This is a first take, writing-on-the-fly recording at just a little before 3am. I thought there was already enough to be concerned about. What a crazy week. After some crazy months.
This needs a lot of reworking if I make my way to revisiting, but there are some aspects I like as a song.
lyrics
Elementary 80’s led me to believe
That all this black and white was through
On our way to utopia, idealistic truth
It feels like it’s over, but it’s not over
Seeing space between the lines especially
a few years later as I opened up my eyes
Slips of tongues I learned to recognize
It feels like it’s over, but it’s not over
Cracking books to try to make some ends
Exposing roots like Stranger Things
From the back woods to the top of the chain
It feels like it’s over, but it’s not over
Years of all the dirt under the rug
Except the most openly obscene
Came spewing from the bottle around 2016
It feels like it’s over, but it’s not over
Social texts on platforms like the auctioneer
Gas on the fire, honey, sweetie
It seems like genie wants only to be free
It feels like it’s over, but it’s not over
Blazing friendship takes the captain down
Flames erupt faster than water puts it out
Master with the keys feeding them clout
It feels like it’s over, but it’s not over
Chances thrown before the train to realign
Shed light instead, the trench is deep and wide
String-attached bridges start to unwind
It feels like it’s over, but it’s not over
Revolution follows the crimes
Restitution for the times
Resolution comes when we decide
That it’s over, it feels like it’s over
