about

"Not going to wait anymore" was the phrase for this week, which I used in part of a throw away line at the end.

After the busiest week yet for me this round, I came as ill-prepared for my Sunday night writing session as I have been so far. Two hours in - beating my head against the wall to take some of the scattered free write I did this week into something decent - a different riff came to mind. I ended up writing brand new lyrics altogether. There are parts of this I like, but think it needs more work than any tune I've written this round. I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow. Maybe the title is my subconscious yelling "fuggetaboutit!"

lyrics

“Not To Mention”

You're the first thought when I open my eyes
And all I see before I fall asleep
Ghosts still haunting me, REM to deep
And that's not to mention the hours in between

It's cold out there
and I don't want to smoke inside
think I'll drink the night away
It's cold out here
but whiskey warms my bones
think I'll drink the night away

I put on my face, every single time
to walk on the stage of the daily grind
work 'till I bleed, at least occasionally
but that's not to mention the hours in between

It's cold out there
and I don't want to smoke inside
think I'll drink the night away
It's cold out here
but whiskey warms my bones
think I'll drink the night away

I think I'm going to cry, think I'm going to be sick
holding on to hope just like a crucifix (hypocrite)
“Settle down now before you lose your shit”
You and I apart just doesn't seem to fit

You're the first thought when I open my eyes


Ink to the paper, but not keeping any score
Nothing's going to change, not going to wait anymore
