Walk Alone

I wrote this song sometime in 2000 I believe. I was living by myself in my crappy little attic apartment in Logan, UT. It was such a waste hole. I was watching TV one night and I saw a gargoyle on TV on a commercial or something. I thought to myself, "I've never heard of a gargoyle reference in a song", so I wrote one. I could be wrong. There could be lots of gargoyle references in songs. Anyway, this is a completely nonsensical song. There is no secret meaning to it. It's just a collection of words put together to make the song. I wanted to put strange imagery into it. I think I succeeded.


For a little while
Kiss a baby smile
Don’t give in to your hate
Scarlet edelweiss
Full of tar surprise
Locked inside heaven’s gate

Wander slowly through the dew drop covered streets
Dancing slowly to a cotton candy beat

Dust off my forgets
Pained with my regrets
And a story to tell
Talk of summer rain
Wish for endless pain
Buried deep in a well

Listen to the violin scream its expression
While you’re dreaming of a tongue dyed in depression

With a gargoyle stare
You can take me there
But I can’t walk alone
I have no home

Fight the war for me
Claim insanity
Make a peppermint choice
Don’t forget your song
All the rights made wrong
Taste my lollipop voice

See me scrape my ache from off these mortal bones
Liquid passion sings to me in foreign tones

With a gargoyle stare
You can take me there
But I can’t walk alone
I have no home

Look through my soul if you can
Grasp my life with plastic hand
Walk through lemonade night skies
Open up your cherry eyes

There’s no laughter here
Only bottled fear
And a faceless suicide
Morning’s just begun
With a velvet tongue
And a spirit you’ve denied


With your stained glass heart you quiver on the floor
Hoping desperately that one day he’ll adore

With a gargoyle stare
You can take me there
But I can’t walk alone
I have no home
