Few poems I put music to, recorded on a laptop. Wanted to get an idea of what they might sound like, and to get opinions from other musicians.
always fear the worst
Nothing left to do but worry
or so it seems
What's important to me
Slips away so slowly
Or is it just me
Look the other way again
Tell me it's not me again
I know the drill
The way she's pulling on these heartstrings of mine
I haven't slept for nights
The questions floating throughout the night
Make me wonder what's right
This cage that holds the beats
Breaks down so quickly
Losing the light
Don't look in the mirror
You're holding a ghost
Did it ever live
Look the other way again
Tell me it's not me again
Lets play this game
The way she's pulling on these heartstrings of mine
I haven't slept for nights
The questions floating throughout the night
Make me wonder what's right
It feels like I just woke up from a dream
But there you are still next to me
There you are, still staring at me
And I see myself looking back at you
Why won't you just take my hand so tight
Let's end this perfect for more than a night
The way she's pulling on these heartstrings of mine
I haven't slept for nights
The questions floating throughout the night
Make me wonder what's right
It feels like I just woke up from a dream
But there you are still next to me
Look the other way again
What a good friend I am
Five reasons why I can tell
She walks among us, she's royalty
Ten reasons why she's the one
I don't want you to be on the run anymore
Nothing left to do but worry
or so it seems
What's important to me
Slips away so slowly
Or is it just me
Look the other way again
Tell me it's not me again
I know the drill
The way she's pulling on these heartstrings of mine
I haven't slept for nights
The questions floating throughout the night
Make me wonder what's right
This cage that holds the beats
Breaks down so quickly
Losing the light
Don't look in the mirror
You're holding a ghost
Did it ever live
Look the other way again
Tell me it's not me again
Lets play this game
The way she's pulling on these heartstrings of mine
I haven't slept for nights
The questions floating throughout the night
Make me wonder what's right
It feels like I just woke up from a dream
But there you are still next to me
There you are, still staring at me
And I see myself looking back at you
Why won't you just take my hand so tight
Let's end this perfect for more than a night
The way she's pulling on these heartstrings of mine
I haven't slept for nights
The questions floating throughout the night
Make me wonder what's right
It feels like I just woke up from a dream
But there you are still next to me
Look the other way again
What a good friend I am
Five reasons why I can tell
She walks among us, she's royalty
Ten reasons why she's the one
I don't want you to be on the run anymore
