Decided to write a track using my Fender Strat. Not really Arkks Material but thought id share.

1954

Got some inspiration today due to a reversed chord progression from another song of mine and Daniel Tievsky's.  Turned out pretty well, I think.  I imagine it as some sort of dark forest theme.

Nostalgia Mirage

And when I thought that I was finally done
That I had reached my fill of misery  
My trough refills and I must eat from it
Because I am unable to feed myself

I thrust myself back in like a moth to the lamp
And bash my head against the unsoft glass
And though it burns the scales off of my wings
I still choose this over my apathy 

She tortures me with her memory
Claws at cages inside my head
Arms outstretched to break the chains
Dejection creeping over like rust

Torture me with your apathy
Cast my clothing beside my cares
I am some kind of wisp to you
Grievances one has left to bear

Moth.

Fix Me

In glancing more through the days past, rippling in the pond
Of my desires, bubbling to peek above the small surface waves
I can choose to hide, or I can choose to decide
To step away from this hole
Or to peer further inside
Truth written in volumes detailing the mistake
Should I remain ignorant one more year?

The page blew past too quickly to be read
And now there's a weight of confusion on my head
I'm moving so slowly but traveling too fast
And praying my future's bereft of my past

Climbing up as I'm sliding down.

Scrambling upward to fall from summits that I never saw
Climbing up as I'm sliding down.

The page flew past too quickly to be read
And now there's a weight of confusion on my head
I'm moving so quickly, so why am I still here?
I'll do what they told me and wait one more year

Climbing Up

Witnessed a new mark on my skin today
Or was it a list I made
Days blend like chalk
Mentor's board, green and black
Smells like my childhood dreams

That lie
Was the same lie
You had told me
I believe you
Tell the same lies
I believe you
  
Smirk another fable
And though I see
The shade leak through
Change my countenance
With sweetened vapors so volatile

Counting dirt outside
To color in the lines on my hand
To know what's true takes one
And all I have is me

That lie
Was the same lie
You had told me
I believe you
Tell the same lie
Please, the same lie
And I'll believe
