Melodic Monday: †his is a † rick - † † † Crosses

It's another Melodic Monday ... I'm your author and host, Steve Seigh. Born with a microphone in my hand I've grown to embrace music in all it's forms throughout my years. Here, we'll be taking music to the next level: visually, socially, and spiritually. How it works is that I turn off all the lights inside my head, losing myself inside a giant set of headphones, I listen, and tell you what I see. There will never be any prior research as to the meanings of the music, this is you getting inside my head. Get in!

"†his is a † rick"

Something's changed in your face I notice
A different sparkle in those crazy eyes
Your unmistakable charade I know it
Always tricks me every time.

A million tears, A trillion times
I've seen that glaze and glitch in your eyes.

This is a trick
Hello, hello, I know
What this really is
I know hello, hello, hello

What's the matter with the transformation?
What you've been practicing for days and nights.
While I'm watching the creation of this awful creature that no one likes.

A million tears, A trillion times
I've seen that glaze and glitch in your eyes.

This is a trick
Hello, hello, I know
What this really is
I know hello, hello
This is a trick
Hello, hello, I know
What this really is
I know hello, hello.

I'm so excited I can hardly take it.

This is a trick
Hello, hello, I know
What it really is
I know hello, hello,

It's just a trick
Hello, hello, I know
What it really is
I know hello, hello



Your life is merely a labored breath, a sigh of the earth as it continues on it's way through the cosmos. There simply is no time for people who choose to wear masks around the individuals in which they are romantically involved. Minutes turn to hours and hours melt into days faster than you'd think. Honesty is the foundation of trust and trust is a key component in finding true and devoted love.

There is nothing quite like love turning the gun on you and being unafraid to pull the trigger. Imagine that the person you thought you knew and loved for so long had always, the whole time, been crying you rivers of crocodile tears. It was just a trick. You've been noticing changes that you did not want to admit were there. That sparkle inside of your lovers eyes has changed, it's become dull and foreign to you, so much so that even your friends have begun to notice.What once was so fresh and exciting has started to grow stale and tasteless. Paranoia starts to work its way inside of your brain and the awful patterns of the one you love reveal a transformation of awful tendencies.

You must never waste your time on those who would attempt to deceive you. The world will not wait for you to catch up to the unwritten rules pertaining to the game of love. The chicanery of others is a vile and wicked magic that could very well leave you drained and could even be so fatal as to break your spirit entirely. You must not let this happen, after all, it's just a trick.
