The Laziness Hypothesis

Well it's been a while that I've written anything worth posting to this blog. My life has been undergoing some beta fixes...new more demanding job, new uber cool phone, new less sleep-centric routine, the list goes on...

But blame the Laziness over all else...

Now that the ole' Blackberry has been replaced by an Android mother-of-all-phones, with an app for Blogger, I'm going to go back to being more regular with my thought dumps.

Welcome to the Otherside! We may not have any cookies, but stay tuned for some food for thought!

Complicated Life

Well I haven't posted anything for a while, but that's not because I haven't been busy writing! Different day, different muses, fresh inspiration...And all that! Here's another song I've been working on for the band...This one has all the angst I could muster. I'm a mild person that way! :)

Verse 1:

Parking Tickets, Panic Dreams,
Pillow talk, wake up in screams!
Living high, lying low,
Stereotypical sordid show!
Terror Threats, Trouble Brews,
Despair dancing in the news!
Leave it out, let it in,
Another day of lies begins...

Chorus:

All of these days,
Wasting away,
Waiting for salvation to rain down from the skies,
Through the frigid cold,
Redemption to behold!
So tired of this complicated life!

Verse 2:

Mumbled cries, shrieking pleas,
A broken world begs on it's knees,
Poker faces, jaded souls,
Lives empty as beggars bowls!
Creased foreheads, furrowed brows,
Struggling to survive somehow,
This is you, this is me!
Picture perfect hypocrisy!

Verse 3:

Finger pointing, foolish man,
What happened to your fickle plan?
Live fast, Die young...
Your journey's just begun...
Torn apart, Tied together,
Fated to live forever!
Dance! Dance! Forlorn friend,
Will you ever comprehend?

Bridge:

Follow your heart, free your mind,
Life's worth more than,
All you've left behind!
Providence holds out her hand,
Waiting on you to understand!
You're worth so much more!

Passionflower!

This man just blew me away! Thought I'd share this little treasure. Oh Jon Gomm!

The Storm

There's a storm a brewing,
These demons will not lie still,
If Lady Karma must have her way,
And believe you me, she will!

The clouds take on a deathly black,
The wind howls it's desolate shriek,
The Willow sways, once majestic,
Now barely enduring, solitary, weak!

The thunder shakes your wounded soul,
Lighting tears at the demons in your sky,
The downpour floods the farthest corners,
Of your fetid, deceptive lies!

The tempest clouds your wretched soul,
Believe in the inevitability of chance,
As Destiny seduces you,
With her enticing, morose dance!

The Hand of Fate is slowly turning,
Its every finger points to you!
But rest in restless slumber, mon chere,
Black skies are slowly turning Blue...
