Crush The Sun
©Jerry Axson
I can’t see my shadow,
in this place where I stand,
static in a noisy background,
darkness to an empty land,
my hands outstretched toward you –
and my eyes are closed so tight,
I’m afraid of what is out there,
I’ve been blinded by the light…
You cannot hide –
you can not lie,
I will not let you -
look away from my eyes,
I am the bullet –
you are the gun,
now close your fist –
and crush the sun…
You cannot hide –
you can not lie,
I will not let you -
look away from my eyes,
I am the bullet –
you are the gun,
now close your fist –
and crush the sun…
close your fist and…
close your fist and…
close your fist and –
crush the sun…
close your fist and…
close your fist and…
close your fist and –
crush the sun…

Baby And The Bath Water
©Jerry Axson
Baby said she loved me more than life itself,
told me it was destiny there was nobody else,
on my heart I believed every word she said…
days and nights together spent in each others arms,
protected from the shadows we kept each other warm
taking refuge in my big, brass bed…
Baby and the bath water – don’t throw the baby out,
when you told me that you loved me Lord, I never had one doubt,
now I’ve found the truth out and I know what you’re about…
Momma told me there would be days like this,
I would fight for your affection – I would have to steal your kiss,
precious is the love that you have betrayed…
so now you must decide where to put your heart,
and which one of us will be torn apart,
here I am and here I shall remain…

Down To The Wire
©Jerry Axson
Better take out your healing powders and –
call up your street mourners too,
I’m about one mil off the mark -
and I don’t know what I’m going to do,
Damn this thing in my chest –
beats like a drum machine,
for the wicked there is no rest,
down to the wire it seems…
it seems…
I’m not going to sleep tonight because I -
I’ll just dream of you,
and that breaks down my resistance,
it leaves me with these blues,
So down to the water I’ll run –
down, down, down,
you can watch me drown in the light,
all my sins fall down to the ground…
to the ground…
Even with it all wrapped up in an “easy to the touch” skin –
you’ve got to stand by your conviction – that’s all you have in the end,
save me from the monster inside that’s screaming to break out of here –
save me from myself because myself is the monster I fear…
I fear…

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina
To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
