grey area

another new song... on a bit of a songwriting roll & it feels good. not saying these songs are masterpieces by any stretch of the imagination, but they're creative flow and that's what's exciting.

grey area

verse
i'm afraid of falling into a grey area
i'm alone for so much of my very own hysteria

prechorus
what if i can't find my way
what if i can't find my way out

verse two
i'm too small, to take in the wonder of it all around me
i'm unsure, of everything from what we were to how we should be

prechorus
what if i can't find my way
what if i can't find my way out

chorus
it can't always be so black or white
what about the pieces in between
the parts i don't know
intimidate me so
i'm not too sure what to believe

what about the grey area
i'm in a grey area

bridge
i'm overwhelmed
i'm in too deep
i'm waiting for the world to crumble from beneath my feet

i'm too far gone
i'm far too weak
i'm waiting for the world to crumble from beneath my feet
i'm waiting for the world to crumble from beneath me

prechorus
what if i can't find my way
what if i can't find my way out

chorus
it can't always be so black or white
what about the pieces in between
the parts i don't know
that intimidate me so
i'm not too sure what to believe

what about the grey area
i'm in a grey area

new song

So as usual there have been chunks of time where we have recording sessions scheduled & work being done on the album, and then there are chunks of time where nothing is being done. We have two sessions scheduled for the next week and I'm hoping to get the guitar tracks done soon! In the meantime I've been fairly productive with writing new songs. Here is one.

chameleon

verse
do you know who you are
do you know who you want to be
sometimes you go a little too far
try a little too hard
bend a little too easy

pre chorus
so stop looking for yourself
in the pieces of everybody else

chorus
you know this ain't no competition
why can't you celebrate what makes you different
you're always changing in & out of your skin
it's almost as if, you're a chameleon

verse two
what's the use holding back
what's the use, hiding at all
when you're so much more than that
between the cracks
so much potential

prechorus
so stop comparing yourself
to the timelines of everybody else

chorus
you know this ain't no competition
why can't you celebrate what makes you different
you're always changing in & out of your skin
it's almost as if, you're a chameleon

bridge
where do you end, where do you begin
it's hard to tell, when you're so busy blending in

chorus
you know this ain't no competition
why can't you celebrate what makes you different
you're always changing in & out of your skin
it's almost as if, you're a chameleon
