Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #guywithguitar
A story of regret and a unforgiven soul.
I wrote the lyrics during the skirmish and the music three hours later. I recorded the demo 24 hours later.
Verse 3 was originally two verses, which I combined for the sake of length. I show the original skirmish lyrics at the bottom.

Lyrics

I could lie here and dream
I’ve got it made in the shade
Since the day
Someone said
I should lie
In the bed
That I made

I don’t know what I can do
I don’t know where to begin
I can sleep
Hide my face
And escape
From this place
That I’m in

I was lost in my dreams
Feeling no pain
But I lost my dream and now it seems
I’m lost again

I should breathe it all out
Free will feels like a curse
When you can’t
Let it go
Or you won’t
I don’t know
Which is worse

I was lost in my dreams
Feeling no pain
But I lost my dream and now it seems
I’m lost again

Show me the door
To the world where I made no mistakes
Can it be like before
I will do whatever it takes

But if there is a price
It was already paid
On the day
Someone said
I should lie
In the bed
That I made

I was lost in my dreams
Feeling no pain
But I lost my dream and now it seems
I’m lost again

——
ORIGINAL VERSES 3A–B
I got lost in the past
Free will sounds like a curse
When you can’t
Let it go
Or you won’t
I don’t know
Which is worse

So what’s done is done
I should breathe it all out
Lost the thread
Lost the track
Can’t go on
Can’t go back
Lost in doubt

I like how you have generalized the narrative. We don't know what happened to you but it makes it easy to say "I've been there". Good write.

Some fabulous verses here. I love that chorus!
"I was lost in my dreams
Feeling no pain
But I lost my dream and it seems
I’m lost again"

Wonderful structure to this lyric with the shape of the verses and great chorus. The repetition works well to amplify the feeling of being lost.

Great lyric. Looking forward to hearing the music. If it's as good as your other work it will be well worth a listen
