about

I believe the music came first. Then I went through the Songfight.org archives to look for song titles, and "A Thousand Swords" was one of the earlier titles.

lyrics

You’re too good at making me bleed.
You can aim the other way
and you will still succeed.
Your blades are like magnets,
they pull to my heart,
and I know when it hits
it will always be sharp.

In case you haven’t guessed,
you stabbed the pin-cushion in my chest.
I felt a thousand swords before,
but they never hurt like yours.

If I could I’d invest in a shield.
I’m sure that it would do no good.
The lacerations won’t heal.
So, lower your weapons.
I’m not here to attack.
Can we call a truce?
I like the sound of that.

In case you haven’t guessed,
you stabbed the pin-cushion in my chest.
I felt a thousand swords before,
but they never hurt like yours.
I’ve been in pain, and I’ve been in grief.
I’ve been ashamed, I’ve felt disbelief.
I’m almost numb to it all, that’s what I swore.
You cut me like a sword.

In case you haven’t guessed.
I’ve got a pin-cushion in my chest.

about

Glenn Case Spokane, Washington

I write music.

I listen to music.

I genuinely just love music.

I have a song available in "Rock Band" and that makes me smile.

Yeah, I'm the guy who did the soundtrack for "The New Adventures of Captain S".

I probably release too many albums, but I do attempt to find a good balance between quality and quantity.

Thank you. ... more
