lyrics

No lights – I beg – my darling (my darling) – I don’t want you
To see me – this way
Sit up – with me -til morning (til morning comes)
Then let’s sleep – the day – away

If I could take it all back I would – replace the bad with good
Relive every moment, make things right
It’s going to be a long night

But alas – my love – betrayed me (you betrayed me)– left me hanging
Swinging – in – the wind – and now you’re getting sick
Of smiling – and pretending – so sick of these games
The time we waste – saying nothing – til we got nothing left but to

Get it all said out loud – why did you make me have to shout
Why does everything I say go in one ear and come out the other end
You could have been a better friend

But for you – the things I’d do
For your sake I put so much at stake
Tried to have a little compassion - can’t you? - open your heart and leave the past in the past
Which I can’t get past – why can’t I open my eyes and realize this would never last!
And let it go.

I finally washed my hands of this
I finally washed my hands of this
I finally washed my hands of this
I finally washed my hands of this
Won’t wipe the tears from my face
‘til they wash away the stain of your last kiss
I finally washed my hands of this

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
