FYI your link in your SWU post pulls up a different song.  I really like the dark tone in your song - perfect prosody for these lyrics.

WOW man the lyrics are incredible here.  Talk about "painting a picture".  wow.  Vivid.  I see "blood red" here.

ya love the Western feel here and great word choices. I had to look up maw ha. Cool!

Killer opening line (no pun intended), and then I dig how you up it more with the introduction of the “other guy”. Nice job!

Cool tune Bro. To add a little variety, you might explore incorporating that final chord progression earlier in the song or for a chorus

Wow, what an amazing picture of death!  Your writing is so full if fascinating imagery.  Thanks for sharing! :)

Oh the rivers rising 
oh the light is dying
oh my faith is trying
When does it end

laying in my bed, my sins right there beside me
morals playing dead, i know freedoms long behind me
id never imagine this thing playing in a dream
when i wake up from it, i could still feel her steam

Oh the rivers rising 
oh the light is dying
oh my faith is trying
When does it end

praying for the day, my fears will subside me
struggles still remain, i cant even hide it
ill reimagine every awful dreaded scene
flash before my eyes while the river bursts the seams

Oh the rivers rising 
oh the light is dying
oh my faith is trying
When does it end

MAJOR CHORDS G, C, G, D
oh well you cant say i never tried
the river rose and i climbed so high
then i dove down stream and it took me for a ride
where i end up is my next try
as long as i manage to stay dry
there aint no use fighting a damn river

The River

When does it end?  My love
When the stars come crashing down
On our heads?

When does it end? My love
With the credits rolling down
Overhead?

oooooooh oooooh

When does it start, our love?
When we forgive with our hears
And our heads

When does it start, our love? 
When we take a step apart
To clear our heads

Oooooooh oooooh

When It Does End

Don't Tell Me (I Already Know)

Laughing At Your Pain
Music and Words by Mark Magram (2023)

when you gave away the last of what you had and nothing else remains
And it feels like you've been dealt a losing hand in an arbitrary game
The world will keep on spinning round
Till only memories remain and you're laughing at your pain
Ooh

When you put your trust in those who did you wrong
And you realize youve been blind
And the world you built around you has moved on
And you were left behind
The world will keep on spinning round
And you can't avoid the change
You'll be swept out of the rain
Youll see the sun again

Ahh

The world will keep on spinning round
It will never stay the same
And thats the secret of the game
You'll be laughing at your pain in the end

Laughing At Your Pain

Blood on the ground from the round in my chest
Sun sinking down
Day comes to die in the west 
The maw of the night open wide to ingest
Her vittles of sin, sorrow and regret
If you think this is bad you should see the other guy 
I'm now convinced I've got God on my side
A room in a ten story castle in the sky 
Neither prayer for life, no, nor fear of dying 
What precious little good they may do
When the whole of your debt comes due 

Dead and Debtor

The Golden Age Of Paper Air Travel

Jason and Mike sit down for a one and yet again blur the line between comedy, life, sexuality, and being human. 

Hosted by Jason Ellis and Michael Catherwood

High and Dry Episode 15: Shit Gets Real Pt. II

BRACKET EPISODE!!! Jason and Katie get to argue over who the coolest person over 70 is, and it's amazing. Jason shares what he wants in life and what it feels like to not have it yet and Mike comes to the conclusion that he'd probably go black if he was into dudes.
