Wasn't That Supposed To Be Me?

from Electric Judas! by Jeffrey Dallet

/

lyrics

So it says and so it goes, live within swells of the wispy throes
Colliding with ramparts rejecting the beggars dreams,
which must be true for fools like me.

So give me one dance and I’ll set you free,
He’s waiting for you with a box of borrowed dreams,
He knows your lines and your eyes before they see,
Tell me wasn’t that supposed to be me?

Now I know and now I see, sometimes things are exactly as they seem
Trying too hard thus never passing the test,
She will look but I'm always second best.

So give me one dance and I’ll set you free,
He’s got the songs written in your exact key
My fantasy is his reality
Tell me wasn’t that supposed to be me?

Proses and poems for the prowess of pawns march in armies of the unfinished songs that draw the long front lines, that guard the story that hides, in the hearts within the smile in your eyes.

Just like the end and just like the start,
to paint with the dark has become the lost art.
Shooting stars in the shame of the sea
Drowning what is and what can never be.

So give me one dance and I’ll set you free,
The time has come for you and him to leave
Two become one on the throne of Venus' chemistry,
Tell me wasn’t that supposed to be me?
