It's over baby it's over
It's too late to explain
Before we Blow up again
Oh we thought that We were so much better
than those People with their Problems
why Couldn't they just Solve them
So why Are we the Ones that get those stares…

Don't refrain
Have no regrets
You've made your choice
On how it ends
And this is what you want to say
time to explain away to friends
Our time is up
For what we have
For what we do
It’s blind to blind
We’ll have to bear
Our testimony has to withstand…

each time I’d look at you
I was looking for a breakthrough
some emptied sigh, some reasons why

reckless provisions for some blooming vine
followed me, in the back of my mind
forgive me, mother for the lamb…

Another strictly me-and-an-acoustic track. Mostly about a kind-of-unstable girl I knew way back before I knew better.
Now I know better! Good closer.

Remembering things we did, hell we were just kids
The best was yet to come, thinking back makes me feel numb
Why?
Broken homes made us family, we shared our drink merrily
Dealt with things our own way…

My last rpm song - based on the police log in a local paper. The writer must have been feeling poetic - more than half of these are word for word and the rest were slightly changed to fit the rhyming scheme.

My hands are trembling. It’s about to begin.
Slow and predictable, the waves vibrate the ground. The entry is innocuous enough, like a distant bass rumble of a party 3 blocks away, but it seeps inside. And thus begins the delight.
