I really want to use that line - "once more, with feeling" - in a song, at some point. I love that line. Anyways, this is just a lyric dump, just stuff that I have written music for and should hopefully be up for you to listen to pretty quick.
First off, this is the song that I wrote for my play, "A Sight Unseen:" Gabe uses it to try to snap Gavin out of his episode. It's actually named after an awesome song by Rise Against - the play, not the song. It's not just about the play - this song is about my own personal experience, too, I just moulded it to the play a bit.
Like a storm of razor thoughts
No one can repay this debt
And the bastard talks a lot
You see, he made me do it
Sickness lives inside my skull
Floor to ceiling, wall to wall
Just another defect
A thousand television sets
Playing static in my head
I'm so imperfect
Like the Backwards Music Station
He sounds just like Hell
Try for silence with sedation
But nothing works that well
He shows what I don't want to know
Visions of what I despise
He hacks at me ever so
Because I know they aren't just lies
Sickness lives inside my skull
Floor to ceiling, wall to wall
Just another defect
A thousand television sets
Playing static in my head
I'm so imperfect
I would do
Anything to fix this
I would give
Anything to clean my head
Another
Swing & a miss
Everything
Inside of me is being misread
All I want is quiet
Synapses gone mad
My cells are all on riot
Ignoring the perfect plan
Sickness lives inside my skull
Floor to ceiling, wall to wall
Just another defect
A thousand television sets
Playing static in my head
I'm so imperfect
I'm so imperfect
I'm so imperfect
This one's the one I wrote about directing class - I've started on the music, but I have to find it again. The title's not fully capitalized because French folks don't love capital letters like we do.
Au revoir
In the basement of that place
Beyond that cellar door
You sat and you epitomized
What I was starving for
I stepped in a little late
Was off by months & years
Reason wasn't grasping me
So I ended up there
It's over now, but it was fun
So au revoir & goodbye
I guess maybe I'll see you again
Somewhere, sometime
It was something I was searching for
But never thought I'd find
It was just what I was hoping for
We shared a common mind
Where words gave way to feelings
Where I felt I could feel safe
One of two I could be myself
I took solace in this place
It's over now, but it was fun
So au revoir & goodbye
I guess maybe I'll see you again
Somewhere, sometime
And now it all is sadly gone
Yes, all good things must end
But someday, down this muted road
I'll see you again, my friend
This is the song that Jade and I performed, for those of you that were there.
Awful Lovers
I know what's hiding inside you
I've taken all I can take
I know you're insecure, yeah
I know you're just another fake
You two made awful lovers
& we made even worse friends
I had your back, but then you stabbed mine
I hope I never see your face again
I guess you've already
Forgotten all I did for you
With the way everything has gone
There's only one thing I can do
I can't help you anymore
I've left you dying in the snow
I'm moving on from your fatal flaw
There's just nowhere else to go
You two made awful lovers
& we made even worse friends
I had your back, but then you stabbed mine
I hope I never see your face again
Your light switch romance
Was as poisonous as you say
Tried to pull you from addiction
But you sent me on my way
I wish I could tell you
That we'll be fine again someday
But I'm not one to lie
I'm better off this way
You two made awful lovers
And we made even worse friends
I had your back, but then you stabbed mine
I hope I never see your face again
You two made awful lovers
And we made even worse friends
I had your back, but then you stabbed mine
I hope I never see your face
I hope I never see your face
... again
All three of these songs have music written, I just have to finish the music up and then record it and you all can tell me what you think.
