Written June 2013

lyrics

Your memory
was dragging me
into the undertow
but i'm ready now
to write you one last song
and let you go

You believed in magic
and I found it in your heart
then your wizardry turned tragic
and you wanted a new start

So while our history is filling me
this mystery is killing me
and I don't want to find you when your soul is torn apart

There will always be words left unsaid
But words won't do my any good if you're already dead
so there you go, enjoy your blow
Dive into the undertow
I hope that you enjoy the world of hungry ghosts below

This two headed boy business
I'm beginning to see
Is a metaphor for the way you feel
when you're trying not to be

Standard, plain, creatively drained,
Sad insane and scatter brained
But you didn't think about what your metaphors were doing to me

There will always be words left unsaid
But words won't do my any good if you're already dead
so there you go, enjoy your blow
Dive into the undertow
I hope that you enjoy the world of hungry ghosts below

You said meet me by the tracks
and we could sail the sky
but traintracks has a different meaning to you
just a pretty lie

So I'll take the lessons that I know,
to let it shine and let it go
If nothing else my loving you has only helped me grow
If nothing else my loving you has only helped me grow
