Well, this is going to take awhile to get out the details—at least the salient ones that won't embarrass the innocent and slighty-guilty. This is not a tell-all, so don't ask me to name . . .

Before I share these lyrics, I have to confess that I was inspired to write these after watching Kris Kristofferson on the Sundance Channel show, Spectacle with Elvis Costello . He sang one of . . .

why did I tear you down
why did I make you cry
I took off your crown
and left you out to dry
my jealousy poisoned
the care I felt for you
and now you're imprisoned
in some abandoned . . .

I'm so tired of vain hoping
for a word that never comes
I feel miserable from moping
while you sit upon your thumbs
if you want me now then say so
and don't wait another . . .

my heart is unwound over you
like the watch your father wore
when he stopped remembering to wind it up
and left it to dust and entropy
its gears unmoved

your heart seems impervious
at least from where I stand
I try hard not to obsess
but I'm still at your command
I want to give you space
just as you give me mine
I'm the one who's . . .

why do I feel so shut out of your mind
as if I were some kind of cruel distraction
I never wanted to be so unkind
not even for a portion of a fraction
but all I get are fantasies and silence

I got nothing
I wish you had nothing too
cause with nothing
there’s nothing we can’t do
I got nothing
nothing that rings true
without you nothing

when I told you I needed your permission
before I could reach out to you again
it was less an ultimatum than confession
cause this hurting has been driving me insane
as far as I can tell . . .

I don't have the guts to do myself in
so let the whole world end in flames
why did I even listen to my sin
when my heart whispered your name
you never wanted me from the start
but that was . . .

If I could take back my words
which ones would I remove from your memory?
Living in a vacuum where words never matter
until they are spoken pure and true
is difficult when I don't know your . . .

if you ever want me just tell me the truth
I can't bear the silence anymore
I'm tired of playing this game of sleuth
I keep falling into this trap door
there's no light, no heat, no energy . . .

my heart feels rather strained
because its strings are out of tune
my expression's much to pained
I'm conditioned by the moon
it causes hope to sink on key
something you won't discuss with me . . .

not from anger but self-preservation

I'm closing my heart off to you
it's the honorable thing to do
after all you never asked for
me to love you and adore
but you weren't even my friend
so my sweet insanity must end
