I have been writing for about ten years and it has been a strange and humbling experience. I have never shared lyrics for any form of critique, or as a topic of discussion, so this is very new to me. I suppose I do share them every time I play someone a song, but I digress.
The original lyrics were more involved, especially in the verses, but the meter just didn't fit the music well.
I have no expectations at all, as I am confident in continuing to do my things in my weird little way, but all comments and criticisms are absolutely welcome.
Here is the recording. A vocal coach would tell you my annunciation and pronunciation were disgraceful. I just really don't care.
Here are the lyrics. Pardon any typos.
Still Dreaming
Distribution of the lie
Glamorous portrayal - empty eyes
They're set in time and glory
Peace, in time, your battle cry
The war you started was in dignity
Undulating greed breaking all your deeds
Ubiquity - falling in the sand
Amnesty - falling in the hands
Are you sleeping?
Don't let me wake you
Don't let me break you in
Are you dreaming?
Don't stop breathing
Don't let your eyes see out
Institution soaked in brine
Preservation of the scorned divine
Sickened by their kind
Ambivalence of faith refined
A man defined in tears, in love
Ubiquity - falling in the sand
Amnesty - falling in the hands
Are you sleeping?
Don't let me wake you
Don't let me break you in
Are you dreaming?
Don't stop breathing
Don't let your eyes see out
(Wake up)
Are you sleeping?
Don't let me wake you
Don't let me break you in
(Wake up)
Are you dreaming?
Don't stop breathing
Don't let your eyes see out
