about

Since my album "Cassandra, Cursed" came last October, I've been working on an exciting new project that will be an album of all heavy music, coming out under the name of The Last Chingon, with the title "Heat Death Coda." But in the middle of that, I got the idea for this new song, which would certainly not fit on the heavy music album, and so it will be included in whatever "regular" solo album I have after that project is done. And so I'm releasing it as a single now. Hope you enjoy it!

lyrics

That’s How a Fable Starts
(© 2024 Walter Ehresman)

Seeing no one for quite some time now;
--Trading back from hope to dark;
Seein’ no kind of kismet chances;
--Feelin’ no spark.
Then you throw me scraps of kindness
--from outta the past;
And even though I surely know better,
--I feel the flame gather fast.

Just the idea of being in love—is it enough for the song?
Don’t know if it’s fair to anyone…..Don’t know if I’m out there doin’ wrong.

Getting out of bed for the thing that is gone;
Writin’ our script with those blinders on;
Desperate to feel anything but alone
--that’s how a fable starts.

Don’t know if you ever loved me
--(if we’re tryin’ to say things right);
Don’t know if you had it in you
--worthy in your sight?;
Don’t know—could it be any better?
--aligning planets this time?;
Don’t know if I even want you
--or just an idea sublime.
