Story Behind The Song

Collaboration #2 with good friend Adam Maxfield. He sent out a song asking for lyrics and this is what happened.

Lyrics

Verse1



Tendrils of the past and
The good times never last and
You left me on my ass and
It took me a thousand nights to breath again


You said 1 night is all and
I wouldn't mind the fall and
The price to pay seemed small and
Now every night I battle with the pain


I hear her in the night and
Struggle for the light and
Find it only to lose sight and
Now I sit alone here in the rain


The substance of regret and
A love we can't forget and
The blood the innocents let
Are all the midnight dreamer has to gain


Bridge


Said the spider to the fly,
Was there ever more lovely than I
You can dance on my silk if you try
Said the spider to the fly,
Then leaves me forever waiting to die


Chorus


And one night is more than enough
To leave you crying for more
When you should be screaming no

One night is more than enough
To scale the face of a cliff
To where you can't let go


One night is never enough
When the knife cuts so deep
Your heart begins to show.

One night is never enough,
No it's never enough, no it's never enough


Verse 2


The dreamers seldom wake when
There's not a prize at stake and
There's not a risk to take and
Yet in this darkness even dreamers can pretend


Easy come and easy go and
Who are they who claim they know and
What rewards are there's to show and
Will they break when it's there turn to bend



The fly was on the wall and
The spider made the call and
The mark will take the fall and
Hang in terror waiting for the end


Bridge


Said the spider to the fly,
Was there ever more lovely than I
You can dance on my silk if you try
Said the spider to the fly,
Then leaves me forever waiting to die


Chorus


And one night is more than enough
To leave you crying for more
When you should be screaming no

One night is more than enough
To scale the face of a cliff
To where you can't let go

One night is never enough
When the knife cuts so deep
Your heart begins to show.

One night is never enough,
No it's never enough, no it's never enough

Verse 3

The mirror seldom lies and
You try to hide your eye and
This fragile worn disguise
Is never gonna wipe away the pain

You said one night is all and
I wouldn't mind the fall and
The price to pay seemed small and
Now I live that single night
Again and again and again and again

Chorus
