FAWM challenge #4 - Rock Ballad - Blood Moon (demo)

You have the life that you see in the clouds
You watch the sun rise and set from the lakes you've found
And if your eyes begin to glaze over now
You can always stargaze someplace where you're safe and sound

So deep in the grove where you open up
Don't waste away with a half filled cup
In riverbeds, are you lonely?
Well come out and play in your own way

The weight of world seems so heavy now
Lighten the load, your dirty laundry
Down the mountain side, you see a new face
Will you keep it alive and share your story?

Well it's time to get away, and shed those layers that keep you enslaved
You lie awake, and wrestle with those anxiety bears that bear witness
To all your storms, I can relate, well fuck that noise and celebrate
Now get stoked, hell yeah, this is the time for you to make your stand

You will weather this storm

This tune started life as a collaboration between Tom Elliot (TC Elliot)'s lyrics and my music during the 50/90 Challenge. The song has morphed a bit since then, but it still shares that original essence. I am grateful to Tom for his part in bringing this song to life.

Chasing The Sun

She said, "I don't love you, I can't, I've tried."
She's been crying for days and her tears haven't dried
It's so sad with your heart on the run
Falling out of love and chasing the sun

And I chase the wandering sun in her westward track
Cut across the woods and I'm never coming back
If I travel at a walk or at a dead run
Forever chasing the westward sun
Chasing the sun

I'd give it all up for my one true love
But I can't have the one I've been thinking of
I'll be all right or so I say
Gotta hit the road or the sun'll get away

And I chase the wandering sun in her westward track
Cut across the woods and I'm never coming back
If I travel at a walk or at a dead run
Forever chasing the westward sun
Chasing the sun


I say when I'm gone I will never return
But I keep learning steel bridges won't burn
And the lessons I've learned have come undone
Message to the moon don't go chasing the sun

And I chase the wandering sun in her westward track
Cut across the woods and I'm never coming back
If I travel at a walk or at a dead run
Forever chasing the westward sun
Chasing the sun

Let Me Out
David Russell Perez
Rusty Perez 11/21/2020

v1
Here in solitary silence
trapped inside this cell
sentence signed forever 
imprisoned by myself
nothing but time
imprisoned by myself


v2
GREY WALLS surround me
a lover's arms so tight
breath that burns deep in my chest 
bottled up inside

 pc
Better angels told me not to walk outside the lines
But i sware that I was taking what was mine
 Sweeter spirits singing lead me through the fire
So many tried to help me save my life

chorus
Let me out I've committed no sin
let me out of the hell I'm in
I've committed no crime
there's no wrong in what I've done 
So let me out
I've committed no sin 
there's no crime in what I've done 
So let me out


v3
living in a secret
and lies become the truth
meaningless seduction 
difference is a truce
between who I am
and who i used to be

v4
Close my eyes for ever
and hold my breath and prey
trading life for living
The consequence I'll pay

 pc
Better angels told me not to walk outside the lines
But i sware that I was taking what was mine
 Sweeter spirits singing lead me through the fire
So many tried to help me save my life
chorus
Let me out I've committed no sin
let me out of the hell I'm in
I've committed no crime
there's no wrong in what I've done 
So let me out
I've committed no sin 
there's no crime in what I've done 
So let me out
