3 On A Yellow
feel the beating in my chest
erratic and frantic, pulsing ...
ignore the streams flowing from my eyes.
you read my mind and senses
knowing what they say
knowing because you are part of me
or were...
were they my delusions
that cast this evil spell on us
over what ...who can tell,
is it truth or is it lies
well, just don't ask me to speak my mind
tables turned, dont look the same.
for in my mind, there's this perception,
what's his today, was once mine.
sure there are the words that say,
"anytime you really want me im all yours"
but my damn eyes see mirages
through the welled up water.
so bartender, pour some drinks
cuz the hurts on me tonight
let's raise our glasses
and share this toast
"three on a yellow
and three on a match,
once I was first
but now, I am last"
my life is too short to hurt like this
and your days number about the same,
we both need to find a way home
to the peaceful waters.
maybe i'll be here tomorrow and gone for now,
today it's your desire to be departed.
so let me ask,
was your hurt as burning.
the pain that was once your's exclusively,
is mine today ..and if this was your cross...
given to you by me, then ....
mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
I can't bear this kind of anguish .
