Sometimes we're a tick, without a tock
We know where we are, but we're so damn lost.
We crawl, then walk, then run
And we think the birth is only beginning
But when the getting is good it's only just begun
Like the rising of a setting sun.
Sweet sound is arresting
Though some words depressing
Yet we're a nuclear world
Set to shine all night
And when we're all unfurled
Everyone's all right
We end up being nothing more than what we are
Nothing less than a door ajar
Every birth is a crash landing
And every death a misunderstanding
The nature of existence
Elusive as hell
But doesn't really matter
It all goes as well
I think we're addicted to charity
Amongst all this disparity
Like the universe we're trying to pull
Always quite full
But always expanding
And whether we're racing
Or slowly embracing
There's a cause worth fighting for
A love worth dying for
A hope worth living for
A dream worth striving for
A path worth walking towards.
Sweet sound is arresting
Though some words depressing
Yet we're a nuclear world
Set to shine all night
And when we're all unfurled
Everyone's all right
We have the times we feel alive
We have the weeks we have to strive
And at the end of the day
The day is done
Whether or not we're ready
For another one
We're here and we're gone
What we leave isn't long
But it's lasting and tasteful
And everything's graceful
In the time when we're absent
And everything is half spent
And the clock is still going
Without anyone knowing
We're all a tick
Without a tock
And it matters
Matters not.

Quoth the raven, nevermore?
GUYS. I FINALLY WROTE ANOTHER GOOD SONG. (Seruously, though. It's been like, forever.)
I feel like this is sort of the song that I've been meaning to write, and trying to write, while accidentally writing other things. It has the right words, the right feel, the right tempo. With some music, I think it could be really good.
What is this song exactly about? I'm not sure. It's about everything, I think. Or maybe nothing. But isn't that sort of the point? For it to be about living and stuff? I think it's about being ok, and living life. About moving on, without forgetting. About understanding that we don't understand. The bigger picture, and how we relate to it. But, the beuaty of song, and much of writing, is that it can be about ANYTHING you want it to be. Your birthday? Sure. The loss of a friend? Sure. The pretty sky today? Sure. Whatever you like, reader. Whatever you like.
I sort of see it as a more sophisticated of my deviation 'A Song.' although, with a slightly different emotional tune and focus.
Any comments, critiques, concerns, complaints are welcome!
