**************
Pick apart

The pieces of your heart

And let me peer inside

Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been

Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine

You have lost

Too much love
To fear, doubt and distrust

(It’s not enough)
You just threw away the key

To your heart
You don’t get burned

(’Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see…

Love ain’t fair
So there you are
My love

Your heart’s a mess
You won’t admit to it
It makes no sense

But I’m desperate to connect

And you, you can’t live like this

Love ain’t safe
You won’t get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don’t wanna waste my love

    This has been a favorite song of mine for the past couple years. My 4-year-old daughter is liking the album right now too. I first saw this video on a STASH video magazine. Well done.

    I love the dreamlike imagery that hovers somewhere between a fantasy and a nightmare. I also love the unique character designs and walk cycles. I think the music and video work together very nicely and become a whole piece, greater together than separate. :)
