Orthogonal

Orthogonal:
Lyrics: me
Prompt: blues rock, drums (drum set), emotional, female vocalist, singer/songwriter,

[verse 1]
Of everything I've said and done.
You were the first and only one.
To quell the ever present ache.
First the apple, then the snake.

[chorus]
She said that pants were optional!
So I put the weapon in my arsenal.
She had me feeling emotional.
All the options were orthogonal.

Please just leave me alone.
But don't forget to call me on the phone.
[Bridge]

[verse 2]
A reminder to the raven:
taking flight and branded craven.
If you were to open your beak,
You'd drop the evidence you seek.

[Pre-Chorus]
On second thought, I ditched the pants.
Won't you give me one more chance?
sinking into the glistening lake.
I pray the mud my soul to take.

[chorus variation]
She said that pants were optional!
So I put the weapon in my arsenal.
She had me feeling emotional.
All the options were orthogonal.

Please just leave me alone.
But don't forget to call me on the phone.

[verse 4]
Well I'm all on my own now.
Don't even quite remember how.
Repose on a mattress on the floor
Whatever she wanted I want more.

[verse 5]
Just a minute to talk to you!
I'll promise all my lies are true.
Just never look under the bed.
Suspend your disbelief instead.
[outro]
