Liner Notes

I think this will probably have to be the last of my "serious" EP submissions. I like this one. The others are a bit more spiteful and douer, I like that this one feels more uplifting while still maintaining that melancholy quality to it.

Kind of just dropped rhyming for this one. Just wanted to let my thoughts flow without limiting myself to word choice.

I INTEND ON MAKING A DEMO

Lyrics

(Verse)
Mist swirls around my legs
My footsteps reverberate
The trees are twisted and gnarled
Whispers hang on the wind
Paths lead to nowhere
My heart fills with fear
I've been here forever
What if I never get out of here?

(Chorus)
When my spirit fails
May I borrow yours?
When I have no strength left
May I borrow yours?
When your time is cut short
May I lend you mine?
Incomplete made complete together
Accompanied by ghosts in the mist

(Verse 2)
I stumble on a grave
Of a witch long gone
Her dreams unactualized
Her life cut short
Her voice still lingers
A fragment of her soul
Follows me forward

(Chorus)
When my spirit fails
May I borrow yours?
When I have no strength left
May I borrow yours?
When your time is cut short
May I lend you mine?
Incomplete made complete together
Accompanied by ghosts in the mist

(Verse 3)
I spy a radiating light
An illuminated pond
A pool of reflection
Strong magic emanates here
My own visage fractured
A patchwork of spirits
A collection of ideas
We are one

(Bridge)
I have been broken
I have lost pieces of myself
But these holes have made me stronger
For within them live spirits far greater than my own

(Chorus)
When my spirit fails
May I borrow yours?
When I have no strength left
May I borrow yours?
When your time is cut short
May I lend you mine?
Incomplete made complete together
Accompanied by ghosts in the mist
