lyrics

Lighter than a feather, that's the key phrase of the day
You had no reason to trust me, but you did anyway
I've done so wrong to many, lucky I always knew the right thing to say
Now that I'm feeling better, I'm back to claim the prize
An heirloom of a mojo hand, and a pair of serpent eyes
There are no hidden secrets, of which you would be surprised

Lighter than feather, as you kissed me on the cheek
For a guy so ready to rumble, it sure left me weak
I'm a relic from a bygone era, who's surely reached his peak
I can recite sermons on wasted youth
Or stand helpless before you and show you living proof
Some might say it's over kill, but I just call it brutal truth
Lighter than a feather, absolved of any crime
So much to measure up to, such little precious time
Why would you cross this ocean, when I can barely cross your mind?
I've given up the battle, to them I cede control
Take your best shot; go try to find the tyrant in the hole
I'll help to look tomorrow, but today is much too cold

Lighter than a feather, tickling the air
Delivered straight up to heaven on a whispered prayer
I have so much inside I'd like to say to you, but can I bring myself to share

Some things you learn and other things you just feel
Like a drinking man yearns for the cracking of the seal
All your secrets are like covered skin that I want you to reveal

Lighter than a feather, balanced on the steps
Such a shock to the nervous system of one who's plumbed such lonely depths
I've signed all living documents and covered all my debts
Will ahead be stormy weather, forcing us apart
Will the lies from your tongue become truths in my heart?
I took a path to darkness that led straight from the start

Lighter than a feather, in me you can trust
But investigate my priors and frisk me if you must
I'll accept any punishment, any sentence you see just
I've got you in my sights, and your name is in my book
Ever since you shot me that oh so hard to read look
So go ahead take a chance right now, it'll be the best one you ever took
Lighter than a feather, but still a fool no more
I'm been waiting for a howling wind, to come knocking down your door
You said to let you know when, but I kept on wanting more and more and more

Marq DeSouza image

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
