Inspired by Hamlet and Ophelia. 


Cigarette box lyin’ on the floor
Just as empty as it was the night before
I told you stop
Said why don’t you listen
You whispered “Hon, watch them glisten.”
Bottles tipped over on the couch
Too drunk to see you keep missing your mouth
You said, “Pick me up please, I can’t drive home”
I said, “I guess you’re better than some.”

Are you too far gone
Can you not see what you’ve done
He takes my wrists
Gets my attention with a shove
Some call it abuse
I call it love

Hair a greasy mess like it’s been
But your green eyes, your keen eyes, keep pullin’ me back in
You tell me to leave
That you hate hurting me
I’ll smile sweetly then
But later cry quietly
Why do I let you treat me like this?
I see the man you were when we shared our first kiss
I’m hopelessly in love with our toxicity
Intoxicated with the thought that maybe you’d miss me

Are you too far gone (too far gone)
Can you not see what you’ve done (what you've done)
Words firing at warp speed
As blunt as boxing gloves
Some call it abuse
But I call it love

Maybe it’s my fault putting you on a pedestal
And softening your blows and words with what I am able
Try to forgive
Feel my body go numb
Convince myself that you are not what you’ve become

Are you too far gone (too far gone)
Can you not see what you’ve done (what you've done)
He takes my wrist
Gets my attention with a shove
Some call it abuse
But I call it love 
Some call it abuse
But I call it love (I loved you)
Some call it abuse
But I called it love.

Ophelia - full version

An experiment in layering electric guitar and working with drums on Garageband

Hazy lately, I am
Hazy lately

Open up the window feel the cold breeze on my cheek
Remember how soft and warm the air felt back in Tel Aviv
Think about the last time that I crossed your pretty mind
Honey I miss you, you got me feeling like I'm flying blind

Flying blind
Hazy lately, I am 
Hazy lately

Hazy

Just here in my room desperately trying to figure out how to use GarageBand. Grew up in San Diego, but have lived all over the place.
