WEEK 5 - SONG 5 - Astrophobia

WEEK 5 - SONG 5 - Astrophobia

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

Song A Week For A Year - 2012

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!
