Songs: At Dusk (2003)

I wrote this song the day I found out I had 3 months of house arrest for my 2nd DUI, where I totalled my car and damaged 3 others. Twas a bad day, but good material for writing a song. During the period I wrote this song I played out usually 2-3 times a week throughout Riverwest with Peter. Very melodic and moody.




3 days left of this
Perfect wedded bliss
And I'm scared
Cause the judge saw through my shit
And now I have to sit
In my room
But I want something! I want something! I want something else to do
With my time
A perfect reason
Change of season
God I'm leaving! God I'm leaving! God I'm leaving here today
Soon as I take care
Of number 1

It's not like it's the end
It's more like giving in
The things you want to hide
My perfect zitty bride

A change of heart could do you good
They always knew the things I should have done
I aim to please cause that's my way
Just never seems to be my day boo-hoo
Get a grip

Soul check's at the door
I've left it there before
cause it's safe
Every mortal man
Has to have a plan
cause it's smart
But I've been trying
To keep from dying
Now I'm crying! Now I'm crying ! Now I'm crying in your arms,
Cause you're here
But last week you and I were laughing
Dreaming long and time was passing out a note
That read, thank you

It's not like it's the end
It's more like giving in
The things you want to hide
My perfect zitty bride

I'm going to take a train out West
Seattle Portland all the rest are mine
Before I go I have to say
I love this town in every way but I...
Sprouted wings
