The Idea of Love

Posted on 09.29.21 under Uncategorized

She stole the memory of an ancient wound
She claimed as her own
Picture the damage of a raging typhoon
Leaving me standing all alone

She loves
The idea of love
She loves
The idea of love

While he was gone I played his guitar
Stole his wife and drove his car
Karma’s costs of just stolen one night
Blew up our lives, like dynamite

She loves
The idea of love
She loves
The idea of love

If pleasure is the ultimate prize
Drown the pain you hide inside
Some will laugh but most will cry
As the torture intensifies

She loves
The idea of love
She loves
The idea of love

When Emerald City beckons,

from the interior of your mind,
take a deeper dive into “Isolation”

down the

Once in a while
Life takes your smile
Wiping it off your face
Without leaving a trace

Standing alone
Holding your phone
Can you believe it’s true
That she would leave you, too

Circling the Drain
Feeling no pain
Only the vain
Would ever complain

Daylight’s too real
The night is surreal
Fantasy has its price
Taking a generous slice

Chased a mirage
Love camouflaged
Sentiment left me behind
How can I trust mankind

Circling the Drain
Feeling no pain
Only the vain
Would ever complain

Feeding your pride
Ego your guide
Buying into the hate
Sending you to your fate

Feeling no pain
Circling the drain
Helpless with no free will
Rolling so fast downhill

Circling the Drain
Feeling no pain
Only the vain
Would ever complain
