Just What IS This?
I started a long winded post on this yesterday. Slept on it and decided to give you less. Because, you know, less is more.Below is draft two of a lyric that came to me spontaneously. That happens sometimes and I have no control over it. Can't stop it. I learned to write these "cerebral hemorrhages" down as fast as they seep into my consciousness. Sometimes they become good lyrics or parts of good lyrics. The music NEVER comes to me that way. Sometimes it does in dreams but I always forget.
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to tell me what you think this lyric means or what it means to you. Forget what it means to me. It's not about me at all, by the way. I'm not in this one. Sure would appreciate your feedback. It'll let me know if I should continue to refine it, put music to it or just move on to something else. Like I really have time. But that's another story. Thanking you in advance for your indulgence.
Denial
Work in progress by Bud Buckley 2005
I loved how you lied to me. You do push the buttons.
You sure know how to push mine
That trick you do, all eyes, sexy struttin'
Damn near worked every time
Now I see fear in your smile,
I need a heavy dose of denial
I bought it all so I'm desperate to believe you
Nobody else does and we're sinking pretty fast
You screwed up so badly there's nothing left to construe
I don't know how long we can last
Now I see fear in your smile,
I need a heavy dose of denial
Bridge:
Give me something to hang my denial on
I bet it all on you and wore it on my sleeve
Give me something to hang my denial on
Give me any excuse to believe
You're copping to ignorance but never deception
Figured nobody thought you were smart anyway
You're pleading to sell one last misconception
Your story holds up like a penny toupee
Now I see fear in your smile,
I need a heavy dose of denial
