WIDE EYES
SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm excited.:DDDDD
I wrote a song today. AND recorded it. And it actually doesn't suck!
Thing is, since it was basically just an impromptu recording, it's just an Acapella (vocals only) song, so I don't really have any instrumental music to go with it. I'm very proud of it though. It's the first really musical thing I've done in 5 years, so even if it does suck and my mom is the only one who likes it, I can't help but be ecstatic because of it.
Anyway, here are the lyrics to it:

"Live my life to it's fullest"...?
I'll carry out my death to it's best.
I can't reap what I can't sow.
I can't practice what I can't preach.
So find someone else to make your speech.

Oh, wide eyes.
Always watching, always waiting.
Whoa, sleepless sighs.
Always restless, always rejected.

This sense of safety and risklessness has pushed
Me to the edge.
And his frozen apathy is always prodding me in the back
Begging God to let me fall off the plank.
And as I drown, you have no idea how sick I am of making these pages scream his name.

Oh, wide eyes. Wide eyes.
Always watching, always waiting.
Whoa, sleepless sighs.
Always restless, always rejected.

Yeah,
People come and people go.
But even after he's left,
He won't get the fuck out.
He's still there
But he doesn't care.
He still stares.
But I've said all I can
And even if something did happen,
This would still be broken.
I would still be broken.

Oh, wide eyes
(Always watching...)
Oh, sleepless sighs
(Always waiting)
Wide eyes
(Always restless)
Sleepless sighs
(Always rejected)...

[P.S. I sung it to the tune of Motion City Soundtrack's "L.G. FUAD," in case anyone's wondering. I mean, I sped up the tempo about around the chorus and a few other things, but basically it's the same melody.]
