just figured the "arteests" among us might like to get together and rap a little on what we've been up to, new things we're trying, where we're drawing inspiration and the likes. i think ole franko did this awhile back. maybe we could talk about our lyrics? i know we all play guitar here (at least most of us do to some degree) but i figured it might do us some good to step outside of the guitar slinger persona for awhile and have a place to talk about this type of stuff.
i'll go first if anyone cares.
so i've been working on a new song, it's taken quite some time to get to the point that i'm at. i don't really feel inspired, but i feel like i still need to write. so i keep at it, and here is what i've been working on. i've had the chords somewhat lying around, and the progression keeps changing as i go along. here are the lyrics:
how does it feel when your whole world's been stolen?
asleep under a blanket of lies, held down by chains that are golden
i pulled your doll house down from the attic and tried to save baby jesus
and then buried him under the apple trees, so no one could dull his eyes
three weeks of bitter pills i no longer see the forest or the trees
so i laid my head on a blanket of needles and then saw something shining
it was your ghost come to meet me and say "i'm dying"
and that's all i got, couldn't seem to finish the second verse.
so what've you guys been working on?
