In the Blink of an Eye

in the blink of an eye
all the other brokedown spirits fade away
you've been amplified
focused in on the echoed sounds of yesterday
and you wonder why
when the high-pitched hum begins to captivate
will it pass you by
or will you turn to watch the day evaporate?
let it flow.

Hotwire Joyride

put the pieces together then take them apart
pull the clutch and try to get a rolling start
hit the open road at a hundred and ten
crash the car, find another one, do it again
hotwire joyride, hotwire joyride
this hotwire joyride must go on
leaning out the window in the back of a Benz
and she told me she would really like to see me again
made my way to the rockies one summer night
made it home again just before the morning light
hotwire joyride, hotwire joyride
this hotwire joyride must go on
don't you remember when you got to my head?
don't you remember when you left me for dead?
behind the wheel I feel so alive
out of my way now, I just want to drive
hotwire joyride, hotwire joyride
hotwire joyride, hotwire joyride

I remember still that autumn day
I saw you under the mirrored lights
I was afraid my friends had led me astray
until I realized it was love at second sight
how I adore you,
but how I hate the way you make me feel
in the morning when you've gone away
when I wake up and I find you by my side
I know that it's gonna be okay.
autumn paved the way to winter nights
something told me things had changed
suddenly I wasn't everything you need
I turned around to see my life was rearranged
I know that I bore you,
I know that you only keep me high on the shelf
just to please yourself on the lonely days
but when I come back home to find you by my side
I know that it's gonna be okay.
but at the moment that you least expect it
redirected notions and emotions bubble through
though the memories of yesterday will fade away
I will not forget to say that
I still love you
(choruses repeat)

Filter

there's a filter in my head
a seven-second delay
and this filter in my head
has a say in everything I say
and this filter
keeps my mind at bay
keeps me waiting 'til tomorrow
for what I wanted just to do today
I wish that I could simply
fill the blanks and cross the void but
my filter's simply in the way.
if you ask me how I'm doing
and it takes me some time to respond to your question
I'm sorry, I can't help it
my inadequate brain keeps my mouth from the game
I feel foolish, cold, and static
for the comfort I gain from this stupid delay isn't worth it
I'm afraid
then again, who isn't these days?
I'm alone, far away
even followed here by my cursèd delay
turn to stone, fade to gray
I'm still petrified by the things left to say
I wish that I could simply
fill the blanks and cross the void but
my filter's simply in the way
if my mouth were a pen I'd sing it again and
write it line by line
but for now, I'll just blow it
every time,
every time,
every time,
every time.

The Bookseller's House
by Rogue Valley
In 2010-11, in the space of 12 months, Rogue Valley put out four great folk-rocky albums. This one, the second one, is my favorite, and it's always an inspiration to write when I give it a spin.
