about

Some songs come with no explanation, no reason, no connection to reality. Some songs are made up stories, others are a journal of life's experiences. And still the mean of others are not known until they are what they claim to be. If I could go back 3 years and un-write this song I would. Though I don't think it's existence has anything to do with the present. But it certainly contains an unfortunate truth.

lyrics

It's been two years and I don't hear you
Pounding at my door
Kisses have gone cold and they don't come around no more
How long will this candle burn now
Now that the wax has run
You and I have see the lie
and we've put it into song

It's been too long now and I can't hear your voice amongst the crowd
But I have found peace in my current state of being
How long will this story drag on?
I was bored before it began
I am sick of hearing my own voice
Illustrating a narrative of how I became a man

Notice me, I am empty
Notice me, I'm full again

I made a move a few years back
The choice which lead me to where I am today
But "life is a journey, not a destination"
Emerson, I forget to listen to what you say
How long will my room stay empty
But my mind stay full
Sometimes I forget to party but stay at home,
Stay alone and blame it on the cold

One full lap around me and you will see me in 3D
Passers by, well, they will perceive me as angry
Stop now, hold all these rambles
Can you feel your heart beat?
If the answers yes then you are still living
Simplify, realign, and stick to what you seek.
