Graphic Narrative Lyrics by Rick Barry

Declaration Of Codependence

2006

[Verse 1]
Happiness is miles away
It takes about seven days to get there
And if you want I'll be your man
I'll take you by your weathered hand and show you where
But my history is one big pit
Of bad mistakes with no regrets left to speak of
Still somewhere on that winding path
Beneath the rubble of the aftermath there is love
Now I'm living in a desolate world
Another one night stand, another nameless girl beside me
She has a face that I have seen before
In every lonely girl at the bar that's tried me
Now I'm swimming through the after stench
Of an evening so passionate, yet empty
I grab my clothes off the floor
Stumble through the darkness towards the door
And say, "Honey, I am leaving"
She got up outta bed
Never bothering to get dressed and came toward me
That's when I realized
I wasn't just like every other guy before me
She said "You don't have to but if you choose"
"You can stay another day or two, you won't regret it"
That's when the strangest thing occurred
I said I was in love with her and I actually meant it
[Verse 2]
Now I was trying to think logically
But the bedroom smell and her beauty were distractions
I shuttered at impulsiveness
And tried my best to make some sense of my reactions
Now in the past I have been in love
At least I, I think I was once
But it could of just been consequence
Or some chemical imbalance that I called love
Still analysis is my disease
So I allow my conscious to reprieve my emotions
I addressed her and she agreed
It would be best for us to proceed with caution
So I ran my fingers up her naked back
And kissed the crescent of her neck sweetly
She was soaking wet with impatience
She let out a sigh of eagerness discreetly
That's when she reached down for me
With the softest hands I've had the luxury of knowing
She leaned down and kissed my thigh
Both my loving and lustful sides were showing
On the bathroom floor, we made love
After which I placed here in the tub and ran the water
I baptized her with my respect
And washed all of myself off of her
