Default New Song

Okay I've written a new song, and I will record it for posting here eventually, with acoustic rhythm guitar for anyone who wants to add layers to it.

I don't really have a song title for it yet, but here are the lyrics:


You can taste the times,
And feel the vibe
It’s bitter, shaking all the vines
Some take it in stride,
They’ve stronger stems, and hold,
Let the rest fall to become the wine
That blinds with illusions of grandeur
There view is grander still
From their dream homes atop of the hill
Which is beamed across the screen,
For all to see, want, buy,
It makes me want to scream…

But the irony is
Things aren’t as they seam
Don’t fall fool to
Sirens singing

Break down the door,
Knock down the wall,
Go see the world
Before you get too old.
Kick off your shoes,
And run away,
And find a place
Where you can finally escape.

To be yourself
Take your life down off the shelf
Break the vacuumed visqueen
Keeping you in-
Side by side we hide,
Here in the shadows of
Our dreams whose leaves are going dry
But gives us a view to the sunshine
Well, the sun is shining still,
We can fetch some water from the mill pond
And reach again for the sky
Like a chrysalis,
Emerge a butterfly

And the irony is
Things aren’t as they seam
Don’t let yourself fall fool to
Sirens singing

Find the strength
To let it go
You owe yourself
No baskets anymore
Turn softened feet
To hardened souls.
Live in a world
That has been neither bought nor sold.
