughs at the insanity of compromise Once I played under trees of broken shade And I dreamed of circling the stars unseen
