Prime Directive
By Rocco Desgres
I told all of my friends I got back together with you
And their reactions were the same
They didn’t believe me
Thought I was joking
Oh but I was joking
I was joking
Just joking
I told all of my friends the worst about you
And their opinions never changed
They only heard the secondhand story
They didn’t see the purpose of someone
Somehow my memory buried the first time we
Shared the same prime directive
The prime directive won’t change
The prime directive won’t change
I never told my friends what drew me to you
I only complained
Then when the time came
The final moment
I pushed you away
I pushed you away yeah
Why did I ever drive away
It’s not about my friends
It’s not about the long term
It’s not about the burden left upon her
It’s about the prime directive that we shared
Why would I ever drive away
Stopped in the breakdown lane
Last chance to stay
Decision made

Too Late To Change Your Mind
By Rocco Desgres
It’s too late to change your mind
It’s too late to change your mind
Look at all the progress we’ve made
Watch it all get thrown away
Cuz’ it’s too late to change your mind
Take my hand
Nothing ever could feel much better
The one thing in my life
Too bad I’m never satisfied
I threw things off the shelf
Cuz’’ there wasn’t room for nothing else
My passion made it hard to swallow
I thought I could never let you go
But it’s too late to change your mind
It’s too late to change your mind
It’s too late to change your mind
Take a look at my résumé
Will somebody care someday
It’s too late to change your mind
It’s too late to change your mind
Look at all the new friends you’ve made
Watch them turn and walk away
Yeah it’s true
Cuz’ it’s too late to change your mind
My priorities
Stole the best thing that happened to me
Juvenile it seemed
Everyone laughed but it was my dream
The opportunity
Grasped it’s mighty hands around me
And threw me on my knees
Now I’m screaming to be set free
But it’s too late to change your mind
It’s too late to change your mind
It’s too late to change your mind
I hold the phone in hesitation
Of losing my reputation
It’s too late to change your mind
It’s too late to change your mind
Listen to your heart and not your brain
I can’t get over the mistake I’ve made
Yeah it’s true
Now it’s too late to change your mind

Boy
By Rocco Desgres
I tried my best for her
I tried all I ever could
Still I hold on
I tried my best for her
I tried all I ever could
Still I hold on
Don’t try and stop me now
Don’t try and stop me now
I will
I gave the rest to her
I gave all I ever could
Still I hold on
I tried my best for her
I tried all I ever could
Still I hold on
Don’t try and stop me now
Don’t try to stop me now
I will

Bystander
By Rocco Desgres
Open minded bystander
Watch the world count your age
I’ve seen the two kinds of people that you create
Two hands that act like nine
Always having hell on her mind
She breaks a statue on the floor
As many pieces as apologies
Even though they lost the war they still wave their flag
Interpreting God as a reason for hate
They say we complain all the time
Then refused to follow the guidelines
They hear the words in the shepherds mouth and ingrain it in their minds
Never knowing they were wrong
Never knowing they were wrong
But the choice that you made will be ingrained for generations
Never knowing they were wrong
Never knowing they were wrong
But the way that you were raised will be ingrained for generations

Hind Legs
By Rocco Desgres
I wish you would sleep with me
For one more night
Seems I’ve been taking you for granted again
Felt my new skin in my heart grow
Waited too long to hold you close
No good news for me
I can’t speak
You build the nest I need
As the moment slipped away
I look at all the mistakes we’ve made
Waiting for time to start again
I look ahead and lose a friend
There’s no safe space
Without hind legs
I want to cover my face

Rocco Desgres Northampton, Massachusetts
Hello I'm Rocco Desgres. Singer and Synthesizer player of Moving Day. All of these songs are recorded with tapes on damaged tape players. I use totally or mostly analogue equipment. Music sounds way better when it's ripped apart into an uncountable amount of pieces and put back together ...right? Which is ironic because this platform is digital. ... more
