Well, after the last few weeks of working on potential songs for M and I to duet on, I finally got her to actually sing on the demo! Had plenty of time for writing this week, but the demo is still a rushed affair - in fact, poor M was learning the lines as she sang them. I thought she did just great, though! And I think the song has potential, though it'll definitely need a little buffing and polishing ...
lyrics
you come around
all blaze and scar
you lit yourself again
I wish I knew
how come you have to
turn mist to hurricane
I thought I heard
a beating heart
it was just the sound of rain
that empty noise -
why can’t you find your voice? -
all that still remains
crazy how there’s nothing inside me
used to be a pretty good ear
now I always feel like I’m burning
entering your atmosphere
what happened here?
no gaze beyond
what’s right before my eyes
can’t hurt too much
no feel, no touch
don’t care, there’s no surprise
crazy how there’s nothing inside me
used to be a pretty good ear
now I always feel like I’m burning
entering your atmosphere
