about
This song is from archived recordings when I fronted a band called "WILL" with Jonathan Sheldon on lead guitar, Jeremy Ireland on rhythm guitar, Damon Martin on bass, and Peter Del Giudice (the Master) on drums. Eventually Pete and I sided on some artistic differences against Jon, Jeremy and Damon, who had developed as musicians and wanted to form a band of their own called "Naked", which was a really good band and it was great to see them flourish. Pete and I went our own way too, and still play on various things together. "How it killed you" is in a series of live recordings, about 16-17 songs, produced by Sony, under the supervision of Randy Jackson. Thank you. Love & Gratitude. -BDF
lyrics
my stare into the dark at night is all that tells the truth
but I keep that tucked away like the bitter taste of tired youth
all my heavy feelings never tell me where to go
but further under, fast, before they start to show
and you say what you want to about me
there are so many other sharks out in the sea
I know that’s the way things had to be
But I know how it killed you to set me free
I’ll run away to Vegas, that’ s where dreams come true
I’ll gamble down the strip at night and buy myself balloons
sleep the night in a single bed, as sweat runs down the wall
eyes drip slowly like a faucet, praying I wont wake at all
and you say what you want to about me
there are so many other sharks out in the sea
I know that’s the way things had to be
But I know how it killed you to set me free
you may see me wander, you may see me laugh
you may see inside of me another frightened half
you may say you know me, but you can’t say you know me well
I’ve only kept my secrets cause you were no one I could tell
and you say what you want to about me
there are so many other sharks out in the sea
I know that’s the way things had to be
But I know how it killed you to set me free
out: alone at night you cry you’re right nothing holds you anymore
you made it clear goodbye my dear, don’t bother me no more
