Ok, so new stuff is coming soon for all those fans that missed the writings. Been busy, but people keep asking so I can't just let this thing die like I had hoped to. Expect four new songs by the end of the weeks, a preliminary chapter from "Standing On the Shoulders of Giants", and anything else I decide to put in here. Anyway, here's something to occupy your time. Everytime I play this song it makes me cry and there's no reason for it. It's not special or beautiful. Oh well.

He likes to pretend that he's all grown up,
He wanted to grow up to be,
An actor,
But he never told anybody.
He likes to spill all of his guts
On the top of a well stocked bar,
The swallow them bit by bit,
Remebering every scar.
It's a valid reason,
For every drink,
And a new tattoo is a new reason to think.
He likes to pretend that he's all sewn up,
It makes for a much stronger case,
But there's still blood under that skin,
That scar's not so easy to erase.
He walks with a glass cane now,
He's careful,
When holding his body up straight,
Can't go outside anymore when it's raining,
Can't smash up that beautiful face.
Another innocent girl,
Just made his list,
That self-pity shit is just to hard to resist.
Yeah when we get home you'll say,
That this part of him is now part of me.

Remebering every scar.

For stronger drinks,
And a new tattoo is a new reason to think.
Yeah when we get home you'll say,
That this part of him is now part of me.
Yeah when we get home you'll say,
That this part of him is controlling me.
Yeah it's way to easy to fake this smile,
Is it wrong?
Maybe I'm wrong,
Everyone get's bored once in awhile.
