HEARTBROKE
Lyrics & Music by Waylon K. Smith
©2019 Waylon K. Smith
CH:
My heart broke but it wasn’t your fault
& I’ve never felt so small
As I walked away I could see myself through your eyes
I watched myself diminish on your horizon
In a shower of sparks
We burned brightly but fell dark
Chandelier shards
Gorgeous & glorious as stars
We were formless
Awkward & aimless
Somethings never change
Our cigarettes & our silhouettes
Were exactly the same
CH:
My heart broke but it wasn’t your fault
& I’ve never felt so small
As I walked away I could see myself through your eyes
I watched myself diminish on your horizon
Stereo flame
Wild filaments flickering
Arcing between
A nightmare & a daydream
We lived our lives counterclockwise
Aching for something to write
We blinked out like so many streetlights
At the end of the night
CH:
My heart broke but it wasn’t your fault
& I’ve never felt so small
As I walked away I could see myself through your eyes
I watched myself diminish on your horizon

SOLITUDE SONG
Lyrics & Music by Waylon K. Smith
©2019 Waylon K. Smith
The whimper of wet wood
& bones on a bonfire
It’s the music of mourning
A tune for a funeral pyre
Ashes & embers
Ghosts of smoke
Endless, nameless, crosses
From desert to coast
Desert to coast
CH1:
Barely awake, night blind on the interstate
Solitude song, baptized by the dawn
BRIDGE (instrumental)
& Mother Superior
Like grains of sand
Let the starlit exterior
Slip through her hands
It sifted through her hands
CH3:
Barely awake, night blind on the interstate
Solitude song, solitude song, solitude song
Baptized by the dawn

LONELY EYES FOR YOU
Lyrics & Music by Waylon K. Smith
©2019 Waylon K. Smith
We fell in love on a fault line
& caught the blame for these strange times
You fell to pieces while I fell apart
It was an awkward way to start
We took to the stage & we faked it
We saw the audience was naked
I stole the scene & you stole the show
There was nowhere left to go
CH:
I’ve got lonely eyes for you
I’ve got lonely eyes for you
We stole a car & started driving
You said the city lights were blinding
You turned the wheel & I turned the radio dial
Open road for miles & miles & miles
CH:
I’ve got lonely eyes for you
I’ve got lonely eyes for you
I’ve got lonely eyes for you
I’ve got lonely eyes for you
A couple of long, bitter, winters
We named our babies after singers
You’re still beautiful & I can still make you laugh
Let’s keep turning tomorrow into the past
CH:
I’ve got lonely eyes for you
I’ve got lonely eyes for you
I’ve got lonely eyes for you
I’ve got lonely eyes for you

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Lyrics & Music by Waylon K. Smith
©2019 Waylon K. Smith
I’ve got blurry, blood-shot eyes
& it’s always morning
You’re curled up & turning
& purring & yawning
You said “Darling, please don’t go. Don’t ever leave me alone.”
& I’m afraid I have to remind you
I’ll lay down on the path worn behind you
& the tracks that you left will be crescent moons
Not from sandles, or boots, but from freshly shod hooves
La la la…
You said “Darling, please don’t go. Don’t ever leave me alone.”
You said “Darling, please don’t go. Don’t ever leave me alone.”
& I’m afraid if I say I’m in love with you
Then I’ll burst into flames right in front of you
& if you feel anything similar to me
Then we can sing each other to sleep
La la la…

SIGN OF LIFE
Lyrics & Music by Waylon K. Smith
©2019 Waylon K. Smith
I made you in the image
Of someone dear to me
To have someone near me
A face from memory
& I crossed myself
& whispered your name aloud
(You were silent as a shroud)
& begged you to breathe
CH:
Give me a sign of life
Give me a sign of life
Give me a sign of life
Show me the sparks behind your eyes
BRIDGE (instrumental)
You could be here with me
You could be a galaxy
Of infinity
We could be family
CH:
Give me a sign of life
Give me a sign of life
Give me a sign of life
Show me the sparks behind your eyes
