Name: Nicholas Stephen DeMarco

Age: 27

Height: 5'8"

Weight: 165lbs.

Occupation: singer/songwriter, student

Love and attraction

Its like sex and passion

Its like joy and sadness

Its like two ends of a spectrum

Are you a friend or a lover

Now pick one or the other.

A conversation between two Nicks...

Nick D: Can you believe that?

Nick M: I don't know what to say.

Nick D: But hey, I did that shit all the time back in the day, right?

Nick M: Oh yeah, definitely. Hell, you raped me.

Nick D: I did? I don't remember. It was probably awesome.

Nick M: Well for you maybe. I'm tender to the touch.

Nick D: Still, I forgive her.

Nick M: I don't know how you can.

Nick D: Hey, its the least I can do.

I look out into the heavens, and I still see you, streaking across the stratosphere

Something within you is different, changed by things you blame me for

No one made you change but you nightingale

This phoenix is reborn, and shall fly again, with or without you

I write songs that can change the world

I write words that make people listen

This is my time now

You cannot take it from me

Enjoy what you call bliss

The rest of us call it misery, denial, perhaps a slow death.
