about

This week's assignment was to write something for a current project, including the word "glass" or "needle" somewhere in the song.

The chorus riff and melody has been in my head for a couple of weeks, so this seemed like the right time to pursue it. I think this may be a contender for the band, but it's definitely at the top or beyond my range, so lots of practice or reworking will be needed.

I definitely hear some room for improvement in other departments, but feel like it's at least an interesting start. I've been trying to experiment with how to write a lot lately and while many of these roads may not have a destination, I'm learning a lot by getting out of my comfort zone.

lyrics

People paint their masterpieces
To color up the walls
Built along the fences
Dividing us all

To make a purer canvas
A glimpse to the other side
Reminding a long look up
Reveals the same sky

The sun will set and rise again
clouds will come and go
Sometimes with stars that shine
Others lightening, rain and snow

But every wind of change
Rests every now and then
A quiet stillness or gentle breeze
To briefly bask in

Or waste away in blackness
Encompassing your soul
Begging for release
How ever the dice roll

This is the consequence of losing all you love
Crying out for some help from above
This is the consequence of being all alone
Sinking deeper like a stone

Where hope fell off the lowest rung
The bottom never heard
Clinging on with splinters
At a loss for words

Until the breeze picks up
To carry the weight away
A change of perspective
Spiritual hurricane

A mess may be left
In the wake of the aftermath
But picking up pieces
Slowly unveils a new path

One foot after the other
The past becomes the past
To stay there forever
The rest of the outcasts

Raise a song in harmony
So not to waste away
Drown out all the demons
Disastrous dismay

This is the consequence of moving on
Time is the only helpful liaison
This is the consequence of being young
At least as far as it's concerned

"The glass can be half full or empty.
It's whatever you want it to be.
What's it going to be? "
