lyrics

Oh, you came in like a waterfall
Off the deep end– you didn’t look at all
You didn’t look at all
I was swimmin’ minding my business
When you came in with a quickness
I… I felt so alive

I was drowning before the drought
You gave me everything
Then you replaced it all with doubt
Like it was nothing
Was I nothing?

Guess you’re a figment of my imagination
An idealized simple amalgamation
Just another ghost who let me down
You stayed long enough to glean perfection
Took it all for granted with my time and affection
Oh… didn’t think that you’d run cold

I was drowning before the drought
You gave me everything
Then you replaced it all with doubt
Like it was nothing
Was I nothing?

So it’s okay to hurt me if you don’t look in my eyes, is that right?
Have you told yourself that I’ll be better off– you’re doing something nice?
You really fooled me but I think you may have really fooled yourself
I think you may have me mistaken for someone else

I was drowning before the drought
You gave me everything
Then you replaced it all with doubt
Like it was nothing
I wasn’t nothing

I was drowning before the drought
You gave me everything
I wasn’t nothing
Then you replaced it all with doubt
Like it was nothing
I wasn’t nothing

Chez Raymond
by ME & LP

supported by 4 fans who also own “Amalgamation”

In contrast to Matt Embree's previous projects (which were more guitar-focused or lyrical), his collaboration with French songwriter Lisa Papineau is laid-back and groovy--a Sunday afternoon that constrasts the frenetic hustle and bustle of the last Rx Bandits record. Eric Davies
