lyrics

I could taste hesitation in your kiss
Like intuition, a premonition that came to pass
I laid awake in the dark, told myself this
Deep down, you know this isn't going to last

We're at an impasse
We're on the bridge
I'm telling you, come on, I got you babe,
But we gotta cross this thing
You couldn't reach me
You wouldn't meet my eyes
And through the mist, above the clouds,
I found I couldn't recognize
your face anymore.

I could sense all the sorrow in your step
Every time, we walked a line, you’d look away from me
I could sense all the secrets that you kept
No matter what I asked, you’d bask in misery

I didn’t think I could ever get you to tell me
But some inner drive would propel me
Now I don't think that I know what could compel me
to keep dragging you around
with your feet stuck in the ground

We’re in a stalemate
Across the field
I’ve called down the firing squad
Wave your flag, you've been revealed
But you wouldn't stand up
You wouldn’t lift your hands
You stared at me, silent in your bunker,
I just can’t understand
your stance anymore.

I guess you might say a million chances weren't enough
I guess you might say that I'm being far too tough
Now I meet every deal you try to strike with a rebuff
I've used all of my reserves
I fought longer than deserved

We’re in a gridlock
Both sides, unheard
The embassy translation team
Can't make out a single word
I can't get through to you
I cannot make you see
All the shit you put me through
But now I am finally
Showing you the door.

about

MIDI Myers Boston, Massachusetts

I'm an electro-pop musician who goes by "MIDI Myers," a tribute to my actual name (Maddy Myers) and the MIDI pad that I use when I play live, in conjunction with my keytar and live vocals. My lyrics often blend honest accounts of my own life experiences and anxieties with humor and pop culture allusions, all set to keytar leads, electronic drums, and a comprehensive bank of MIDI synths. ... more
