about

This song is sort of testing the waters... it's always been in the back of my mind to write a musical. I've attempted it three times now, but the songs never got all the way to a demo with vocals. I don't know if this particular song is musical material, but it was good practice and a way to see what the whole process was like from beginning to end.

Usually I have to struggle to fit someone else's words to the melody — this time it was much easier because I could just edit them directly myself. I came up with what the song was about while I was writing it. I mostly just wanted it to be a fun experience and didn't worry about it making complete sense or having a super well thought-out story or anything.

I decided to release the track as a standalone to add more things to my repertoire. I did have something more involved in mind, like a fully animated music video for it, but when I ran the numbers I realized that would take way too long. You'll just have to imagine it I'm afraid!

lyrics

I'm not looking up
My neck's too weak to move
Smashed glass, broken cups
The others disapprove

Always getting into fights
Getting in my own way
In a fair world they'd see
An angel God did not betray

I'm trying
To tell you
They're one and the same
You think that
I'm lying?
Why are wars here to stay?

They pretend
to argue
They're playing a game
Two sides
of one coin
Throw loose change away

Hear the truth
There's no one to save you
Hear the truth
There's no one to pray to

I turn my back on them all
They won but down they must fall
I know that things seem more bleak
Stand up, don't let them see that you are weak

Hear the truth
Even when it hurts to hear
The truth
There's no one to save you

Know the truth
Even when it hurts to know
The truth
There's no one to pray to

I have no place up there
Among the liars and clowns
I have no place down there
Time for another round

Hear the truth
There's no one to save you
Know the truth
There's no one to pray to

The truth
It's what they both fear
The truth
Help me to bring them all down
