This is song is originally written and performed by System Of A Down.

When we were first given the assignment to recolor a track, I chose this song as a joke because it's something we sing as a joke in my house. I quickly found out that this song had a lot more substance than I originally thought. It has become one of my favorite projects!

Written by: Daron Malakian and Serj Tankian (System of a Down)
Arranged, Performed and Produced: Liv McCune
Instrumentation (piano, synth) contributions: Ryan McCune

Lyrics:

Last night I woke up crying
Cause the cigarette I smoked in my dream
Straight to my head, thought I was flying
Till the world pulled me back to my feet 

If only you could see me
Disappointed, been pulling my skin
There’s nothing quite like your hatred 
But your love your love your love

I’ve lied in my dreams
Just to wake up and fall back asleep
I woke it was day, close my eyes and pretend anyways

I’ve lied in my dreams 
Just to wake up and fall back in deep
I woke it was day, close your eyes and pretend anyways

It’s raining, why is it still raining

Lie down feel you on my back for just a little while 
I’ve lied in my dreams, it gets easier everytime
Rot teeth and no need to sleep, please just leave me be 
I woke it was day, haunt me in the ashtray 

If only you could see me

Cigarettes

decided to challenge myself to write, record, and release somethin in one day. this is the product :)


LYRICS:

I'm sitting on the floor
Nothing new and nothing changed
Honestly want so much more
My mind working circles while everything's unchanged
I'm certain that I'm that much closer to going insane

Aren't you scared? 
Aren't you scared?

I'm picking up the pieces
Nothing like they were before
I'm sick of seeing faces
Empty choirs singing about what we're fighting for
But pain that's wrapped in beauty almost always gets ignored

Aren't you scared?
Aren't you scared?
Aren't you scared?

Dim light
Stale air

I'm sitting on the floor
Nothing like I was before

Liv McCune
