Unfinished song idea from a few years ago

One of many very old and unfinished song ideas from 10+ years ago

slipstream

When everything else seems too hard
I can always pick up this here guitar
And sing to you
Even when you're not there

But even then, I still know
That our problems may never be solved
And even when you're here with me
Well, there they are too

Well they say "Life sucks and then you die!"
And goddamn, I think they might be right
But if it had to be true
Why does it have to suck without you?

Well maybe I always have known
You were an idea I was runnin' from
And yet somehow somethin'
I'm always runnin' to

They say "Life sucks and then you die!"
And goddamn, I think they might be right
But if it had to be true
Why does it have to suck...

Without you
Well, I'm always comin' back
But still without you
Well, at least you're stupid too
And I can fake some comfort in that fact
But it's still gonna suck, yeah

Well they say "Life sucks and then you die!"
And goddamn, I think they might be right
But if it has to be true
Oh does it have to suck
- cos it's still gonna suck -
But does it have to suck without you?

Planet of Dreams

Sometimes I'm struck by 
The overwhelming sadness of life
The hunger, the anger, the drive and the fears 
We all seem to share
But then I remember that beauty rests in the smallest of things
An evening sky, a timid smile, or a trusting glance

Now I know
This is how it's supposed to be
This is how
This is how it's supposed to be

Loved or abandoned
Someone else's heart can't define me
Struggle or failure, perceived success
It's all vanity 
Are you still breathing? 
Then maybe you're all that you're meant to be
Step outside of yourself 
It's so easy to see

And then you'll know
This is how it's supposed to be
This is how 
This is how it's supposed to be

Control will elude
Whether you're meager or majesty

And now I know
This is how it's supposed to be
This is how
This is how it's supposed to be

This Is How

Studio demo from long ago. Violin by Megan Cox, recording by Danielle DePalma. <3

Lyrics:

We're so small
And we're so wrong sometimes
All we know is no control
Oh no control 

But these days, I spend a lot of time just breathing
And if I can do that, I know I'll be fine

If we think we know anything, we're fools
Bein' played like a bow bends a string
And it just has to sing 

But these days, I spend a lot of time just breathing
And if I can do that, I know I'll be fine

In, out 
In, out 

Oh if I can do that, I know I'll be fine 
God if I can do that... I know I'll be fine

LYRICS:

THERE’S A SOUND OF A PRAYER AND IT’S BIG AS THE WORLD
AND WE KNOW IT, AND WE KNOW IT IS UP TO US
THERE’S A VOICE IN OUR HEADS, AND IT SHOUTS AND IT STAMPS AND ITS GROWING, AND ITS GROWING LIKE A MIGHTY OAK

THOUGH SOMETIMES IT GETS DARK 
AND OUR STREETS RUN WITH FEAR
RIVERS FLOWING, ALWAYS FLOWING, TO A BETTER DAY
TOE THE LINE, ON YOUR MARK, 
WE’LL GO FORWARD, THROUGH TEARS
DON’T YOU KNOW IT, DON’T YOU KNOW IT IS THE WORK OF OUR LIVES
AND THE DAWN WILL BREAK

WHO IS EVIL, WHO’S A HERO, GIVE US STRENGTH TO TELL
WE’RE ALL PEOPLE WITH A STORY, HOPE WE’RE REMEMBERED WELL

WE SHOUT OUT, WE PUSH BACK, AND THE LEGIONS AWAKE
AND YOU KNOW IT, AND YOU KNOW IT IS NOT TOO LATE
WE CAN’T FRET WHAT WE LACK, OR WHAT THEY’LL TRY TO TAKE 
DON’T YOU KNOW IT, YES I KNOW IT, OUR POWER IS GREAT

SO WE MARCH, YES WE MARCH, WITH OUR ARMS CLASPED AS ONE 
WE’LL KEEP GOING, WE’LL KEEP GOING DOWN THE LONG ROAD 
BUT OUR JOY, YES OUR JOY, RISES WITH EVERY SUN
WE ARE GROWING, OH WE’RE GROWING LIKE A MIGHTY OAK
AND THE CLOUDS WILL BREAK

WHO IS EVIL, WHO’S A HERO, GIVE US STRENGTH TO TELL
WE’RE ALL PEOPLE WITH A STORY, HOPE WE’RE REMEMBERED WELL

IS THERE MORE THAN THIS SKY AND OCEAN
SHOW ME MORE, WE LIVE, WE DIE, FEEL EMOTION
CAN WE STAND BACK AND TURN OUR HEADS
WITH ALL THE THINGS WE’VE HEARD AND READ
GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO STAND INSTEAD
AND FACE THE THINGS THAT WE ALL DREAD
ITS PEACEFUL NOW, BUT WILL WE WAKE
ON SHADOWS CREEPING OVER THE BREAKING WAVES 
THE WAVES, THE SAND, THE SKY, THE AIR, THIS BEAUTY. . . 

WHO IS EVIL, WHO’S A HERO, GIVE US STRENGTH TO TELL
WE’RE ALL PEOPLE WITH A STORY, HOPE WE’RE REMEMBERED WELL

HOPE WE’RE REMEMBERED.
