about

wrote this one in my head while walking outside a Trek Convention in Milwaukee...I was weaving through Spocks and Kirks as the words somehow managed to find their way to my mind

lyrics

I'm losing you in pieces
kinda like the way the western beaches
pull parts of my sand castles away
all i can do is look at you
watch your frame fade out of view
left holding your old shadows to my face
like red birthday balloons
that slowly float up to the moon just when
you reached out for a Monarch Butterfly
sometimes I wish you'd hopped the noon bus line
left all at once one single time
instead each day my eye releases
a brand new tear from losing you in pieces
I'm losing you like gamblers lose
their bank accounts to betting booths
still all the while with smiles across the face
all i can see are memories
that follow me like autumn bees
stinging leaving rashes in their wake
like new years resolutions
that soon turn into excuses
cuz you knew you wouldn't do it anyway
sometimes I wish you'd hopped the noon bus line
left all at once one single time
instead each day my eye releases
a brand new tear from losing you in pieces
