I see you, wonder quietly about my words, I hear you, sigh silently at my songs. You, who sits and listens, You, who watches as I write. You're the one, who hears all my rough and scratches, before they are presentable. You're the one, who feels the pain of my darkest thoughts, when they penetrate too hard, before you can ready your heart. And still, you wait patiently, And you wait painfully, for the song that is for you, for the moment that the veil moves as the band starts up. But you know I don't write for those tired notions of love, And not for worship of their fiat beauty. My words are for making my world. My songs are how I see, and change, the very substance of all this stuff, that makes up all the Stuff. You don't believe me?.. Write your own song. Watch it happen. A perfectly envisioned world, a precisely predicated premonition, even and especially, a sordidly sought subaudition scored to sound, is unstoppable. And so I sing and I write to rid my world of the rough and scratches, of the torrent I feel as the world whips around me, like a hurricane I can't handle otherwise. I write of yearning, of want, of desire, of pain and misunderstanding, of jealousy and heartbreak, and even the love that you love, when it seems most real. But I do not write for you. Not you, who sits and listens, Not you, who watches as I write. Not you, who bears all the rough and scratches, too hard, too soon, Not you, my perfect and unchanging accomplice. Because I've only swam in such shallow sounds so far. And we are becoming parts of us in a dance to a song I couldn't write til we go under.
