Name: Warning Signs
Duration: P00H04M40S
Description: This one took a really long time. Tried to give it a J-Pop vibe and make it about unrequited love at first, but it evolved to be more aggressive, angry, and completely different lyrically as time went on. Usually I try to keep from getting *too* mean with my lyrics, so I had to go against that instinct here.

lyrics

Chorus:
It's been too long for me to hesitate
Warning signs appear when it's too late
I think that you think that this is a game
You would never break the chain

Verse 1:
I'm tired of trying to make this work for people
I know would never do the same
It's all about appearances, so hide the bodies
And look for someone good to blame

Pre-Chorus:
Why take that second chance?
You'll screw it up again
You have a way with words, but you don't have a way with actions
I'm sick of trying to be your friend

Chorus:
It's been too long for me to hesitate
Warning signs appear when it's too late
And I think that you think that this is a game
You would never break the chain

Verse 2:
It's hard for me to buy that this is you now
I guess you lost another screw
If you're an asshole, then you're just an asshole
It doesn't matter what I do

Pre-Chorus:
This time, it's gone beyond a doubt
You've become so easy to cut out
Your doppelganger eyes tell a different story
Than what's coming from your mouth

Chorus:
It's been too long for me to hesitate
Warning signs appear when it's too late
And I think that you think that this is a game
You would never break the chain

*solo*

Pre-Chorus:
It doesn't matter what you say
Our old relationship has changed
A shadow of a friend hiding in the corner
With no more sympathy to spare

Chorus:
It's been too long for me to hesitate
Warning signs appear when it's too late
And I think that you think that this is a game
You tried erasing his first name

It's too late for you to compensate
Our DNA's about to seperate
And I know that you know you've broken our trust
Say goodbye to all of us

It's been too long for me to hesitate
Warning signs appear when it's too late

Lonely Enclave
by Lonely Enclave

Our first album is a raw piece of garage (er, basement) rock, heavily inspired by Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Weezer. It's rough, but it's free, and in my biased opinion, worth a listen. John Vermeersch
