an older origional

I recorded this a while back. it's a poor quality recording....i had been working on the sound for about an hour and this is the best i could get with my little webcam....i even got in the corner and put a mattress behind me....lol...but this is the best that i could get. the vocals are okay...i was kinda burnt out by this recording.....but....here it is....

it's a dark song.....the first song i ever wrote actually. took me like, five minutes....wish that they all came out that way.....    i got some work to do with it....it needs a bridge.....i'm open to ideas...lol.....i'm thinking about playing the chord progression backwards to this so that it affords for more melody.

anyway......it is a dark song....but hey.....it's honest.

much love,

Misty

oh yeah....it gets loud at the end.......so....it may be good to adjust your volume.....*smile*

Running running around in circles. Over, your'e out of time.

The only thing that keeps you from your dream is you can't keep it inside your mind

Trying hard to catch my breath so dark that i can't see

so i fall on the ground below and take the skin off of both my knees.

 

All these luxuries crash around us leaving craters in the ground.

fat cat sits back and laughs and he'll watch it all burn down.

Where you think your'e gonna run to if everyone around you goes mad?

you think your'e saving up for your rainy day, but you eat up everything you have.

 

chorus:

Can't you see this is not the end.

A circle closes at the point that it began.

You say nothing changes, I say nothing stays the same.

then you tell me that it's always been this way.

 

You've taken so much in your life that nothing works for you anymore.

Look inside to find yourself, but you forgot what you were looking for.

Now your'e following anyone who can tell you where you went wrong.

Buy into anything just to feel like you belong.

 

chorus.

 

Everyone here has floated or drowned. Now they've built towers on the shore.

While we try to peice our lives together like crystal shattered on the floor.

You swallow your anger and then you spit out your seeds

that very soon take root in the ground and make the hate on which your children feed.

 

chorus.

 

 

 

told ya it was dark........*sigh*........*smile*

with love and hope for the new paradigm.

Misty

Hi Misty,

I love the lyrics. What a beautiful song.

Love,
Andrey.

thanks....it's funny though, this is the ONLY song that noone will record with me. I go into the studio with it and my co-musicians say...''nope, too dark''  

lol....it's not all happy, ya know......i feel like it's relevant.....*smile*

thanks for the feedback.
