    This was a recording that I was working on one night. It's nowhere near perfect, and I haven't added any of the other instruments/vocals that I had in mind. In fact, I wasn't even happy with the existing vocal takes. But alas, the file ended up corrupted and all I have left of the hours work is a .wav file. So I thought I'd add it up here to mourn the dead project. Fear not though, I'll restart and finish it someday!

    Story Behind the Song
    Actually, I was pretty happy when I wrote this. Most of the lyrics are just meaningful nonsense, and little jokes, such as "To Die" followed by "Today" because I always thought it was funny how you say "today" with an Australian accent.

    Lyrics
    11/16 3:20 AM
    Last Revised: 11/16 3:20 AM

    So far
    nothing is going my way
    The world is still spinning through
    its own dismay

    So far
    that boulders are sand in my eyes
    I don't want to sink with the sunset and fade

    Rain washes the stains of
    life beats on my brain so
    don't know what to say
    don't know what to say to you today

    So far
    nothing is going away
    bruises and scars tell the stories
    that are running

    So far
    that words are just fog in my eyes
    with nothing to hold on to, I fade away

    [INTER]

    Cold christens the stains of
    life beats on my brain so
    I know what to say
    I know what to say to you:

    Take my pride its
    nothing to me
    take my soul its
    nothing to me
    give me color
    give me purpose
    give me reason
    give me reason
    to live
    to fly
    to fight
    to die
    today

    So far
    Nothing is coming my way
    but see the horizon stretching...stretching

    So far
    that boulders are sand in my eyes
    I know I won't sink with the sunset today
