In Love with The Dead
01:41
|
|||
|
They don't know why I love you
They say my love is a mystery
Why love someone who's not around?
And dare to live in such misery?
This love's not quite unrequited
But you're never quite safe in my bed
It's kind of like being a widow
Being in love with the dead
I chide myself for your absence
I die in hell 'cause I'm lonely
If I could just move on down the road
and stop thinking you were my only
Instead of tearing my walls down
I'm tearing myself into shreds
It's a cruel and unusual pastime
This being in love with the dead

Pleasure of Pain
02:22

Once in awhile
Something beguiles
A strange obsession
An infant regression
*It’s hard to explain...
The pleasure of pain
My stake in my heartbreak
Drown in lakes that my tears make
A sickness enjoyed
A train wreck deployed
*An injury sustained in...
The pleasure of pain
“You know that it’s real”
My conscience decrees
“If you’re going to feel it,
Then fall to your knees”
“You honor the feeling
If it sends you reeling”
*Engulfed in the rain of...
The pleasure of pain

Prisoner of my Heart
03:01
|
|||
|
Few times have I loved
I can count them on my fingers
And no one knows why
Or knows why they linger
It’s like my only love
Becomes a standard... a refrain
*I’m the prisoner of my heart
I’m not free to start
To love again
It’s like I’m in a jail
Made by my emotions
I’m locked inside a feeling
And all it’s emanations
Why I’m never free
To love another man... another name*
Why love the same? They ask,
And I don’t have an answer
It’s the beauty of a man I’m caught up in
It’s not a game...
It’s an unnatural disaster
It’s a love that I just can’t rescind*

What Could I Have Done?

MUSIC By Kyle Miska
Time doesn’t fix everything
It doesn’t work that way
And love that can fix everything
Can’t fix itself today
There are some things I know, at least
That the love I feel is true...
Or the fact that I’ve (and now I’m) lost
That “us” is now “me” and “you”
*Some days I really
Wish for a different version
...And some days I really
Wish I didn’t see the sun
For I’m left with the question,
Perhaps until I’m gone...
What could I
Have done?
Though it’s been years,
I think of you somehow
And the tears don’t fall softly
Like you think they would by now
I married you then,
Though I don’t wear a ring
I gave you my heart
As if it were a thing…*
Take back words in haste, or
Give up those unsaid...?
What could I have done?
How can I forget?*

Certain
02:26
|
|||
|
I doubt I’ll ever meet someone
Memory be diffused
Doubt I’ll be as happy
Or that it will be as true
*But I’m certain you’ll be loved
Perhaps not the way I do
Because I’m certain... oh so certain
I’m so certain about you
I doubt they’ll feel your smile
Doubt it’s something that they knew
I doubt it’s in their center
Or that it appears on cue*
i’m so certain of your face, your flaws,
Your mysteries, your clues
I embrace all of that which you are
Though it may color me so blue
I doubt I will forget your eyes
I doubt I will pursue
Doubt there’s anyone I’ll truly love
As much as I love you
*Though I’m certain I’ll be loved one day
It won’t be quite like you
I won’t be certain... oh so certain
I’m so certain about you

Marisa Gasper Los Angeles, California
www.DelusionalAsUsual.Bandcamp.com. Marisa Gasper doesn't know the word fear, because she pursues her creative visions wherever they take her. Her works explore life, often through sound, and transcend traditional dichotomies in service to healing expansively the rifts between heart and mind, sacred and profane, G*d and philosophy... ~ bio by Betsy Kenoff-Boyd ~Thank You! ... more
