LYRICS:

“I’d give up my life. I’d give up my whole damn life. It’s carved into my bones, this ancient battle song. I won’t give up the fight ‘til I carry that dream home. 

Don’t wait for me. And if you hear those sirens come for me, will you please tell her I did everything I could? I played their games just like I should until they got to me. Oh, how they got to me. 

So pray for me. ‘Cause I don’t know what else I can believe. 

Because if God sees what they do to a man that looks like you, then what’s that say to you? What’s that say to me?

I’d give up my life. I’d give up my whole damn life. It’s carved into my bones, this ancient battle song. I won’t give up the fight ‘til I carry that dream home. 

I’d give up my life. I’d give up my whole damn life. It’s carved into my bones, the only thing I know. I won’t give up the fight ‘til I carry that dream. 

Damn at the age of 23 had my whole life ahead of me. My heart was nowhere near as pure as yours. ‘Cause even when they squeezed you what came out was pure beauty—like the fragrance of a rose on the heel that stomps it out. 

When will it be enough now? What will it take for them to finally hear you out right now?

It’s a little too late now. But I will amplify your echoes from that ground. 

I’d give up my life. I’d give up my whole damn life. It’s carved into my bones, this ancient battle song. I won’t give up the fight ‘til I carry that dream home. 

I’d give up my life. I’d give up my whole damn life. It’s carved into my bones, the only thing I know: I won’t give up the fight ‘til I carry that dream..

I’ll shut it all down.”

Something I was mucking around with years ago. Finally done something with it.

Crazy

elephant stone there she goes [cover]

I sing in another style on this one, and I use a home built condencer that I rarely use on vocals.  I wrote and recorded in a couple of days and I wanted it raw and just to get it out there..

Updated the file, remixed and remastered. If you miss the old version, I'll send it to you. To me, the mixed is improved quite a bit.

Funny when you play the song through your phone speakers and discover that the vocal reverb and overheads are too wet in the mix. I'm still an absolute amateur.

Lyrics.. 

See the world 

I'm so tired of feeling
ashamed of the things I said
If I  knew enough 
to just bite my lips

You wanted to see the world
You left me here alone
I'm so tired of second guessing
If we were right or wrong

I should have swallowed my bitter tears
That made me oh so sick
I should have done what I could 
to heal my brokeness 

You wanted to see the world
You left me here alone
I'm so tired of second guessing
If we were right or wrong

You wanted to see the world
You left me all alone
I'm so sick of second guessing
Was it right to let you go?

It Never Started Out This Way
