Here's another song. I wanted to focus on writing a vocal melody for once rather than just sorta winging it.

UPDATE AND FILE CHANGE
Yeah the timing really sucked in places so I rerecorded the whole thing and added a bass solo, have fun with that Shia!

Lyrics:

With each rising footstep
I get closer to the top
with each losing battle
I may suffer but I’ll never stop

Making something out of nothing was never quite a
strong suit that I had
Taking with me just as much as I can carry as long as
noone and I mean noone has a hand in my bag

winded bending trees caressed by simple melodies
erupt from the earth casting happy shade
Forest filled with light a breeze to cool the after-bite
a stroll on down through the fine black dust we’ve made

Chorus

when the oil smells like bullets, do we really
have the option to stay the course
when the water turns to fire right before us, can we
still try to hold back the bleeding, do we really have that kind of force?

Was it ever enough to know when the silence turns to voice
take your loved ones in your arms
one direction sinking low in the mirror, write it down
take a collection, say you had no other choice


spend all my days, dealin’ with you
can’t break the chain that you’re pullin’ me to
just hoping that you can follow it through
don’t waste my time I can stomach it too
(repeat)

Chorus

Making something out of nothing was never quite a
strong suit that I had
Taking with me as much as I can just as long as
noone and I mean noone has a hand in my bag
