lyrics

I’ll think of a better way – do try to have patience with me
I’ll come up with a good excuse, then you can believe whatever you choose
I’ll pick a number between one and ten and, odds are you’ll guess it again
No over/under – you’ve got my number – baby

I ain’t no gamblin’ man, but I’ll take your action whenever I can
And I’m willing to wager, that if looks could kill, I’d be dead where I stand
Oh no, you don’t complete me, cause I’m not half a man
And though I can’t say I love you yet, I can’t say I don’t love holding your hand

Or running my fingers through your hair, getting hard under the charm of your Medusa stare
I won’t lie and say I love you, can’t lie and say I don’t care
You can believe whatever you choose – throw up your hands and ask what’s the use
Girl - you can leave with whoever you want, but I can’t be happy with that which I don’t got
So, smile and nod but come for this ride, we can talk in the car til the first morning light
I’m here if you want that – my car’s parked out back

For The Time Being
by Unharrowed

This short but sweet instrumetal EP by my fellow solo traveler is full of classic metallic riffing and colorful harmonies, reminding me of rad bands like Capricorns and Hammers of Misfortune. illuminihilation
