Lost thoughts of a tormented soul (Una sera d'Ottobre)

The title for this composition comes from a poem by Emily Dickinson: "Hope is the thing with feathers."

Lyrics:

"Twilight encroaches upon the hives of limerence.

A man with a broken neck
Is sitting in the corner of the room.

He says: "The stars are made of bone."
He says: "The stars are made of bone."

But we must not worry.
We must not stop believing.

It will be better 
When tomorrow comes around."

Libretto:

"I'm swimming in the window.
God, let her in.
I'm swimming in the widow.
God, let me come in
To this flesh
System
Upside down.

Women 
Are the only 
Way in.

I'm scared, maman.
I'm so scared.

I'm swimming in you.

Listen now."

I'm Swimming In You

This song is already quite old, it was forgotten in Logic's files. It's from when I was learning to use Logic. Now I finally finished it.

lyrics

Was the winds of winter
Things should've ended
I waited in the twilight
You came into my life
You boosted my ego
An endorphin overflow
We both were looking good then
Never mind the bigger sin
All the people that were hurt
But no one said a word
You were my little secret
I was your biggest mistake

Big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake

But you sucked me in
It was all a lie
(your big mistake)
I thought we had a future shining bright
Your big mistake

Your big mistake
Your big mistake
When it ended it was a relief
It was all a big mistake

Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake

Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake
Your big mistake

up to here

Big Mistake

I'm presently working on a new music recording project.
