I think I carried this around song for almost 8 years and had recorded a few different versions. The album version was a first take recorded early on the first morning I learned how to actually play the chords on piano. Simply put, I wrote it for the idea of lost love. It was originally a guitar son...
[Verse]
Can I tempt you with scenes you can’t ignore?
I don’t feel peace
As I’m waiting for the beast to transform
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh and this curse could be broken
Like a shadow in the night
I won’t look back
But maybe I don’t want to forget
[Chorus]
It’s been trippin’ me up inside since I came here
And I won't be satisfied til I lose
Hanging on to life as a fader
Too wasted to realize the absolute
[Verse]
I’m incomplete
I wander the back streets
Though I’m closer now than ever before
And if I die next to you
Thеre would be no defеat
Only glory that would shine down on me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh but our time is borrowed
In the quicksilver sand
There for a flash
But we could not pass through undetected
[Chorus]
It’s been trippin’ me up inside since I came here
And I won't be satisfied til I lose
Hanging on to life as a fader
Too wasted to realize the absolute
[Outro]
