Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

Missing Links

Posted October 26, 2002 5:28pm ET

Through these shadows you’ve always heard their voices
Their strange and crystal notions and the choices
And it was never how you meant to be
It never went this way
And the sights that you will never see
The words you cannot say
Meet within the corners of your heart

These missing links
They hold you down
Keep you from the songs
You’d love to sing
These missing links
They hold you down
Silencing the messages
You bring

In the darkness you always hear them calling
Creeping and crawling and gnawing and pawing
For the life that they will never live
You always meant so well
The gifts that they will never give
The ringing funeral bell
Closes the final page of wasted life

These missing links
They hold you down
Keep you from the songs
You’d love to sing
These missing links
They hold you down
Silencing the messages
You bring

Through the shadows you’ve always heard their voices
Their strange and crystal notions and the choices
And it was never how you meant to be
It never went this way
And the sights that you will never see
The words you cannot say
Meet within the corners…

Of broken hearts

Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.
