No Closure
( John David Brake) from the album Blue Luster
"This was the second song I wrote about the whole ex-girlfriend situation that went down right before the band broke up. At this point, there was no real rhyme or reason why things ended the way they did. I was very angry and confused and was left wondering what the hell happened? Eventually, I found out what really happened and then I wrote Blind Sided. You can really tell where my head was at listening to those two songs. It was not a fun time for me. The good news is, that whole time period in my life pushed me to create two kick-ass songs. This song is probably the most personal one I've ever written. It's okay to write about being angry once in a while, just not every single song."
Song review written by John David Brake
V1
I TEAR YOUR PICTURES OFF THE WAL
I TEAR 'EM DOWN, I TEAR 'EM DOWN.
HIGH OFF YOUR PEDESTAL YOU FALL,
YOU'VE FALLEN DOWN, FALLING DOWN,
CHORUS
YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS LEAD TO MAD FRUSTRATION
FOOLISHNESS IS MINE
FATE IS CALLING, STOP ME FROM FALLING
THESE ARE THE CHAINS THAT YOU BIND
V2
I'M PARALYZED MY LIFE IS BOUND
I'M SHUTTING DOWN, I'M SHUTTING DOWN
FIRE IN MY EYES WHEN YOU'RE AROUND,
BURNING DOWN, BURN YOU DOWN
CHORUS
BRIDGE
TRY TO FORGET THE TIMES, THE TIMES THAT YOU WERE MINE,
AND YOU'VE FALLEN, FALLEN AWAY FROM ME.
AS THE YEARS CREEP BY, I STILL WONDER WHY I STILL SEE YOU,
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES....
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES....
CHORUS
