(no subject)
So last night's show was pretty rad. Minus the fact that Antonio pegged me in the eye with his guitar in our last breakdown, I thought it went pretty well. We just need to practice tomorrow and get tight for Burden of a Day on Friday. I hope we sell our tickets so we can play Tuesday with Across Five Aprils still. If you want one, please tell me. Hmm so tour is getting so close and I'm worried and excited and everything. Anyway, I wrote this song that hopefully we can learn before we leave for tour and use it as a closer cause' it has the type of "epic" feel. Here's the lyrics:
I walk these streets alone
In search of a new ending
To a life I've never known
But I couldn't have said it better
(To the sky, I shall look to the sky)
Your grace will fall
Your grace will fall
Where would I be without your love (between the wasteland and the sky)
And your forgiving tounge (I'll hold my breath)
Where would I be without your love (between the wasteland and the sky)
And your forgiving tounge (I'll hold my breath)
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up (oh yeah)
This is where we stop and remenisce on old times (oh God)
If I should somehow let you slip,
And fall on to the floor,
Though it looks so far from here,
I saw we test it out for more
And if I let you go,
I'd ask to be heard out,
I'd give my final words,
And together we would shout:
"Let's stop the rising tide from
Swallowing us whole!"
Where would I be without your love (between the wasteland and the sky)
And your forgiving tounge (I'll hold my breath)
Where would I be without your love (between the wasteland and the sky)
And your forgiving tounge (I'll hold my breath)
Time will end us all
(Between the wasteland and the sky) (repeat many times)
And if love does prevail
What's our reason to fail
We tried our hardest to be brave
But it did nothing for us (nothing!)
Scars and bruises
From things we've been through
Raise those hands to the sky
And ask for forgiveness
And then you meet with the sky
At a table for two
And talk politics and sports
And all kinds of things
You'll wait patiently of course
Don't ask for too much
You're a beggar not a chooser,
Am I right? (am I right?!) Am I right about one thing?!
Then the meeting is done
And your time isn't up
You've got things left to do, kid
Let's get moving, come on!
But as for me
I've got my own set of problems
And I'll try and try
And try to resolve them
I have so much to waste
And just enough to risk
I'll keep moving and moving
And settling this
Slowly.
