you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
when i was 18 i took in a runaway
she crawled into my bed on the 7th day
i played her music and i cooked her food
i did everything i thought i should
i let her sleep late and i paid her way
then her dad showed up one day
well she had grown…
amused, desire to feel inside and will i mean it
confused, and scared of what I'll find, and will I believe it
it's just a scratch but infection has already set it
we go on like the world will never end
no fear of tomorrow, no fear of today…
it's like, falling, without a sense of down
it's like feeling, without a hint of doubt
it's like melting without a pot to hold your soul
it's like failing but without ever being told
I'm fading, away
their story could be our story

shame I make the same mistakes each time
adding up, piling on this list of my crimes
the biggest to the smallest weigh the same to me
buried beneath of mountain with no hope of getting free
holding on to my broken dreams
shame I have no…
little light, won't you rise
little light, open your eyes
can't you chase away the gray
can't you chase the indigo away
chase the indigo away
little light, don't you cry
little light, time to fly
can't you chase the trouble away
can't…

Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2

Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
Tell me can you teach me bout your finely written poetry
Dont care about the content I just want to make em notice me
Such a fine hand they'd say wooo, study it closely
Been practicing all day I think I'm ready least I aughta be.
Caligraphy…
I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…
2009 Record Production Month Challenge offering. Very pleased with the collective results. The title came from my friend Zane. His iced tea was in a damaged cup. Thus the title. There are various quotes in the song including some from Mishima…

The blues lilt in your voice and tapping the strings is something new.
