8-22-04 Hello...anyone remember me? I posted some of my work here last spring...Anyway, I said I was moving on to other things and I ceased posting for the past 3-4 months. The project I had moved on to was forming a band with some local people my age...this was an extrodinary experience that has resparked my creativity...however, after only two months, our band broke apart unexpectedly and we're going our separate creative ways...so anyway, I figured that I would share some of my lyrics on this site...thank you to anyone who read this entire explanation...it's nice to be back..... This piece is a song about finding that someone hasn't been faithful to you in your relationship: Don't Touch Your Eyes Girl, you told me to trust you And you've denied it before But my fears were confirmed As I walked through your door 'Cause when you turned around With a smile on your face There was someone beside you That had taken my place Well, your smile soon faded With a sudden look of pain As you search for the words That would help you explain But your silence continued As I stared onto the bed... And screamed "I don't need your excuses Darling, I'll just talk instead... "Baby, don't touch your eyes 'Cause I don't know where they've been Are your tears a disguise? Are they scars from your sin?" "Girl, you said it wasn't true And yet you're covered in lies so this 'goodbye's' overdue But, Baby, don't touch your eyes... "Baby, don't touch your eyes" Well as I turned around to leave You begged me, Girl, to stay But nothing could have kept me There was nothing left to say But still you ran and grabbed my arm And fell down on your knees Offering your deep regret And fake apologies But I just looked into your eyes And you looked back at me Feeling rage that chased out thoughts Of what we used to be Then I said, "Darling, I just told you But you still don't get it yet... So I'm telling you this one last time And this time don't forget:" "Baby don't touch your eyes 'Cause I don't know where they've been Are your tears a disguise? Are they scars from your sin?" "Girl you said it wasn't true And yet you're covered in lies So this 'goodbye's' overdue But, Baby, don't touch your eyes... "Baby, don't touch your eyes" "Baby don't touch...Baby, don't touch... No, Baby, don't touch your eyes" [This message has been edited by Darker Season (08-23-2004 01:46 PM).] |

I'd love to hear the music to this one. Hits home with a dark empty thud...and leaves me quivering.. I love this... All of my impurities are right here on my sleeve. This is Me"---Faith Hill |

Hey Andrew... Thanks for the email. I did what you said and checked out this song, and I truly love it. This is bittersweet, to say the least. You are a great friend and also a great writer. Keep up the good work |

What a sad scene. Yep, best to leave those eyes-of-lies alone. |
