Liner Notes

I'm not really too sure what to say about this song. It goes all over the place and its a bit edgier than what I'm used to. I did find myself playing guitar again on this one for another 12 seconds, HOWEVER it didn't take me 40 minutes to record this time so that's progress lol.

Also, the title for this song is a bit of a WIP so if you think of something cool please let me know in the comments. Enjoy!

Lyrics

And on that late November night
I finally lost the will to fight
Smiling ear to ear you told me everything I knew

Yearning for a quick descent
As I question still my true intent
We pledge ourselves to paths laid untrue

Here you and I lie as friends
Here we lie now close as friends not strangers

Turning from the past I knew
I had always dreamt and saw it through
But now the feeling eats away inside

Abandonment and loss of faith
I snap my head and jolt awake
Realization hurls me into hell

Here we are as friends, not strangers
Here we lie as friends, not strangers

Don’t say you love me now
What are you supposed to be?
I can’t even look at you
My reflection’s all I see
So fuck you, I hate you
Pack your things and leave
Take what’s a part of you
That once belonged to me

Spots of snow reflect the lights
As I walk alone these streets of night
Sobbing prayers and songs lost on the wind

Suddenly the Spirit sings
And so profound the warmth it brings
Ensures that guilt surrenders to reprieve

Here you are now, just a man
Here you are now as a man

Beautiful flow and words. Exciting and intriguing music. You sing so well. I have trouble understanding the story, but I thinks it’s about someone in a relationship that lacks integrity, who feels deeply guilty but then realizes he’s being human. So a healing message. I hope I’m not totally out to lunch. An alternative title could be “Reprieve.”

Nice!!! I love how free you are with the phrasing.
