A song from “Duped” that stands out from what we usually do.
You told most everybody
Your truth didn’t let me be
I slipped into a darkness
that longed to hold on me
It came in by the hour
it wouldn’t leave for weeks
You spoke of groves and gardens
you wouldn’t share with me
Thought I died in the center of you
I flew by and nobody could see me
I lost what I thought was true
Denied anybody would leave me
And I said where you going?
Is it what it seems?
I died in the center of you
I’m tired of running backwards
in lines that we complete
I’m starved for good intentions
that make it back to me
The past presents the future
that time will never tell
I arrived at the moment
a penny short at a wishing well
Thought I died in the center of you
I flew by and nobody could see me
I lost what I thought was true
Denied anybody would leave me
And I said where you going?
Is it what it seems?
I died in the center of you
You came in by the hour
you wouldn’t leave for weeks
you spoke of groves and gardens
you wouldn’t share with me
I’m tired of running backwards
in lines that we complete
I’m starved for good intentions
that make it back to me
The past presents the future
that time will never tell
I arrived at the moment
a penny short at a wishing well
Thought I died in the center of you
I flew by and nobody could see me
I lost what I thought was true
Denied anybody would leave me
I said where you going?
Is it what it seems?
I died in the center of you
