Life Is Nothing

Time is nothing to me but a number
Two is nothing to me but an age
Money is nothing to me but a power
Life is nothing to me but a stage
Pen is nothing to me but a window
Song is nothing to me but a soul
Crypt is nothing to me but a keeper
Life is nothing but growing old
Space is nothing to me but a body
Heart is nothing to me but a star
And if these things will cripple me slowly
Life is nothing but where we are

Given the circumstance Daisy would say
Blink twice, take a breath, watch your life fade away
And I’ve given it quite enough thought just to say
That I’m still standing here, 18 and afraid
But look here, each thing pays a price
He got along so far and now he thinks twice
Has a daughter, a family that he calls his own
Gives no thoughts about me
And I don’t feel alone
In the world
It’s okay
Breathe it in
Wipe the tears off your face
Take a walk
Count to ten
Keep the past in the past
It’s the past for a reason
And now I’m not saying you have to choose kindness
For those who excused all their violence for blindness
I’m braver than I just for standing my ground
And cutting the ties that were holding me down
Chorus
I did my time
Holding my self compassion hostage
But I’ll take what’s mine
My purity, sanity was never defined
By the boy in the snow
Or the grace that I’ve come to know
Chorus
Pay all your dues to inevitability
Death and taxes are life’s great fragility
And promise me darling, when you are older
You’ll foolishly let go of none of your wonder

The Dance

He asks for my hand to see if I’d like to dance
From across the room I can feel the fingertips in his glance
I can say no, but what good would it do
To sit across the room and stare at you
So we do the dance
It comes in twos
One by one
Nothing to lose
I tried to wash the stain off of my skin
But my blood ran crimson before the dance did begin
He wraps his hands gently around my hips
I’m reeling - the feeling - his tall tales grace my lips
Burning desire, his flames but my fire, pirouettes across the night sky
His insatiable act for leading, I don’t know why
Chorus
So we do the dance
It comes in twos
Round and round
Nothing to lose
I tried to wash the stain off of my skin
But his blood ran crimson before the dance did begin
I feel his every breath as he draws me in
Whispers the softest, sweetest as candy sin
But I knew it was comin’ when I took the chance
He didn’t want love, he wanted romance
He didn’t want love, he just wanted the dance

Jayne & the Huntsmen Huntsville, Alabama
With vocals that are fit for bluesy runs but equally at home in a 90s style dreamscape, piercing lyrics that are punctuated by strong guitars and drums, and harmonies that find the sweet spot every time, they have settled into their own hybrid genre - Emocana. ... more
