Thirteenth song for the song-a-week challenge. It's a bit sloppy but simple.

You're already in bed
I've heard you snore a hundred times
I'm not sure where you go
when you drift away at night

I'm sleeping on your side
A pillow hugging your body
I feel like a boy in high school
and you don't even know

but I
I don't want this to end
No I
I don't want this to end

I've slipped away from help
ducked out under open arms
a single thread tied to you
wrapped around your finger

But I
I don't want this to end   
No I
I don't want this to end


A Single Thread

Sunday Morning - (Maroon Five cover)

Week 16: as part of the Reddit r/songaweek challenge

I finally got an iPhone the other day, and I felt so overwhelmed by how much power I now had access to at my fingertips. Then, I wrote this song.

A restless wanderer
Is all that I have ever been
I'm fully prepared to throw my phone against the nearest wall
But there's no shelter for miles

I'm lost, I'll admit it
I've fallen victim to society once again
and I'm embracing every single minute like it's my last day on earth

(Chorus)
And I'm sorry that nothing ever really turned out your way
And I'm sorry that nothing here is ever really here to stay
But you should know that half the time, no one gives a damn
It's all good in the master plan

Technological Darwinism

Twenty-first song for the song-a-week challenge 2014.

Cardinal Song

Holding my own hangman’s rope
Nope, just holding my own

Sweating at the foot of the skyline
Squinting my eyes into the bright night
Staging a show for the satellites
In an implied assembly
So it’s a song for the unseen
And I’m projecting it proudly
The strength in my voice from the get-go
Diminished returns with each echo
Life as a slow decrescendo 
Hit the high note and then coast

Better off in a pine wood box
No I’m not, I’m just better off

And attempting to get my point across by
Expending the strength that I saved up
From a decade and change as a lame duck
Euphoric then drained in the ensuing rush
Not that I want to gloss over
The arc for the eventual smolder
But it’s not easy to stave off the closer
It’ll argue the law to the letter
But the goal was never “forever”
Life as the rests in the measures
Sometimes the less, the better 

But what if it’s not a mistake
To engage in the debate?
Then again, what if it is?
If it’s a monolith and everything’s determinist 
Then that’s a weight off of my ribs
And I might even actually live
Comfortable and prosperous
In the warm hug of indifference 

I see the scythe as it’s coming for me
No, actually, I finally just see

Munny Right

But she's not you
And it's not true,
And you're right there
And I can see through

It doesn't take a lot
To make you think that
You're in love

No it doesn't take a lot,
To make you think that you're in love,

Just the right place
And the the right time
And a few drinks
And the the right light

And the right words,
At the right time,
And they stay there,
Like a splinter in your mind

But she's not you
No she's not you,
But she's right there,
And I can see through

It doesn't take a lot
To make you think that
You're in love

No it didnt take a lot,
To make you me think
that I was in love,

Just the right place
And the the right time
And a few drinks
And the the right light

And the right words,
At the right time,
And they stay there,
Like a splinter in my mind

No it didnt take a lot,
To make you me think
that I was in love,

No it didnt take a lot,
To make you me think
that I was in love,

Just the right place
And the the right time
And a few drinks
And the the right light

Just the right place
And the the right time
And a few drinks
And the the right light

And the right words,
At the right time,
And they stay there,
Like a splinter...

Like a splinter in my mind

But she's not you
