Until I say other wise, this is my personal favorite.
Uncivil is the Mind
By Heidi G. Wolfson
G. F. E
Sometimes hard not to go dark
D G
Sometimes hard not to go dark
Sometimes hard not to go dark
Sometimes hard not to go dark
G F. C
We want comfort from each other
D G
But nobody has any comfort left to give
F C
I scream at the trees like a fricking bird
D G
And wind up utterly, utterly unheard
F C
None of us can listen until all of us are heard
D G
So everybody here is a screeching bird
Sometimes hard not to go dark
Sometimes hard not to go dark
Sometimes hard not to go dark
Sometimes hard not to go dark
It starts as a feeling in the heart
And then turns a shade darker in the ominous barn
Where bad shit goes down, makes you a wreck
When you see the cotton gin fan around his neck
Anxiety presses against your body’s walls
As it replaces your existence at all
Sometimes hard not to go dark
Sometimes hard not to go dark
Sometimes hard not to go dark
Sometimes hard not to go dark
Now I know why they call death a rest
From the inside out all activity will cease
Braincells squawk, like a bird in a tree
Until your warbler stops and your thoughts get no release
That old life sentence that you know so well
That old black magic takes you straight to hell
G F C D
You’re okay now breathe in, breathe out
You’re okay now breathe in, breathe out
You’re okay now breathe in, breathe out

Such a catchy hook - opening straight into that really grabbed me. The ending is equally cool, I could see that going on to fade out a bit longer!

This is definitely a hard rocker but it's too good a melody to be punk. I love the hook and could see a bit of harmony on it, as long as it is shouted. I can hear Art's lead guitar methinks.

I dig this one! The lyrics are spot on!
@winchperry Feb 2022
You're on a bird theme. Lol
I really like this. It's catchy and listenable, but also hardhitting and deep. Love u!

I could hear this as a punk song, yes, but also works well acoustically. Could layer that chorus up with harmonies. Great lyrics and catchy tune. Nicely done.

Vocals sound great! You are a high flying bird

You are on fire!! Another amazing song!! So many layers to these lyrics and I love the melody and chorus hook. Wow.
