I'm wasted on Ninth Street
I'm dodging these parked cars
I'm feeling like a dog in the rain.
I threw us a funeral and you hardly noticed
Some things they never change
They just get real strange
Like you barely see me.

Halfway down your block
I'm stabbed by a memory
Of a promise
That I'd never leave
I thought I could shock you
I prayed I could change you
Turn you by the smallest degrees
Even down on my knees
But you barely see me

I gave up on your church
Temporary redemption
The latch and the key were too high
I screamed in your face
But you did not seem phased
And you just let me slip by
Oh slip by

I'm screaming at shadows
I'm swinging at echoes
I fumble the change in my hand
And you barely see me x

Seeing is not believing...hearing is

Touchstones
a movin' chronicle, many vivid details, with a kickin' sax solo, and a rockin' bridge...
