So Long

This is another song I've been working on. I like the way it's turning out, but I think I need some vocal training or something to pull it off, um... properly? That's one of the struggles I have with art: "How do you know when it's right?" Is art ever really done? I sure as hell don't know when it's done. Or if you can even call it art.

I've got a couple other songs I'm working on and once I get those to more of a finished state, I get to start the adventure of recording. I want to put together a self-produced EP this year. 40x40 and all that. This is just one more step towards that goal.

Anywho, here is an approximation of the lyrics:

    so here you stand
    o, where
    are we farther than
    our last fare?
    
    your stones throw
    was a boomerang
    and i swear 

    that there's no
    ground to hold
    and you're not so bold
    with regret on your side

    it's been so long
    you were so wrong

    and here we stand
    our feelings barred
    against the plan
    with kindness scarred
    
    "You were told,"
    they scolded
    while we stack cans
    in our house of shards

    where the touches of old
    have turned callous and cold
    and we lost all control
    from the regret at our sides

    it's been so long
    we were so wrong

    I stole
    stole away
    to where dulled end of principles fray
    unable to confide
    with the regret at my side

    it's been so long
    I was so wrong
