Space-dye vest

Falling through pages of Martens on angels
Feeling my heart pull west
I saw the future dressed as a stranger
love in a space-dye vest
Love is an act of blood and I´m bleeding
a pool in the shape of a heart
Beauty projection in the reflection
Always the worst way to start
[Sample is Julian Sands from the film "A Room With A View".]
"But he´s the sort who can´t know
anyone intimately, least of all a
woman. He doesn´t know what a woman
is. He wants you for a possession,
something to look at like a painting or an ivory box.
Something to own and to display. He doesn´t want you to be real,
or to think or to live. He doesn´t love you, but I love you.
I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and
feelings, even when
I hold you in my arms. It´s our last chance... It´s our
last chance..."
Now that you´re gone I´m trying to take it
Learning to swallow the rage
Found a new girl I think we can make it
as long as she stays on the page
This is not how I want it to end
And I´ll never be open again
[Sample from "The Trouble With Evan", from the Canadian series "The Fifth Estate".]
"...I was gonna move out...ummm...get,
get a job, get my own place, ummm,
but... I go into the mall where I
want to work and they tell me, I´m,
I was too young..."
[Sample is Jim Hill from a news commentary about the OJ Simpson freeway chase.]
"Some people, gave advice before,
about facing the facts, about
facing reality. And this is, this
without a doubt, is his biggest
challenge ever. He´s going to have to face it.
You´re gonna have to try, he´s gonna to have to try and,
uh, and, and, and get some help here. I mean no one can
say they know how he feels."
[Sample from the Conan O´Brien show.]
"That, so they say that, in ya know
like, Houston or something, you´d
say it´s a hundred and eighty degrees,
but it´s a dry heat.
In Houston they say that?
Oh, maybe not. I´m all mixed up.
Dry until they hit the swimming pool."
[Sample from "The Trouble With Evan", from the Canadian series "The Fifth Estate".]
"...I get up with the sun... Listen.
You have your own room to sleep in,
I don´t care what you do. I don´t
care when. That door gets locked,
that door gets locked at night by nine o´clock.
If you´re not in this house by nine o´clock, then you´d
better find some
place to sleep. Because you´re not going to be a bum in
this house.
Supper is ready..."
There´s no one to take my blame
if they wanted to
There´s nothing to keep me sane
and it´s all the same to you
There´s nowhere to set my aim
so I´m everywhere
Never come near me again
do you really think I need you
I´ll never be open again, I could never be open again.
I´ll never be open again, I could never be open again.
And I´ll smile and I´ll learn to pretend
And I´ll never be open again
And I´ll have no more dreams to defend
And I´ll never be open again
Feeling my heart pull west
I saw the future dressed as a stranger
love in a space-dye vest
Love is an act of blood and I´m bleeding
a pool in the shape of a heart
Beauty projection in the reflection
