Name: Dying Breath (v2)
Duration: P00H03M05S
Description: Felt like this one needed more space than what I did last week and that it was a bit low. I upped the key, slowed down the tempo and tried to open up phrasing. Also wanted to add a chant / refrain. Tough week in terms of timing (thanks to a trip to W-S) but I think with even "more" time I would tighten up phrasing, tweak chorus melodies and make it better!

lyrics

Wished I'd listened harder
Wished I'd tried a little more
Wasn't anything I meant to do
Got stranded in our own forgotten war

First she got hurt then she walked away
I was too busy nothing real to say
Now I'm trying to take it all back
Slim chance - like a heart attack

Chorus:

Drifting away, not gonna fight it
Don't have a lot of time left
Been lost for a long time
All alone w/ my dying breath

Wished I'd listened harder
Wished I'd tried a little better
Wasn't anything I meant to do or had to say

First she walked out then the bleeding starts
I was out of touch with a frozen heart
Now I'm trying to make it all right
Slim chance - better say good night

Chant:
Fear of falling
Falling down
Fear of death is
All around
