Music and Lyrics by Daniel Kikkert & Emily Ruth


I must confess there is something that must leave my chest
Held without hands yet like shackles I cannot bend
I need someone to know

Between me and you and the wall
Would you stay with me as I leave my soul open
And bare it all  knowing there’s nothing to catch my fall?
Just me, you and the wall

I must admit it’s not easy for me to say this
I don’t have the words still I know that I must be heard
I’ve got to let go

Between Me & You & The Wall (draft 0)

"A vagrant with a feckless heart
Preparing to depart again
Eyes are strained upon the dark
Ever searching out the stars

This darkling world a wilderness
And we are doomed to wander it

Stumbling listless, roaming blind
By a legend ill defined
The firmament that separates
Is firmer than his trust so desolate

This darkling world a wilderness
And we are doomed to wander it"

wander

"Dreams die all the time
But I'm too young to have none left
I'm not inspired, I'm just resigned
Afraid of what's ahead
Don't bother me as I retreat
To the corner of my skull
And ill at ease, in vacant dreams
I'll fall off the edge

I'll fall off the edge
I'll fall off the edge

I didn't notice my ceiling
Closing on me I was staring at my floor
I know it's only a feeling
But it's telling me that there is nothing more

The apparition of my ambition
Leaves me in the fog
He says "Farewell" and I can tell
This is our final talk
The mournful mist shrouds all but this
One sure and solid aim

Death awaits us all
Death awaits us all

I didn't notice my ceiling
Closing on me I was staring at my floor
I know it's only a feeling
But it's telling me that there is nothing more"

Threw open GarageBand for the first time in about half a year today, and this was the result. Nice to get a demo fired off before the year is over :)

A song for Easter.

"When death's penumbra swallows up
Every living light
Its fleshless fingers groping out
Beyond the bounds of night
I strain to hear on sighing winds 
Of hope beyond my sight
But all is still and silent 
Save the carrion fowl's flight
These heralds of Hades bring his boast
The taunt of death they sing
'Can you not see my victory?
Do you not feel my sting?' 

Death is not the last word"

the last word

Every ending's the beginning
Of the same old ending
And I'm running, no displacement
Only distance, my existence
Such persistence in letting you down again
Perhaps it's time...
But you won't let me go

Between Me & You & The Wall (draft 0)
