Hey anyone dumb enough to click this(jk jk),
If you've talked to me in the cbox much, you probably know that I sing/play guitar in my punk-ish band The Day After!!! and stuff. Anyway, we are leaving to record a full-length album in Chicago in a day or two and I thought I should post a song lyric to the most artistic community of friends I have. Probably won't mean much without the song for impact but hey, just think of it as poetry
(If you know me much, you also know that I have been going through a rough couple of months... this is sort of my way of coping with it. Not all these words are my own, a lot of them are the words of friends morphed into my rhythmic ideas. So... credit where credit is due...<3)
EXHALE
You always said
I would burn
Well look at me now
I'll wait to exhale,
Til silence meets the sky...
Look past all, the bright lights
at me, in becoming...
What I am...
I will keep,
This flame under wraps,
Keep it tame,
Keep it live...
Years and years of searching,
For the place you kept your heart,
Now it's in your throat...
I've had my deception
Now I've found the truth...
I'll wait to exhale,
Til the sound of your voice,
Reaches my ears,
Silence breaks the sky...
Look past all, the bright lights
at me, in becoming...
To them,
I am Just a name,
But You,
You see, a flame...
{spoken}[Become what I will, while you as a tree standing, rigid through the trials of time, as a Flame, I'll love from afar]{/spoken}
As the Phoenix burns,
You will rise from the ashes,
Rise from the ashes,
Refresh, Renew, Restore...
You are more than this,
I am more than this...
