lyrics

Everybody says I'm a lucky man
Just because I come across so well
Except for you I seemed to break you down
It took me way to long to understand
Just why you started treating me like hell
I've lost again now what I thought I'd found
That day I swore was gonna be the day
I'd take a deep breath and let go
And I'd admit what you'd already know
That you always make me lonesome when you go

But I know your love deserves a better fitting
No ragged vagabonds or thieves
And not some boy as immature as me
You took the bait when I was kidding
Next thing you're asking me to leave
So who was wrong? I think we'd disagree
Right now I'll tell you what you're thinking
And lay the truth right on the line

We were never meant to be so intertwined
Now you got no petty reason to be unkind
Since I last saw you days go by
Like picket fence posts on the highway
I used to count, now I don't even try
Some truth's are too hard to deny
Once you cross that certain state
Our fate was sealed before we said goodbye
So don't you worry about me calling
I get your message loud and clear
But I think that given time you'll want me near
In the meantime you can find me over here

about

Marq DeSouza Vancouver, British Columbia

-A very personal rock album. He also writes from a very moral perspective, which gives his record a strong POV. These songs are not filled with empty thoughts but actually try to say something. (Vancouver Province)

-Inspiration drips from every distorted and bent guitar note, down-but-not-out vocal phrasing, and sneered lyric. (Georgia Straight) ... more
