Raw vocal cover of Chevelle's song "Bend The Bracket" recorded on a Zoom H6. Just one take on this song, certainly more to come. Need to master the guitar next.

Chevelle's "Bend The Bracket" RAW Vocal Cover v.1 -- 2015/3/10

Roses are violet,
reds are blue,
the world is broken,
and no one knows what to do.

So we cling to bullshit,
labels and creeds,
project our dogma,
while denying our needs.

We deny the reality,
everything's fine.
Death by chocolate,
be my valentine.

I'm so happy,
I could just puke.
There is no sorrow,
our culture can't nuke.

Fall in love,
and hold on tight.
The world is your oyster,
sleep through the night.

But when you wake up,
remember to try,
ever so slightly,
to figure out why.

There's more to reality,
than being content.
We are the vessels,
of our lives being spent.

We ache and cry,
and fight with ambition,
then surrender to states,
of zombie cognition.

Whatever happened,
to 'once upon a time'?
It's now a desaturated,
plagiaristic crime.

Everything is,
exactly how it's been.
Centuries on repeat,
while new ones begin.

We're in love with a world,
pulled over our eyes.
We don't dare lift the veil,
and ruin the disguise.

This romance is life,
we wholly believe.
Any other truth,
would simply deceive.

So get thee wasted,
if that's all there is.
It's not as though,
life ends with a quiz.

We do what we want,
as we've done in the past.
What difference does it make,
if none of it will last?

Light up the fire,
and let's all dance around,
till the sea rises up.
Reality drowned.

If love is the answer,
there never was a question,
and our very existence,
was only a suggestion.

Live like a dream,
coming into fruition.
Explode like a star,
after completing its mission.

Keep shining that light,
that dwells within,
for all to see,
the world beneath your skin.

Now and forever,
are surely the same.
Time is not linear,
time is not a game.

We suffer to be here,
only to play,
inside our sandbox,
while life fades away.
