It's time for some oldies (for me) and new stuff (for most of you). Here are the lyrics to a song I wrote for my band, the Knocked Over Pylons a few years ago. Enjoy.

Knocked over Pylons
-The Scope
Sometimes I stop to look at myself,
Wonder if I should even bother.
Always I stop to look at someone else,
It's a habit that's a bother.
Customized, photogenic lenses, working on you,
Non-digitized, cinematic view, looking at you.
Every day I pause for a minute,
Think that I shouldn’t ponder.
All the time I think on you,
Should I do this, I wonder?
Thoughts stretch on and on,
The day goes on,
Though it won't stretch longer.
My peepers squint,
and then a blink,
An hour gone in a moment.
Customized, photogenic lenses, working on you,
Non-digitized, cinematic view, looking at you.
Something's changed; you're only you in name,
Ya’ don't even look like you.
Lucky for me I've got a memory,
Guess I'll have to exercise it.
Think I'll have to exercise it.
Close the lens and exercise it.

E! I remembered what I wanted to write when I first read it on my phone. I love the lines
Customized, photogenic lenses, working on you,
Non-digitized, cinematic view, looking at you.
awesome. I also love Every day I pause for a minute,
Think that I shouldn’t ponder.
All the time I think on you,
Should I do this, I wonder?
What makes this song great is that it's got a bit of longing to it but it's bitter sweet. Great job.
