lyrics

Relentless

A guessing game I'm playing...ah, you made an impression. Are you a fair glimpse of heaven or a ticket to depression?
They say nothing lasts forever except for late night movies. I'm tossing and I'm turning, I want you here with me.

Do I break down and call tonight? Every cell in me lusts for you.

My soul of wrath and anger, of age and doubt and danger. Everyday a little darker, everyday a little stranger.
And damned to lay in shadows with all the things you can't see, all stained and lost and jaded as you will never be.

I'll whisper sweet dreams tonight, all the scenes I could sing for you...
I saved all my worst for you.

(C) You stand so fair and high and so pure it makes me cry. In the cold place I reside, you light my empty sky.

When we speak I study your fine and gentle features, and I behold an angel, a heaven-born creature.
Desire, it overwhelms me, clouds my heart and my view. Tempted to touch, to hold you, tempted to corrupt you.

I could show you my world tonight, its rough scenes could be taking you...
and all the while I'll be breaking you.

(C) There you are all clean and bright, a beacon in my endless night. There could be such pain and delight, but conscience holds me tight.

Transcendent, my love. I want to leave this world behind with you.
A tempest, my love. I want to bleed upon the rocks with you.

I can give you my heart tonight, hear its beat, hear its mournful call:
An empty shell full of nothing at all.

(C) I turn back to meet the gray and embrace my barren ways. In my dreams you beg me to stay, in this world I just walk away.

Relentless, my love. I want to forget every word of you.

John Ludi is a musician/singer-songwriter with a wide array of influences and lyrical interests who was "Indie" before the term even existed. Working outside of the music industry by choice has given Ludi the ability to release songs of a level of lyrical depth that are anathema to the minds of the "suits". Ludi lives off-grid in a yurt in the woods of WI and will "fight the power" til he dies. ... more
