Title – Nobody Like You
One more mile 'til I lay
rest
I have put myself through this rigid test
But the mile has never ended no distance has been gained
I do not see greatness I wanted to obtain
Where is my embrace from the race that I have run?
I have kept a steady pace but still I have not won
When I'm on
that stage I feel alive. The music
pours out of me and sometimes I feel like I'm not controlling it. Like when you sneeze it just happens no way
of stopping that. I can't stop the
music. Why would I want that
though? I won't. But sometimes I wonder is there more to me
then this guitar? I look at my band
mates and know they have lives and even families off of the stage. I want that.
Rest easy
have no fear
I love you perfectly
love drives out fear
I'll take your burden
you take My grace
Rest easy
in My embrace
After every concert we all
get together and dip back a few drinks.
Nothing to get drunk, but were all adults so it's allowed. It was the night after a show in Rock Crest
Arkansas one of my best performances to date.
I should have been jumping up and down shouting on the rooftops, but I
couldn't. The feeling something was
missing, that I shouldn't be out on the stage had reared it's ugly head. Over time I had learned to shake that
feeling off and put on a smile. That
night I didn't feel like it. Said my
congrats to my band mates, grabbed a Lite and went outside. The stars were out extra bright they seemed
to have been hand painted on a black canvas.
A truly marvelous sight.
I am such a sinner I fear my evil ways
I fear my imperfection I fear my final days
I just want to take control and snap this rusty chain
drop my heavy burden it seems to be in vain
Suddenly I feel myself
starting to cry. About everything I
suppose, my feelings, life, and some things so deep down I don't even know that
there hidden inside of me. I felt like
a fool. Here I am a grown man according
to Rolling Stones magazine a guitar player to keep an eye on; and I'm
crying. I wish I were 7 again when
someone else in a just a few minutes could solve all your problems. I heard the door open, I turn myself away in
hopes whoever it is will just leave me be and not see the tears. The footsteps start and come in my
direction. With my mouth open to speak
to politely ask them to leave, I feel a hand rest on my shoulder.
Rest easy
have no fear
I love you perfectly
love drives out fear
I'll take your burden
you take My grace
Rest easy
in My embrace
I turn up and find myself
looking into Molly's eyes. Just
great. Of all the people to walk over I
really didn't want it be her, I didn't want her to see me crying. I felt like a little boy, not a grown man
like I wanted everyone to view me as.
She sits down next to me not saying anything, was she waiting for me to
speak? I had nothing to say though. Time seemed to of slowed down to a turtle
pace enjoying the race. Apart of me
felt that Molly understand my feelings.
Like she had been in my shoes before.
I liked knowing I had someone to lean on, the feeling of knowing I was
loved poured out of me, like rain from a cloud.
I am not a bold man even though I want to be
I am just a dreamer with a timid history
Scared of confrontations I fume all through the night
the world has it's hold on me and I just want to fly
The sky, the sky is open wide
but I can't fly 'til I step aside
I should say something,
silence can't last forever. This moment
I didn't want ruined though, I felt torn inside. Molly slid her hand off my shoulder, runs it down the length of
my arm, and stops at my hand and grapes a hold of it. I look over in surprise; in her eyes I see something I never
dreamed of. I had dreamed of it but it
one of those there's a better chance of Santa Claus walking by, then it to
actually happen. In her eyes held the
emotion of love and complete understanding towards me. I couldn't understand it. Why would anyone, especially Molly Phillips
the lady I had a crush on since the day I decided girls were no longer icky, would
care about me? I was nothing
special. I was a nothing plain and
simple.
Rest easy
have no fear
I love you perfectly
and perfect love drives out fear
I'll take your burden
you take My grace
Rest easy
in My embrace
Rest easy, rest easy
rest easy, in My embrace
Rest easy
For the
second time I open my mouth to speak but I am stopped before the words are able
to escape. Not by a hand landing on my
shoulder, but Molly's lips meeting mine.
I would have been fool not accept, so I allowed her to kiss me and I
back. Slowly we pulled away, her eyes
this time asking are you ok? I wanted
to know how she could see into my soul, how she knew what I needed. After a kiss like that all my worries should
have been gone, but they weren't. What
was wrong with me?! I suspect she
noticed my frustrations towards me because she reaches over with her other hand
and softly brushes my cheek. I wanted
to be strong for Molly, I couldn't though.
Then she speaks the first words gently and with such care. "I promise I
will never let anything hurt you." And
I knew she was right. Perhaps it was
the romantic atmosphere, my somergous board of feelings, or something even
deeper. But I knew whatever I had to
struggle with Molly would help me through.
