one guitar, a million thoughts

I like to write when I feel spiteful; it's like having a good sneeze.~ D. H. Lawrence

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. ~Maya Angelou

shreds
for the groupies

you got away with what is yours
what's mine is still unknown
how can you not know
you cost me my patience?
i've never seen your shadow
never walked through your door
i've never seen you happy or sad
i don't know what you have

but you tear me down to shreds
and i like it
confetti in your mind
that's what i am
i'll shower you with me
would that be all right?

i don't get tired of you
when you're not aware of me
you've caused me too many day dreams
i can't relate to life
i've never seen what is beyond your eyes and hands
but i do know there is a way
so how long do i have to wait?

'coz you tear me down to shreds
and i like it
confetti in your mind
that's what i am
i'll shower you with me
would that be all right?

if i let you in my dreams tonight
you have the right to stay tonight
and never wake me up
'coz it feels so right
doesn't it feel all right?


playroom
for the frustrated and annoyed

i can't teach you tricks
yo uare not a dog
can't expect your grace
you are not my god
so how can i relate to you?
how can i tell if...

you want to kill me
or segregate me
or take me to a place i've never been to?
dress me down or make me over
or leave me hanging in a corner somewhere?

i can't fix you now
i don't have the tools
i can't disagree
i don't have the right
so how can i see through you?
how can i tell if...

you want to punch me
or reprimand me
or leave me here where i do not want to stay
you feed my sadness
add to my madness
to you the best thing is my defeat

you're toying my pride
i'm letting it loose
but try to be
try to be me

i can't see you
could it be that you're not real?
and i can't close your eyes
'coz you are not me
so how would you like to talk?
take me out for a walk...

and tell me false things
and tell me they're true
and then accuse me of not listening to you?
you crush my ego
you think i don't know?
you want to keep me in your little playroom

keep me in your little playroom
in your little playroom
little playroom

relax
for the escapists

no one's bleeding
no one's to blame
i'm cool
it's all good
you had to go
and find yourself
not bad

in spite of myself
you gave me nothing
but happiness profound
and it did me wonders
and i'm cool
no one's bleeding
no one's to blame

and i fed my tears to the lions in my head
never neglected the thought of your return
arms to wrap, eyes to trap
and i lose my reasons

cold and hot nights
the same
rain and sunshine
the same
come back, come back
bring back color
bring back weather

you did not leave
i was not left behind
we are in touch
with nothing but hope
but feeling
no one's bleeding
and no one's to blame

and i fed my tears to the lions in my head
never neglected the thought of your return
arms to wrap, eyes to trap
and i lose my reasons

and when i wake up in the morning
swolen eyes, runny nose
i say to myself
i'm cool
no one's bleeding
no one's to blame
