about

Written entirely on 6/21/2000 at my sister's apartment in Florida. It was the first song I recorded for this CD. I didn't know how to use the metronome in cakewalk yet, or how the recording would come out. recorded first in 9/2000, then I redid the vocals 4/2001 with better harmonies.

lyrics

Did you listen when I tried to explain?
Did you hear what you wanted to hear?
Then you try your voice
whisper, slowly sigh
Then you roll your eyes
shut down your mind
Hand me over the wheel
it’s no dream, this is real
You’re alive, enjoy the ride
My dreamscape explodes
live your life à la mode
It’s alright…
’til you come back down, crash into the ground
Not a sound as you fall from my sky
Tearing off your skin
that’s where I come in
We’ll begin with a song
You’ll sing along
The words don’t mean much
when I long for your touch
It’s my turn to crash and burn
Extinguish your flame on my face
put me into my place
then I’ll learn…
Shut down my mind
So numb, I can feel
if there’s pain, then it’s real
I’m alive, enjoyed your ride
My dreamscape implodes
as you walk out the door of my life.
