FAWM: "Time Machine IV"

Time Machine IV

Skirmish: What would you do with a ... (@robinleaf)

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

It seems every year I get to add to this one. Might have to do a recording at a later date, or I could just do Time Machine V next time and leave people wondering where part 4 is would be funny or not.

Lyrics

If I, was still there
Could I say, could I say, could I say that?
If I, was still there
Could I stay, could I stay, could I stay there?

I've lost the plot
Can't get enough, of mistakes
Wish I could I say to myself
It's not gonna work out
Wish I could say to myself
Wonder where I'd be then

If I, was still there
Could I say, could I say, could I say that?
If I, was still there
Could I stay, could I stay, could I stay there?

I tried to make it too complex
So that no one understands
That what's beneath the surface
It's too shallow, it's too shallow

I've lost it all
Can't make the sound, sound the way I want
Wish I could I say to myself
Get it right, this time
Wish I could I say to myself
Wonder where I'd be then

If I, was still there
Could I say, could I say, could I say that?
If I, was still there
Could I stay, could I stay, could I stay there?

Could I stay, could I stay, could I stay there?
Could I stay?

ooh, i really feel like the backing music would make this pop. i get that sense of anxiety and stress coming through

A real sense of angst coming through. I love the repetitions in the chorus, and the subtle changes there, too. This gives lots of feels as well as evoking my curiosity about the source of the urge behind it. Good skirmish!
