wake now and grasp the thread of red devotion
oh, where were you when I fell in love with such a dead emotion?
but much to my surprise
all the things you'd said to me were little white lies
so if nothing comes to pass, don't choke on the glass
all your friends are out there painting landscapes in amaranthine shades
but every single noise you paint comes out a dull and lifeless gray
and much to my surprise
all the things I'd told myself were little white lies
so if nothing comes to pass, don't choke on the glass
to shamelessly forget the past
and you just can't help but sit there with your stomach sinking
when your fingers won't keep up with what your brain is thinking
so if something comes to pass
and if anything comes to pass
then when nothing comes to pass, don't choke on the glass
Honestly, I don't know if I'd even be making music today had I never found the J. Arthur Keenes Band. This LP from the project is easily among my all-time favorite pop albums. Bluelily
