First demo of the Elevator Division song "October" - in its raw, original form - just as I conceived it in my bedroom in the early hours of the morning one night in 2002. Photo art by Danny Joe Gibson http://dannyjoegibson.tumblr.com/

October (Original Demo)

LYRICS:
Please don't speak; I already know
And this is what you've feared the most
Look at me; don't be afraid
We were different then, but now we've been changed

Love makes all things new

Time will pass and our summers will be...
Memories under water
There's one thing that won't change between us
Look in my eyes, they will tell you...

Love makes all things new

Always remember

All Things New

LYRICS
The stars burn out and die. Their dust is the soil from which we came. We are children of fire and flame.

.....Wandering.

Our hearts are black and broken from breathing in the smoke of our shame. We are children...

We're looking for the true, beautiful light.

Place me upon the ashes and teach me to love without gain. We are your children...

We're looking for the true, beautiful light that makes our hearts burn bright.

Like iron in the furnace of your love, change us through our suffering and pain. Make us your children of fire and flame.

LYRICS:

You got a story in your mind. You were convinced...
I am guilty -- you decide, before you've seen the evidence.

You pick and choose the pieces. You make them fit.
There's nothing I can do or say to make any difference.

As you and your friends attack, [don't pretend that you can't see]
I struggle to catch my breath. [you're making it hard to breathe]
"Only the guilty ones fight back."

You can't say, "Let it go" with your hand still on my throat.

Your story quickly falls apart. Your friends repent.
But you still believe you're right -- a man of conviction.

"Why resist if you're innocent?" [don't pretend that you can't see]
I am fighting to catch my breath. [you're making it hard to breathe]
It only proves your suspicions...

You can't say, "Let it go" with your hand still on my throat.
Don't tell me to let it go. Get your hands off my throat.

You got a story in your mind...
