WEEK 6 - SONG 6 - Muscae Volitantes*
*drums by Niall Kelly
I'm not insane, I'm just using my brain too much
Words that fail me
Eaten by tiny bugs
In the dust
Bring me my pills
Daylight is teasing me
While I sleep
Set it years away
Let me dream it to life
I can't scratch the itch
The future's bitch
We're living in a cycle too soon
We're livid at the thought of the the moon
We're living and we're ready to fall
I don't think this is living at all
When did you learn
To shut out all the thoughts
From the dark
Bring me my pills
The winter is peeling back
We can't have that, no, no
I'm not insane, I'm just using my brain too much
WEEK 1 - SONG 1 - Ammonium Perchlorate
Lyrics:
Ammonium Perchlorate
And as I pull away From the clamour Like treacle in sand I drip into another year An ocean of apathy Bitter pity, drowning I grow tired Of letting myself be abused By the likes of you And you And you And you "I want to jump out of a spaceship, into the freezing, black void of space. That's how I want to go. I want to become one with nothingness." Be gone Let go Be free Lost soul Be dead Leave me Be free Be gone Let go Be free Lost soul Be dead Leave me Be free
Yep. Here we go again, only at a more concerned, elderly pace.
A song a week isn't nearly as exciting as a song a day, but my song a day for a year project was always about writing good songs and I feel there is definitely value in writing something, then leaving it alone for a while to come back to it with fresh ears and new perspectives.
I also reckon I'll be able to get more collaborators on board, when we have more time to play with per song, but we shall see. 52 awesome-o-max songs coming your way this year. I'm excited. But for the first time in a year, I'm having a day off.
So go on, bugger off now!
