I find it hard to write lyrics like I used to. This is not because people know so much about me, but because of what they think they know.
So I find myself trying to guess what they think they know and then trying to steer clear of it and find another way to explain myself.
The whole thing gets very tiresome and has led me to say “fu** it” and write exactly like I used to.

Can't listen now - got to get some new batteries for the external speakers - but I'll have a listen in the morning.

Paul, nice little twist at the end there For me, that's really the tricky part of writing this kind of song -to keep the song interesting until the payoff at the end....Thanks for the clarification on LASIK :wink:

Jay, Hahaha! Fantastic end Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't planning this way, but both of the "spiritual" focused songs used the physical aspects as the themes of the songs. a twist within a twist, works for me Very twisted indeed :lol:

Thanks guys for the listens/reads and posts.

BTW LASIK is laser surgery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LASIK

"She says it's
Too good, too good to be true
A stroke of luck from out of the blue
Too good to be true"

Really like that chorus

Excuse the ignorance, what's a LASIK?
