Lust A Prima Vista

So, everytime I listen to The Spill Canvas' One Fell Swoop, every song speaks to me, and most on a pretty deep level. The song writing on this and really all of their albums is so honest and emotional it's hard not to belt out every song along with Nick's brilliance. The album starts with this little tour de force and it hits especially hard, at least in my heart, so I thought I'd share.

"In one fell swoop it became clear to me,
that I despise you entirely,
but the good news is I'm gonna keep you around
And so your lust is just convenient now

Crack open a bottle of red
Let's toast to this here bed
Offer up your hand
My one night, two month, three year stand

And all at once it became clear to me,
that you're allergic to honesty
And you don't even have a friend around
And so my lust is just convenient now

Crack open a bottle of red
Let's toast to this here bed
Offer up your hand
My one night, two month, three year stand

I'm on my knees,
but so are you
Unfortunately for the wrong reasons
I keep incessantly believing that you're pure,
but you know it's not true

There's nothing wrong with being lonely

Crack open a bottle of red
Let's toast to this here bed
Offer up your hand
My one night, two month, three year stand

Crack open a bottle of red
Let's toast to this here bed
Offer up your hand
My one night, two month, three year stand"

Music is whatever you make it. If it's life, it's life. If it's love, it's love. If it's pain, it's pain. You can make it anything you want...just make it.
