about

Imagine 30,000 years into the future - our future. Technology and adaptability and longevity (if you can afford it). All that, and we still cannot figure out how to love each other or ourselves.

lyrics

The Fault in Me
(c) 2019 G. LaMonte

I can't see my face without a mirror
Every child knows how light can bend
That is why reflections lie
Tell me what you see in me, my friend

Tell me what you want from me, my lover
I cannot see clearly to your soul
So dark in here when you close your eyes
Your kisses burn, why am I so cold?

I think that I am broken from the outside in
One measure of your kindness leaves me wonderin'
I do not deserve this heart beats in my hands
The fault in me grows wider
Not enough to let you in

I can't see tomorrow in this moment
It's the only moment I can know
The hope that lies in your eyes
Disappears the second you let go

It's not you, it's me ... These words get spoken
Blame myself so I don't have to change
Your love is something unfamiliar
The fault in me grows wider
To better feel this pain

The fault in me grows deeper
The fault in me grows true
The fault in me makes room for
Everything but you

Now, I cannot see daylight from this window
And I cannot tell if the stars still shine
All I know is shadow
I can't trust your heart if I can't trust mine

I think that I am broken from the outside in
One measure of your kindness leaves me wonderin'
I do not deserve this heart beats in my hands
The fault in me grows wider
Not enough to let you in

Randall Reichenbach nailed the mandolin on this track, and I am so grateful for his inspiration. He heard the song in progress, and said that he heard a mandolin because it was epic, like something from Lord of the Rings. Of course, I said, "Have at it," and the rest is history!
