I'm trying to find a new voice. This feels right.
I was running while listening to the goo goo dolls and this happened...
Running faster
running from feelings
leave my mind before it leaves me
Running from home
I've got nowhere to go
to the unknown when your home is nowhere
C F
burning legs I hold my breath
C Am G
I'm out late at night and chasing streetlights
C F
Heart sets pace while my mind races
C Am G
empty spaces are steeplechases
Can’t slow down, Can’t go backwards
Don’t know how but I guess I’m breathing
Losing sensation of building frustration
Won’t break concentration for hours at all
F C
there's no one else to fight
Am F G
I'm out of sight and it's cold tonight
Can I find my way back can I catch my breath
Out on the road and I’m dodging headlights
Slip down a side street and slip off my feet
Everything fading I feel no pain
Somehow this feels right
Out of sight and it’s cold tonight
Am | C G | F | F | x whatever
Time time time
Keeps on moving me
Faster and faster and faster
Won’t leave me behind hind hind hind
Feel like I’m running around in a circle
And I don’t know what direction to be
If I wasn’t so numb it would cut like a knife
But I’m out of sight and it’s cold tonight

so I put "folk" in the search box and you were the only one that popped up with any songs! and what a good find :-) I really like the raw energy here, sounds almost like you have an irish accent!!? great job! thank you!!!
@andrewrusse Feb 2022
Yeah, like this too. Being the "old git with guitar" songwriter I am, I love songs that can stand up on their own without big arrangement. I also like the arranged versions, but I love songs that can stand without them.

Not bad :-) One of those acoustic songs that cries out for full instrumentation!
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
yup very good, great demo! got great drive and passion! I really like the inner rhymes and general structure! Very nice
@timfatchen Feb 2022
Good feel, good progression, good lyrics, you really get across the zen of pushing through too focussed on the movement and the imperative to run and run, faster...
Bridge? Second section? Sounds pretty complete to me. Note it and worry at it in the other 11 months!

Really thought this was great mate. Can't wait for the next one.
