lyrics

“All I’d Like To Say”

I'd like to say that I could give you my heart, but I can't.
It's still beatin in my chest, and I need it for the time being.
I'd like to say that I wake up with a smile, but I don't.
All the day's questions way heavy on my shoulders.

I already gave my heart away.
I had to find a new one at the morgue.
And I'm lucky it's still beating in it's Frankenstein kinda way.
I already gave my smile away,
and she pawned it that afternoon.
I was passing by chance when I saw it in the window.

I'd like to say that I say what I mean,
but I only say what I'm thinking.
And my thoughts circle round the truth in the most skittish of ways.
The truth seems to change from day to day.
But I'm stuck in the same way of gazing.
Seeing double, crossin over my lazy left eye.

I already gave my sight away.
I chose to live in the dark and stumble.
It's romantic kind of ideal, that Tyresias had sold me on a couple years
back.
But I see things much sharper now.
And your absence cuts into me like a knife.
But the blood that flows is sweeter than wine.

I'd like to say I could give you my heart,
but it's not mine to give.
And who am I to give a gift that you unwrap to find broken.
I'd say that it'll heal in time.
But time just lends me shades of grey.
And everything that's lent must be returned.

I have got nothing to give you.
I have got nothing to give you.

Avi Fox-Rosen makes music with a sardonic sense of humor, dense and dark lyrics, and enchantingly twisted melodies. In 2013 he's releasing an EP of brand new material every month. New York Music Daily has heralded Avi's album-a-month project as "one of the most ambitious jobs anyone in the rock world has taken on lately". Damn straight. ... more
