I'm writing you a letter in my head
I'll give it to you when you're dead
When I figure out what to say
I'll say it to your grave
I'll capture how I feel
and wonder if it's real
might just keep it to myself
I'll never tell
I'm writing you a letter in my head
I'll bring it to your deathbed
when it can't get any worse
I'll tell you where it hurts
and all the times I cried
wanting you on my side
my last chance and if I don't
you'll never know
I'm writing you a letter in my head
not everything's been said
and when the time is right
I want to and I might
feel your love again
if only to pretend
we're in a better place
we dropped out of the race

I watch myself making you feel like a man again
I'm letting you go back to her only to die again
You're drawn to my strength but I'm not safe like her misery
The damage is done, and everybody's going to cry
Loving me reminds you of loving her with all your love
And loving you reminds me of being born again with all my love
And loving me makes you feel like a good man under the circumstances
But loving you takes me where no one wins and nothing's fair
We watch ourselves turning this all into poetry
I watch myself making you feel like my enemy
We crawl toward our graves, there's no place for our ecstasy
You want me, I want you, forever lost in what might have been
Loving me reminds you of loving her with all your love
And loving you reminds me of being born again with all my love
And loving me makes you feel like a good man under the circumstances
But loving you takes me where no one wins and nothing's fair
Did we come here to live?
Did we come here to die?
Was it all a dream?
Was it all a lie?

Cold Heart
I stare at these walls every day
Go out and smile through clenched teeth every night
But someone's running as I speak
And I'm wishing it was me
And the waves are at my feet
But it's too cold to go in deep
But I'll try to keep the faith
But this town has brought me to my knees
I'm afraid my cold heart is gonna freeze
I try, I really do, to get along
I pretend it's all right when it's all wrong
Someone's dream is coming true
And I want mine to
I am humble most of the time
But I want more, where is mine?
I'll try to keep the faith
But this town has brought me to my knees
I'm afraid my cold heart is gonna freeze
My heart is turning white
And my mind is turning black
There's a fire on the rage
I hope it burns up my cage
I'll try to keep the faith
But this town has brought me to my knees
I'm afraid my cold heart is gonna freeze

4 Track Phantoms San Clemente, California
New site with studio work is: cecily4.bandcamp.com
This site is 4 track demos. Hi, I'm
Cecily, and this is my project, the 4 Track Phantoms, a kind of diary of a free range singer, songwriter, musician.
I write songs and record them playing all of the instruments myself on my 4 track cassette portable studio. And reflect on the songwriting process, subject matter, and recording process.
