Let Someone In

I tried to play a scissor
You came up with a rock
Whatever I display it’s not enough
You always have a weapon
Well-suited for the task
An answer that just shows
I should not ask
You keep guard
When all I really want
All I really need
Is some peace
And some truth
Something real
The walls you build around you
Seem thicker every day
I’m trying hard to break through
There’s nothing I can say
With no crack in your facade
I just can’t find my way
I’m through with playing games
And I don’t want to contend
With you ´cause I’ve run out of arguments
I’ve heard what you can offer
And I’ve seen the moves you make
It’s like you’re waiting for my next mistake
You keep guard
When all I really want
All I really need
Is a word
That’s sincere
And feels real
The walls you build around you
Seem thicker every day
I’m trying hard to break through
There’s nothing I can say
With no crack in your facade
I just can’t find my way
Open a door for me
And realize just how good it can feel
To be willing and to be free
Decide to finally let someone in

Remember that day
I fell on the ice
Was spinning around
It caught me by surprise
I showed you my tears
You said they were fake
And that was one
Of your very few mistakes
Life takes unexpected turns sometimes
Your path was not laid out for a bumpy ride
There was never a sign
I wish I could find
A brilliant fix
Develop some tools
To give you the right kick
But all that I have
All I can serve
Is a cheap
But sympathetic word
I’d share the burden with you, if I only could
Cut what’s bad in two, I swear I would
You seem to handle everything so well
You’ve met greater obstacles than most can tell
I know you’ve been through hell
Life takes unexpected turns sometimes
Your path was not laid out for a bumpy ride
I’d share the burden with you, if I just could
Palliate your pain, do something good
Do whatever I could
In a wooden crate
I found those soundless Super 8s
We watched on Saturdays
Just sat on the floor and it was great
You and the neighbor girl
With make up on, dressed up in furs
And then some footage of me
That younger brother I’ll always be

To Change Your Heart
02:59

I’ve reached out a hand
And I’ve turned the other cheek
But you mumble your hi’s
And look down each time we meet
So what can I do
What can I do
To change your heart
Forgiveness can be
A work of art
I don’t hurt with intent
Still my reasoning has flaws
And words could be meant
Not so harsh as they may fall
So where do I go
Where do I go
For a change of heart
Forgiveness can be
A work of art
I am willing to accept the fault is as much mine as it is yours
No matter how I twist and bend on what happened and the cause
I only want things to be like before
I could stand behind my point
I have long since realized you won’t
Try to see it from my point of view
In your eyes I’m just a hopeless fool
So what can I do
What can I do
I’ve done my part
Forgiveness can be
So very hard

A Sound Rings True

As the weekend slowly turns
Into something that could be long term
All I need is an inspiring word
Blow the dust off from a book
I only bought because of how it looked
And some reviews that made me feel I should
I put a record on, a forgotten song
I used to listen to when I was young
And then a sound rings true
And all that I want to do
Is pick up the phone
and tell you how much it could mean to you
If only you heard it too
If I could play it just for you
You’d feel that groove
hear that voice
see that view
As the winter seems to end
before it started, (I can make no sense
of how the seasons change)
I put my running shoes back on
The Hokas that I haven’t worn
Since I bought them online last fall
I take my headphones on and choose a song
That tells me youth is not just for the young
And then a sound rings true
And all that I want to do
Is pick up the phone
and tell you how much it could mean to you
If only you heard it too
If I could play it just for you
You’d feel that groove
hear that voice
see that view
(I want)
No frills and no hidden meanings
Just lines where honesty shines
Write me something that can make me blush
I want something to relate to
But still I need/want to escape
A punch followed by a warm embrace
A feeling that will stay
When soft winds blow my way
Something to bear the weight
Of what I’m struggling to say
A sentiment that’s worth
To echo out the hurt
A joy that’s best described
In literary rhymes

Bloom Off The Rose

Majestic, romantic, timeless pop music punching way, way above its weight class. Belongs up on the top shelf with their finest predecessors like Prefab Sprout and China Crisis. I do not make this claim lightly.
