I didn't think it appropriate to comment on other peoples work until you have seen mine. I think of myself as a writer/poet first then as a musician. It makes it easier for me to compartmentalize what I do. (A quirk diquised as a work ethic... ) You can hear the music for this song on my website-music page. Oct13 2004

More Than This

I saw you like liquid in the sunlight dancing
A dancer from a world where answers come before the asking
I’m asking to hold you not like a bitter pill
Swallowed with a lithe hand promised of a sweeter - sweeter night

Lies like poetry moved and held me bound
Your body held me till my breath was still
Hey baby I need more than this

Your friends are shadows just marionettes and empty talking
They are an empty well you drink from that shines on you
Your beauty is empty and the time keeps stealing
Without worry the choir and the cadence rolls on and on

Lies like poetry moved and held me bound
Your body held me till my breath was still
Hey baby I need more than this
But baby I need more than this

I have to have you but I don’t want you
But needing you is what I do

So …curtains fall lights gone on my sanity
Walking talking as my will drains away
Your eyes and lips have stole me away
Now an empty shadow I’ve nothing left to say

Lies like poetry moved and held me bound
Your body held me till my breath was still
Hey baby I need more than this
Hey baby I need more than this
Please baby I need more than this

My friends are the only ones there for me
In my darkest hour when i need them most
I dont know what they see in me
They help me more than god, everytime im lost...

I just had to say this, i hate it when people bash peoples friens in songs.
Avil lavinge's line goes something like

"you have your stupid friends
I hear what they say about me
They say I'm difficult
But so are they"

This is a decent line, but to me it seems weird. My friends never act bad or tell me about the person next to me.
My friends are the only ones i can count on..


you should bash peoples friends in songs.(specially in general, then your bashing the entire world)

Hi Pen, not bad. A bit more work and this will be a gem.
All in all, it's cool.

It's all good ...Mouse.

If they suck you could fucking kill them in a song. Anger and other negative feelings are best expressed in a song if you ask me.

I know this girl who broke up with her boyfriend because he didn't liked her friends. So sad because in my opinion her friends are all stupid losers.
I hate it when you can't get along with a friend's friends or when they control your friend. Just like in your verse... very well written

Thanks for your comments. All great. I agree that friends and family are our greatest treasures. This song was meant to explore a relationship with a very powerful and brilliant woman I knew. She only kept people around that agreed with her. I became trapped by her. It is niave to believe every one who calls you friend works in your best interest. I write what comes to me in my expierience. Some of my songs celebrate my friends - some morn the heart breaking betrayals. I am a song writer so...I want to explore my life and emotions as full as my courage will allow me. 'Sometimes life sucks sometimes it don't.' profound words from a good friend of mine (30 years now)

Mystery>>Yeah sure, but not all people are good people so I don't see any reason for why you shouldn't bash peoples friends in a song!!! It depends on what the author feels and hopefully he/she got it right.

Penny>> Didn't quite catch your meaning before then, but I certainly do now. And sorry for my bad language It just went down!!!

To all,
One sign of friendship is honest and open discourse. Thanks
