MISUNDERSTANDING
(Jean-Pierre Mercier /Jean-Pierre Mercier)
The drugs are sinking in
And have you speaking in tongues
I lacks the discipline
Of which you are paragon
Can’t be made to comply
No love can set me free
I’ll never word your lies
No matter what you try,
You’ll never beat it out of me
No words are cruel enough
To force your journey on
None that you are thinking of
But then again,
The night’s still young
Tell me, am I
Misunderstanding
Could I be
Misunderstanding
You tell me
The trial of my intentions
The fire you were breathing in
Left but wrath and scorn
Branded on her skin
You’re hanging from above
The thorns I lies upon
I can see it clear enough now
But once again,
My timing’s wrong

LOVE LETTERS PERFUMED WITH ETHER
(Jean-Pierre Mercier /Jean-Pierre Mercier)
No warning
Or blinding flare from the moon
There were none
But in writing
Inked with fire
Words are slave to your ways
Like a drug
They’re thriving
They summon storms and hurricanes
At least someone to cry your name
They’re deafening
Volatile
The poetry never goes away
Only dies a little each passing day
Lines refining…
Into a smile, that takes control
Nobody else could ever know
That you’re the one that wrote
Those love letters perfumed with ether
No guilt or lust weighs on your soul
Your blood is hot, your heart’s so cold
Yet I would love to earn
Your love letters perfumed with ether
In your eyes
They’re like stains on a sheet
But your heart
Knows what is happening
To them
Go slowly heaven read with me
Our lives rely on our chemistry
Reacting…

THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
(Jean-Pierre Mercier /Jean-Pierre Mercier)
Can’t assume that I am next in line
As I’m staring at the rolling dice
Cause if it wasn’t for the bad luck
Then I wouldn’t have any luck at all
None
It’s spreading far and wide
And hailed as the longest ride
Still I may not know where I’m going
But I know I’m going there on my own
Alone
You’re sentenced for life
Tempting your fate
Where you’ll be breading more lies
Each one a line on your face
If you follow your heart
When you follow your heart
Sweep me off my feet and bring me home
No delusion can outmatch my own
Know the dream is more abysmal
Than any love ever fallen into
Or through
You’re sentenced for life
Tempting your fate
Where you’ll be breading more lies
Each one a line on your face
If you follow your heart
When you follow your heart
As you run to your death
Tame your pride first
Know that you can’t catch you breath
And from there it only gets worse
When you follow your heart
If you ever follow your heart
Could never make my daughter proud
And could never joined the normal crowd
Maybe I haven’t worked it hard enough
Or maybe… I’m just not enough
