Your purity moves me...

Shaman Jones

well, for starters...music is my life. I started playing the clarinet at age 10 and still play it and love it. I started playing piano when i was 14 and am a self taught pianist and singer since age 15. Was a rapper from age 12- 14 but it wasn't me...i began writing full songs when i was 15 or 16, and continue writing because i have to. hope u like!

Lyrics

I have never seen a thing so fair
As When I woke up, rolled over, and you just laying there
Fast asleep
Looking like the epitome of serene
So sincerely that I had to wonder if there was even anything in your dreams

Then I looked up at the ceiling, and I looked down at my hands
In such a trance
That an omniscient onlooker would've thought that it was I who was dreaming
and in a way I guess I could've been
since where I was residing would eventually turn out to be an illusion
after withdrawals would shake me to the egde of that precipice of acceptance
But, enough with the present, lets go back to the past

Alas, you awake
Even if its only half
I stroke your face
And mutter the obvious words that have become a plague
To my continual existence in the realm of my good taste

As the ocean dwarfs a lake in size
take that amount and square it seven billion times
and you still won't be able to quantify
the factor by which my love towers in comparison to his
See, the gift you give
It causes me to forget my loneliness by simulating an average night in paradise

But I can no longer ignore the fact that
Your Purity Moves Me

I can no longer ignore the facts:
That despite your act...
That to your intoxicating scent I am allergic
That to your heart-melting eyes I am now impervious
That only in your oh-so-serene dreams are you ever perfect
That only of things and dreams that you have worked for are you naturally worthy

Can't you see?
We will never have these years back
In which you were unwilling
Yes unrelenting
To form those three one-syllable words into a single three-syllable sentence
Yet thought it so much that like a plasma screen it made its way into your mind
And burned a picture that made you blind
With rage
Until you could no longer deny

So what happened?
Did you drink an elixir that transported you forward in time?
My darling, If only things could be so simple
Because the truth is so f*** ing heartbreaking
The truth that you used me as a crutch that you outgrew as you outgrew
your ailment
Snatched me out of my element and into yours

I was not naive, not by far
but rather, hopeful 
as I got out of the car
then you showed me your ring
And driving away alone, my eyes were glued to the passenger's seat
And I smiled slightly, so that you could just see my teeth
You see, I always had a passion for irony
