This one is more of a free form poem than a song... There are many songs that kinda follow this type of flow, though, so I had it in mind as the brooding opening to a CD.

I had someone read one of my songs, and he said he just didn't get it. He didn't understand what it meant. Many of my songs, particularly the coffee shop series, are pretty open ended. You're not supposed to know exactly what they mean. They mean whatever you want them to mean. Most of them are a little depressing, but I think there's a spark of hope in many of them. Hoping for something that is never going to happen, tho... that's kind of a drag. I've always really liked the line "false hope is a whore."

It means whatever you want it to mean.

the back way
the front gates
a secret hallway
a quiet day

the wrong in my thinking
the canyons in my mind
the holes in my story
the spaces in my lines

without knocking
when i'm unguarded
through my confusion
when i've been harmed

within insecurities
false hope is a whore
tickles my fancy
leave them wanting more

an exercise in supposed thinking
if i thought away, would you come along?
i think i'm pondering, in case you were wondering...
