Musically inspired by two of my favorite songs: "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" by Wilco,  and "Hyperballad" by Bjork. So come for the melancholy, stay for the dance party. Seriously, the end is way different than the beginning :)

Lyrics:
Outcast onto water
Hook sinking away
Rod and reel follow

Come to rest with me
Maybe not tomorrow
How long descending leagues
Toddling like snow of new debris

The bottom of the deepest lake is home

And I am one of many 
Forgotten megafauna
I'm beyond your journey
And I am one of many 
Forgotten megafauna
I am one of many

Artifacts are dressing
Velvet forest gown
And decomposing poems

A cemetery living
Museum in suspension
Monuments of autumn’s lost intentions

And the bottom of the deepest lake is home
And the bottom of the deepest lake is home

The rib cage of a former
Giant scraping sky
Shedding bricks and mortars

Underneath the severed
Seven forty seven
Wings of wax and feather
Steel dreams of history collide

And I am one of many 
Forgotten megafauna
I'm beyond your journey

I was one of many

One of Many

Friendship Lane Songwriting Club: Contribution #3

The long walk home
Thinking about what she said
Sure I can
Only take a couple days
Tape that song off the radio
It might have been a simple task
It might have been the way she asked

Our last day alone 
I came in with some friends of mine
We both smiled the moment that I caught her eye
How'd I know she'd be there that night?
It might have been a simple task
It might have been the way I asked

All I've lost and found
Copied from the phonograph
Songs we knew by heart
Forgotten in the aftermath
But in the liner notes
Of the cassette I wrote
The things I couldn't say


Half our lives
We're fragile as a butterfly
You find a friend
You're lucky if you say goodbye
But life don't begin or end in hospitals
It might just a simple task
It might be in the way you ask

All I've lost and found
Copied from the phonograph
Songs we knew by heart
Forgotten in the aftermath
But in the liner notes
Of the cassette I wrote
The things I couldn't say

Don't turn off the car
I just want to hear this song
Me and mom used to listen to this song
Late at night strung out on the telephone
You know it was before your time
You were just a twinkle in my eye

A Simple Task (Rough Draft)

20 SECONDS OF BEACH KEYS

You won't catch your perfect stranger
If you can't match the state I'm in
Pour a cold glass of Pennsylvania 
Turn the lights off in Tennessee
The old rules will not be changed now
Sunk cost in the wishing well
All we have is domestic vintage
You can't argue with what's on sale

You want it all
You want to taste that cola too
You want to shake it like a can of soda
Make my face all sticky and wet
Sticky and wet

You smile like the Mona Lisa
Cuz you know that I can't complain
The mistakes that were made before you
Stain the towel that's around your waist

You want it all
You want to taste that cola too
You want to shake it like a can of soda
Make my face all sticky and wet
Sticky and wet

The blindfold protects your ego
And we both choose the second sin
We take what the owners give us
And say thanks for the holy shit

You want it all
You want to taste that cola too
You want to shake it like a can of soda
Make my face all sticky and wet
Sticky and wet

why is the champion not the one i want?
every ppv is like a publicity stunt
why won't they listen to the fans (to the fans)
they're nothing w/o us so give us what we want
more big dives, more unprotected chair shots
more thumbtacks, more chugging cans of beer spots
why can't everything be as amazing as the internet?
WHY CAN'T EVERYTHING BE AS AMAZING AS THE INTERNET?

i could do a better job
i should be the booker
i could do a better job...
throw a little belt on myself
