Day #104 - Your Stupid Rocks
You want a rock song?
How about a song with the word 'Rock' in the title?
How about a song that, as subject matter, involves at least the theme of rocks?
Points for who can guess what this one is about, or even anything close. I would love to hear some wishy-washy spiritual connections people have with this one!

That foundations of
No generations
Are simply the most avid fantasy
To those who want to move on
We stand begging, pleading
Please, please
Just let it go
No one wants to know and
No one cares about your stupid rocks
No one cares about your stupid rocks
The industry sits at tables
Pouring coffee into fables
That no one could find
interesting in the rain
And those who want to move on
Are ignored, singing songs
About the future
Just let it go
No one's going to go and
No one cares about your stupid rocks
No one cares about your stupid rocks
No one cares about your
No one cares about your
Your stupid rocks
Your stupid rocks
Your stupid rocks
Your stupid
No one cares about your
No one cares about your
Your stupid rocks
Your stupid rocks
Your stupid rocks
Your stupid rocks
Your stupid rocks ^
Your stupid rocks V
Your stupid rocks--
Raincoats to the north
We found the dirt to which
We owe almost nothing
And to that we shield our eyes
To those who want to move on
We stand jaded, underrated
In the spray
Just let it go
No one wants to know and
No one cares about your stupid rocks
Day #103 - My Poor Mind
I know, I know. "Lee, Foo Fighter's already wrote a song very similar to this... geez... called 'My Poor Brain'? Pretty important to the flow of The Colour and the Shape, you know?"
Yeah, yeah, I know, but it couldn't be avoided. I wrote the lyrics, it had 'My Poor Mind' in it and I couldn't get around it, nothing suited better as a title. "Every Ghost" was close, but I have a thing against song names with ghost in them. Also songs with the word ghost in them, but I make some exceptions on my part. So... yeah. HERE IT IS!

That haunts these floors
Knows my name
But when I call
They won't change
Every ghost
That haunts this mind
Calls my name
But when I look
They won't stay
And it'll only be a matter of time before they swallow me whole
And take my poor mind
Only be a matter of time before they come for me and take
My poor mind
Only be a matter of days now---
Every door
In every room
Creaks my past
Creaks my wrongs
But every ghost
That passes through
Never judge
Never blink
And it'll only be a matter of time before they swallow me whole
And take my poor mind
Only be a matter of time before they come for me and take
My poor mind
Only be a matter of days now---
I can't stay here--
I can't stay here--
I won't stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
I won't stay--- here-
And it'll only be a matter of time before they swallow me whole
And take my poor mind
Only be a matter of time before they come for me and take
My poor mind
Only be a matter of days now---
And it'll only be a matter of time before they swallow me whole
And take my poor mind
Only be a matter of time before they come for me and take
My poor mind
Only be a matter of days now---
Day #102 - Count To Ten
How about MORE lyrics?
Well, since you asked...
--
As stone
I lie
You're thrilled
I know
I'm not blind
You're still
Entwined
Don't know
That I
I'm still
As stone
By frame
I lie
--
You're
Flushed red
I'm home
They're
Still here
I know
I
Count to ten
And leave
You're
Flushed red
And Relieved
--
I
Can't take
Anymore
What once
I could
I can't
Ignore--
I
Could one
Convince
Now
I'm left
Dismissed
Day #101 - Same Emotion
More lyrics? You bet.
---
I've got mine
Let's just leave it all at that
Your old hopes
My new guise
Shouldn't impact us so fast
I'm as guilty as can be
Can be as guilty as me
We're as guilty as can be
Can be as guilty as we
You cry out
I hold in
The emotion is still the same
You kneel down
I step back
Both jerks, just seperate means
I'm as guilty as can be
Can be as guilty as me
We're as guilty as can be
Can be as guilty as we
Where did we go wrong,
Or maybe when, or maybe why?
Or maybe we've gone right
It eludes us all along. [x2]
Day #100 - Faith In Faith
100 Days of Creativity! (Sort of)
Any particular celebration? ...nah. Wasn't really counting at the time, so here's the lyrics I came with on roughly THIS DAY.
Titled 'Faith In Faith'.
--
There goes your future
You let one man decide
And one man decided stay
How can you possibly sleep at night now knowing that there's nothing up ahead
How could you possibly sleep at night knowing that things will never change---
There goes your lifespan
Didn't think that crutch would catch
Send you flailing while wondering
How can you possibly sleep at night now knowing that there's nothing up ahead
How could you possibly sleep at night knowing that things will never change---
Time stands still indefinitely
The world halts as fire lights the sky
You put your faith in faith and not in heads
Watch as it comes down
Watch as we comes-- down---
--
--
There goes their future
One man decided that
No one could ever live again.
-
How can you possibly sleep at night now knowing that there's nothing up ahead
How could you possibly sleep at night knowing that things will never change--- [x2]
Day #99 - Everyone's at War
Had a good tune for this one! Then tried writing a guitar to it and fucked it up a bit, so now hoping Andy'll step in and get me a stronger background to it. Here's the lyrics though!
--
I learn a little more
Everyone's a bore
Everyone's at war (x2)
[ALL IN]
This glass-ridged box
This glass-house with no door
Is all that separates me from the hands that tear the clothes off
But silent are the stares
That wander through from every side
From every wall I own
And all in all I can't escape this
All in all I can't escape this
All in all I can't escape this
After all I can't escape---
Everytime I fall down
I learn a little more
Everyone's a bore
Everyone's at war [x2]
--
This cobble-stone path
These stones of pink and grey
Are reshaping my feet with their unyielding stature
But resilient are the few
Raised on solid ground to which the cobbles
They can call their own
And all in all I can't escape this
All in all I can't escape this
All in all I can't escape this
Now that I know why---
Everytime I fall down
I learn a little more
Everyone's a bore
Everyone's at war [x2]
('War' of second repeat, hold war, lower tone)
War----------
--
-Here comes a tone change. Try and script the solo to at first adapt to the new tone
with everyone building it up before working it back into the same or a similar tune
to the chorus, basically a build-up that leads from a tone change that is lower,
back into the main chorus.
--
Everytime I fall down
I learn a little more
Everyone's a bore
Everyone's at war [x4]
