New Song - Taken By The Sea

Hey, I recorded and wrote a new song. I have been playing around with the riff for some time until my friend wanted me to write the whole thing and play with him last Saturday. So! I recorded it with a little intro of another riff I'm working with. Hope you like it!

I was taken by, by the sea
It's over me
and I don't know, where to go
Or who to see
It's under me

and please could you hang with me a while?
We'll take turns learning about that new style

And we set sail, from the land
From our hands
and we saw the shore, oh what a bore
oh what a bore

and please could you hang with me a while?
We'll take turns learning about that crazy style

I was taken by, by the sea
It's over me
and I don't know, where to go
Or who to see
It's over me

and please could you hang with me a while?
We'll take turns learning about that crazy style

ba ba da ba.

me an josh are working on something

an idea he had plus watching 28 days later made me decide to make my blog about a zombie apocalypse. like, if Old J was just writing poetry, and then it happened, and he wrote about it. josh read what i have and is gonna write what his perspective of the outbreak is like. i only have 2 entries but ill start more tomorrow, i have a free day.

heres some stuff

their not likely to react
when you're shot upon the track
'cuz their use to sounds of guns
and runners falling to their backs

dogs were the chosen ones
the apes would end up jealous
but the wolves were loyal and loving and just dumb enough to stay content
now they live in house
prowling halls
stalking ankles
eyeing bags
searching for crinkles of plastic and paper
no longer hunting to eat
they bring us the squeakers from their toys,
the way a wolf would bring us a rabbit's heart
"no, you take it, i appreciate it though. ill have one bite"
they have earned their place among the thinking
they have earned the petting and the pampering
those who find pets deplorable can not see the past
we owe it to them, the deserve the life of man
we had the ideas, they had the skills
we conquered the wild, together
and now they claim their stake in the tamed.

new stuff

1. SPRINKLER
somewhere
behind the treeline
applause
of one million
but it is so far away
that is sounds
like rain

different people
applauding for
different things
each one of them
sounds
like rain

2. BUG
small brown
paper packet
sugar in the
raw
left out on the
counter in the
kitchen after
dark
using little wings
growing hard
on your back
going and searching for a
nice sweet snack
so you can tell all your friends
where the party is at
and bring 'em for a visit
if they wanna relax
i'm gonna kill 'em with my super attack
put holes in their stomachs with a baseball bat
stomp on their faces like a cigarette
remove them from the skeletons that they tenderly packed
and play with the jello making up their soul
and more
i'll do it clean
i won't even stain the carpet
that's not ice cream
i won't let it stain the carpet
nothing in my brain
ever meant to stain the carpet

3. SNACK
carrying
cereal
kitchen is closed
dark
stairs
lights are low
you're hungry
and you did not sign up for this
balancing act

i need a doctor who can specialize
in a strange condition
i need a girl with sideways eyes
who'll wanna take me fishing
i wanna touch her eyeballs to mine

lids fit
like
lipstick
that
tastes
like
chalk
and i'll see
the bullshit
that spins
her
clock

4. MOTOWN
little bombs of
rhythm explode
in my hungry stomach
and purple
and brown
voices
sadly reply

5. LIPS
keep them dry
to make it seem
to hurt
to smile
but smile
all the time

raw lips in winter
take home no pleasant surprise
and your eyes
didn't help
much

6.
I CAN HAVE EVERYTHING I WANT.
I CAN HAVE,
AT LEAST,
WHAT I CAN HAVE.
IF NOT EVERYTHING,
EVERYTHING I CAN.
