Duane Baron - Space-Dye Vest lyrics

[Verse 1] Falling through pages of Martens on angels Feeling my heart pull west I saw the future dressed as a stranger Love in a space-dye vest Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding A pool in the shape of a heart Beauty projection in the reflection Always the worst way to start [Breakdown 1] [Sample is Julian Sands from the film "A Room With A View."] "But he's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something to look at like a painting or an ivory box. Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real, or to think, or to live. He doesn't love you, but I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms. It's our last chance... It's our last chance..." [Verse 2] Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it Learning to swallow the rage Found a new girl I think we can make it As long as she stays on the page This is not how I want it to end And I'll never be open again [Breakdown 2] [Sample from "The Trouble With Evan," from the Canadian series "The Fifth Estate."] "...I was gonna move out...ummm...get, get a job, get my own place, ummm. But...I go into the mall where I want to work and they tell me, I'm, I was too young..." [Sample is Jim Hill from a news commentary about the OJ Simpson freeway chase.] "Some people gave advice before about facing the facts, about facing reality. And this is, this without a doubt, is his biggest challenge ever. He's going to have to face it. You're going to have to try, he's gonna to have to try and uh, and, and, and get some help here. I mean no one can say they know how he feels." [Sample from the Conan O'Brien show.] "That, so they say that, in ya know like, Houston or something, you'd say it's a hundred and eighty degrees. But it's a dry heat. In Houston they say that? Oh, maybe not. I'm all mixed up. Dry until they hit the swimming pool." [Sample from "The Trouble With Evan", from the Canadian series "The Fifth Estate."] "...I get up with the sun... Listen. You have your own room to sleep in. I don't care what you do. I don't care when. That door gets locked. That door gets locked at night by nine o'clock. If you're not in this house by nine o'clock, then you'd better find some place to sleep. Because you're not going to be a bum in this house. Supper is ready..." [Bridge] There's no one to take my blame If they wanted to There's nothing to keep me sane And it's all the same to you There's nowhere to set my aim So I'm everywhere Never come near me again Do you really think I need you? I'll never be open again, I could never be open again [x2] [Outro] And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend And I'll never be open again And I'll have no more dreams to defend And I'll never be open again
