My first time uploading anything since the winter during the school-year. I think it sounds better, because my basement's more live than my dorm room was.
This is me coming back to the Electric world after discovering EZDrummer. Take a look, take a listen, be on your toes. That was a FUN one! { Tags : Cinnamon, Girl, Neil, Young, The, Forgotten, Monkey, Cover }
Tried to fly away on paper wings
That melt in the sun and burn in the rain
Try to run away on thin ice
Watch it break, right in front of my eyes
I couldn't see through those heartless lies
But I could feel a core of ice
Tried so hard to shed my skin
But I never will, no I never will
I could bring you fire, and shelter from the rain
But you would burn it down, and make me build again
I could guard your home, and set your mind at ease
Tie me to a stone and imprison me in pain
Denounce me as a turncoat, you prosecute my heart
cast me to the pit, so I can do my part
There I'll build my wings, And stealthily escape
only to be helpless as the story's told again
I couldn't see through those heartless lies
But I could feel a core of ice
Tried so hard to harden my skin
But I never will, no I never will
He stands there, a loaner
eyes, darting to and fro,
away from me, and away from you
focus, intent nonchalant, carrying a thought
that flies away, from a vacant mind
Who brought him, who knows him?
Its certainly not me, a traitor, a beggar thunder in his eyes,
and rubber on his ears
fists clenched, hair raised,
try to disengage
A statue, a gargoyle
0r a stationary fire
Thats burning, thats scarring
that's consuming all inside
He's breathing, he's moving
But I've never seen the same before
Who brought him, who knows him?
Its certainly not me, a traitor, a beggar
with thunder in his eyes,
and rubber on his ears
fists clenched, hair raised,
try to disengage
Cursed to know this world
In a silent way
feel the mind grow
as the body decays
Beauty all around
in its timeless dance
Is the meaning deeper
is it out of our hand?
This is the musician thats from our near future
created within this system of mine
This is the musician straight from my computer
created with just one purpose in mind
To still the air and seize the wind
silence the thunderous applause
To calm the waves and cure the sting
from broken branches and broken dreams
I know you, you'll fight it
and then you'll learn to love it
submit your life to fall in line with mine
I know you, you hate me
and yet you won't forget me
The castle walls are much to tall to tear down
Conceive it, control us
with comfort as our focus
A velvet glove conceals an iron fist
Like penguins we live and
the glass distorts our freedom
a grand illusion that we try to resist
they still the air and seize the wind
bask in the thunderous applause
incite the waves and cause the sting
of broken branches and broken dreams
As you wander while you lie in bed
with all those evil thoughts in your head
Well I used to have them too
As you wander while you lie in bed
with all those evil thoughts in your head
Well I used to have them too
This is the musician observed as a born loser
created within my cavernous mind
This is the musician thats from our near future
created with just one purpose in mind
This is the musician thats from our near future
created within this system of mine
This is the musician straight from my computer
created with just one purpose in mind
To still the air and seize the wind
silence the thunderous applause
To calm the waves and cure the sting
from broken branches and broken dreams
I know you, you'll fight it
and then you'll learn to love it
submit your life to fall in line with mine
I know you, you hate me
and yet you won't forget me
The castle walls are much to tall to tear down
Conceive it, control us
with comfort as our focus
A velvet glove conceals an iron fist
Like penguins we live and
the glass distorts our freedom
a grand illusion that we try to resist
they still the air and seize the wind
bask in the thunderous applause
incite the waves and cause the sting
of broken branches and broken dreams
And you wander while you lie in bed
with all those evil thoughts in your head
Well I used to have them too
This is the musician observed as a born loser
created within my cavernous mind
This is the musician thats from our near future

He calls it honor that he wears on his chest
like a badge, like a flag I'd never seen before
He calls it courage that he wears round his neck
like a misshapen cross that will heal no more
In sanctuary or a sanitarium
wait for the day when my ship will come
And in my faulty and failing wisdom
I will wait for its return
gold tie and suit that he calls his revenge
like a noose not cut loose from the hanging man
a leather jacket that he calls his escape
from the fate falling late from a luckless hand
And in your honor he would gladly fight
be amused, be abused, and lay down his life
And for your honor he would gladly die
if the truth was his youth and he lived a lie
My dear friend,
I am wrong
so I sing this song
for you
You are right
I am wrong
so I sing this song
for you
I heard the only thing we had to fear
was the throw of the dice
Not bombs falling from the heavens
Just the threat would suffice
I won't listen
to your persuading tongue
words so sweetly
disguise the acrid
undertones
Time in the hands of the immortals
a vision spins round my head
Just like a flame on the horizon
turns from green to red
From red to black, and back to green
a grin that stretches ear to ear
Its not the bombs, the bullets that I fear
but something that freezes us all
I won't listen
to your chastising tongue
sticks and stones will break my bones
but words so caustic
help no one
If we could only break free
break those chains of doubt and fear
or if you trusted me
and understood the things I see
or if you listened hard
and heard the sound of a soft alarm
or just the thunder from afar
Just like a flame on the horizon
turns from green to red
Its not the bombs, the bullets that I fear
but what will follow them, instead
And I wonder
maybe you were right
pull the glass shards from my eyes
and say goodnight
