Have You Seen My Shadow? (Day 11 of 30 Day Song Challenge)

Collage

Day 11 for the #PMP30DaySongChallenge

Vibe: somber nostalgic miss you something delicate emotional possibly romantic some happyness

Concepts: Memories that won’t sit still — they shimmer, change, haunt

Themes: miss someons, society expects you to do certain things, follow certain paths, but in a way I feel the older I get the younger I try to be in search of an innocence and magic born from youth and not overthinking, 

[Verse 1]
People saying I’m immature, other people getting ahead, getting high paying jobs, buying houses
Fmaj7    C     G     Fmaj7    C     G
Harry dropped $100 grand, on the house with shutters like they planned
A new baby and a happy wife, seems like they’re building a lovely life
I saw the pictures they shared, not even one blemish on their skin
If I could be them I would, maybe, at least I know my finger like them, but I keep

[Chorus]
C      G      Fmaj7
Moving backwards, like the hats that I wear
Looking at before not, happily ever after
I am proper knackered from dollars and disasters
Shoot me from the rafters and watch my ashes scatter backwards

[Transition]
Csus2      Fmaj7                
[Verse 2]
Missing someone, in search of what we had in the beginning, out of grief. Feeling unsure if the past is real or romanticized — but clinging anyway
Fmaj7    C     G     Fmaj7    C     G
We’ve fallen into a rut, I miss you like my favorite song, that I won’t dare to touch
Fmaj7    C     G     Fmaj7    C     F (High)  G
How real, I don’t know, but I think nothing feels as sweet as that first ‘hello’
Mmmm, we’ve weathered the storm, we’re heading towards golden money
You’ll be my bride I know. But will you still be smiling when you notice the boat is slowly 

[Chorus]
C      G      Fmaj7
Moving backwards, like the hats that I wear
Looking at before not, happily ever afterr
I am proper knackered from dollars and disasters
Shoot me from the rafters and watch me scatter backwards

[Transition]
Csus2      Fmaj7                

[Verse 3]
Missing my self, in search of what I had in the beginning, who I was before the masks, out of hope
Fmaj7    C     G     Fmaj7    C     G
Who was I before? The masks that I put on to be ignored
Sometimes they let me in, and with my wooden smile I would grin
The dress me up in laurels, itchy things that’d make my neck sting
My taste buds have matured, you’re right, so I find the nearest door, finally

[Chorus]
C      G      Fmaj7
Moving backwards, like the hats that I wear
Happier before not, happily ever after
I am proper knackered from dollars and disasters
Shoot me from the rafters and watch my ashes scatter backwards

Moving Backwards (Day 12 of 30 Day Song Challenge)

12 - Am:F Progression

Happy Friday the 13th! Day 13 of the #PMP30DaySongChallenge.

Key of Cm
Don’t Befriend the Dead

Theme: Afraid to befriend the dead because they have different risk tolerances. Don’t waste time with people who aren’t living.

Verse Ideation: 
Risk taking, they’re very risky, no repercussions
They’re boring
They’re eternally restless vigilance, they don’t dream

Cm    G7    Ab    G
[Verse]
Casper and I went out for drinks
He talked my ear off. Showed me pictures of his kids. Talked about stress at work. And road construction. And a funny bruise he found on his shin. And pictures of his dog, wearing a costume. And celebrities that have died. And didn’t really let me get a word in. Makes me want to die.

[Pre-chorus hook]
Just like him

[Chorus]
Don’t befriend the dead. They’re disembodied, they’ve lost their head.
Don’t befriend the dead. They’ve got a different a notion about what living means.


Don't Befriend the Dead

DAY 14 (30 Day Song Challenge)

The boot that bites...

LYRICS
-------
I see no hesitation
There's a red line 
There is no contemplation
Why it was defined, now

Amid the conflagration
This is just fine
A world of condemnation 
Our warrant signed, now

How can they not know they're this stupid?
Open mouth insert foot 
Bite the boot tip

Gather so much power turn it useless
Pucker up, give it tongue 
Bite the boot tip

Bite the boot tip...
Bite the boot tip...
Bite the boot tip...

Spreading for prostration
Curl up in their mine
Drill a nug of elation
On the people's dime, now

Ignorance attestations
Won't save you time
When the investigations
Do reveal your crimes

How can they not know they're this stupid?
Open mouth insert foot 
Bite the boot tip

Gather so much power turn it useless
Pucker up, give it tongue 
Bite the boot tip

Bite the boot tip...
Bite the boot tip...
Bite the boot tip...
Bite the boot tip...

Bite The Boot Tip
