Description
We have nearly arrived at our destination, the present. We have just a few stops left. My Crime, which is #8 on One Man Screaming took me quite a while actually to get into this form. I am pretty sure what started this was the two chord acoustic verse, which for me inspired a weird mix of funk, jazz, and latin overtones. Taking that as a base, I was able to create something that I think is extremely thick PPTKO style, in my deluded mind a glorious representation of this style and a very full modern representation of the mood I have had in my mind for years. I know, that's saying a lot isn't it. What I really hope is that there is a real intensity here, a viable energy that is believable and even intoxicating. If I could dare to dream that is something I might have floating over my pillow. You will have to let me know where you stand.
In actuality, when I got done with it there was a strong dose of punkish rock to go along with the other styles I mentioned. I guess I have that in me what can I say (or do). I will also add that it was a sheer pleasure to lay down the final layer, which was the lead electric guitar. I enjoyed playing/creating this song very much.
The subject matter is along the lines of saying "what did I do wrong?". Feeling stupid and naive, but yet realizing that in the moment there was no choice but to surrender. I have heard, and possibly made attempts at learning, that you can't gain if you won't risk, so yeah, really in retrospect the only mistake you ever made was risking. But you HAD TO do that didn't you! It is frustrating, it is mind boggling, it is as hilarious as it is painful. Well, I can tell you that sometimes you risk and you win! So there is another side. But I am not capable of writing an interesting set of lyrics about the other side! Losing is more interesting! Right? Anyway I kind of hope the lyrics are as fun as they are disturbing.

Lyrics
a whisper in the dark
you draw me near
telling me i have nothing to fear
oh my lady
I am breaking
I find that I don't have the will
to resist
calling me softly as if you know I'll come
swearing I'll always be your only one
oh baby
I must be crazy
You know you lead me into your web
though if I knew the truth
I would rather be dead
so slowly draw me into my grave
letting me believe that my soul
can still be saved
anything you want from me
or anything you need
anything you want you'll steal from me
my crime is I believe in you
sewing threads
of lies you tell
pull the strings
tie the knots well
oh my lady
won't you save me
you know that I believe you will
and you will
won't you?
trusting in my last lifeline
believing what I think I see in your eyes
oh my baby
could you betray me?
you know you can tangle me up in your web
when all is said and done
they'll find me lying here dead
with such precision
you put all your pawns in their place
letting me believe that my heart was safe
you draw me near
telling me i have nothing to fear
oh my lady
I am breaking
I find that I don't have the will
to resist
calling me softly as if you know I'll come
swearing I'll always be your only one
oh baby
I must be crazy
You know you lead me into your web
though if I knew the truth
I would rather be dead
so slowly draw me into my grave
letting me believe that my soul
can still be saved
anything you want from me
or anything you need
anything you want you'll steal from me
my crime is I believe in you
sewing threads
of lies you tell
pull the strings
tie the knots well
oh my lady
won't you save me
you know that I believe you will
and you will
won't you?
trusting in my last lifeline
believing what I think I see in your eyes
oh my baby
could you betray me?
you know you can tangle me up in your web
when all is said and done
they'll find me lying here dead
with such precision
you put all your pawns in their place
letting me believe that my heart was safe
