about
"Betray Me To Myself" is one of the songs Stonewall has been carrying around for a while. It is in many ways a thesis statement of what you get when you listen to him.
This song was recorded on 9/10/2011 in a recording session at Paul Langford's studio in Chicago (
paullangfordmusic.com) during a session originally intended to be a demo of five or songs. We were productive enough to go ahead and record a full album of songs.
lyrics
I am disgusted with myself
I am disgusted with myself
Today I saw your smile, and I
Afterwhiled away your time
Tell me, I’m the only one that you’ve been waiting for
Tell me, I’m not the only one that you been waiting for, waiting for
Tell me, I’ve just tricked myself like I’ve done before
Betray me to myself
Sunspots clear my eyes,
clear my mind
Can you see through my charade
I will act out the pieces of me for you
Tell me, I’m the only one that you’ve been waiting for
Tell me, I’m not the only one that you been waiting for, waiting for
Tell me, I’ve just tricked myself like I’ve done before
Betray me to myself
And I been searching for the heart of a fool’s gold
I been stretching out, I been stretching, I been stretching out
Tell me, everything that I been looking for
How do I find, the doors that open
Open my eyes
I no longer need, everything that I thought that I needed
Did I bleed or is this someone else’s blood been shed for me
I no longer know, where I’m going too
I no longer know, what I’m doing here
I am disgusted with myself
I am disgusted with myself
Today I saw your smile, and I
Afterwhiled away your time
Tell me, you’re the only one that I’ve been waiting for
Tell me, I’ve just tricked myself like I’ve done before
Betray me to myself
Betray me to myself
Betray me to myself
