Was truly hoping for more time to re-sing this and correct pitch and timing, but here we are. It will have to wait for March or never, whichever comes first. Very unhappy with my vocal take on this, but didn't have time to come back. C'est la vie.
V1
Living like a lucid dream
come up for air once a week
then head back under
Staring at my coffee with no cream
Too much Splenda and I'll end up with
fake rotten teeth
Staring three miles past blue screens
I think my neck is broken, or at least locked in between
Emotional lobotomy
Dig the scalpel in my ear until it's clear of grief
PCH?
[[Because because because because]]
CH
I'm fading in
I'm fading out
I'm falling down
Can't hear me shout
I bang my fist
Against the glass
This too shall pass
Will this pass?
V2
Dirt covered hands
I'm digging deeper even when I should know better
The rising sand around my neck
Take a giant breath before I'm buried once again
PCH?
[[Because because because because]]
BR
I have the tools to fix me
strewn in tired piles all around me, scattered on the ground
No clatter, of glue and nails and boards
Does it matter, when nothing makes a sound?
V3 - empty verse instrumental
PCH
[[Because x4]]
CHx2 out
I'm fading in
I'm fading out
I'm falling down
Can't hear me shout
I bang my fist
Against the glass
This too shall pass
Will this pass?
CH
I'm fading in
I'm fading out
I'm falling down
Can't hear me shout
I bang my fist
Against the glass
This too shall pass
[[Resolve?]]

The pitch doesn't matter in the slightest, TBH. It actually adds, because the backing is clarity and exact. (okay, some pitch correction eventually, I do it too). Lyrics resonate with past life of mine but I've more or less climbed out...some good (ie unsetllign) images here.!
