Was playing this song earlier and I really dug it, which doesn’t happen a lot with my own songs. I should probably get on recording this and my “album” sometime.
Untitled
Here lie the fragments of a broken yesterday,
and the soul of a boy cursed to live it.
“This is a headline in my mind,” they all would say,
as the ties begin to curdle and they mutter, “I can’t forgive it.”
Salty hands, wiping down the rivers on your face
before shoving them in pockets hoping no one sees.
Must be comfortable living in that little bubble,
and when I turn around to wave all I get is your back to me.
CHORUS:
Blink once, and I’m still here.
And once again, you’re too near.
I wish we could disappear
from this town.
Black and white, the only shades that appear to you.
My heart is just a pawn in your little chess game.
Stare as hard as you want, but this ain’t no magic mirror,
and in the end when I’m gone all you’ll have is yourself to blame.
Blink once, you’re still here.
And once again, I’m too near.
I wish we could disappear
from this town.
From this town.
If there’s a place that exists that we can finally go,
Take my hand, we’ll board a train, or we’ll never know…
CHORUS:
Blink once, and we’re still here.
And once again, everybody’s getting nearer.
I wish we could disappear
from this town.
Or we’ll never know.
