about

I wrote and recorded a demo of this in March 2011. I mixed the vocals really high and for some reason that made me not want to work on it ever again. Good job dude.

lyrics

I have only met briefly
The woman that is chiefly
In charge of images in my mind’s eye
In charge of images in my mind’s eye

Though I barely know her
I can only write for her
Melodies appear unsolicited
Melodies appear unsolicited

Words could never do her
The justice that she deserves
I could never define her
Words have left me at a loss
When I speak it's through camouflage
Hits my wits like a sabotage

If I ever approached her
I would surely feel sulfur
Slip from my lips in lieu of a line
Slip from my lips in lieu of a line

So I’ll keep her at pen’s length
Scribbling sonnets and refrains
Irresistible incidents unrealized
Irresistible incidents unrealized

Words could never do her
The justice that she deserves
I could never define her
Words have left me at a loss
When I speak it's through camouflage
Hits my wits like a sabotage
