melancholy and smokey acoustic and vocals tune

Toshio Mana

My staging ground for ideas I'm working on... Likely to be lots of stuff in various stages of completion. It will run the gamut, too - from experimental/abstract electronica to straight-ahed pop, proggish-rock to spoken word.

Story behind the song

Watching myself endure the pain of a breakup and just sorta writing outside myself - as if I was someone writing to me.

Lyrics

hold on to silence
hold on to pain
'cuz time will change these memories
and blur them into same...

the sound of the memories
that whisper through your mind
they sound like the footsteps
that will haunt you all your life

and I see the anguish
that dances in your eyes
it looks like the distance
that you would run tonight

oh...

the colors of sunlight
that filter through the sky
are lost on a man who
chooses to be blind

if I sold the answers
that you would stop to buy
would you eat the fruit
that would burn you like a lie?

[CHORUS]
I... see you trapped inside your hell
that I... just can't reach
I... watch you crucify yourself
and I... never play the dogwood tree...

the taste of the silence
that beats your battered heart
it tastes like the truth
that this has gone too far...

if I had a chalice
for every tear you cried
could you bless these memories
and turn your water into wine

[CHORUS]
I... see you trapped inside your hell
that I... just can't reach
I... watch you crucify yourself
and I...

run to his side again
run away from me
time won't stop your bleeding heart
and I can't stop your feet

run to his side again
run to the pain
time brings only misery
for those who only blame...
