jc (or jx) says: So your friend and mine @tcelliott sent me a lyric and gave me permission to do whatever with it. Thanks TC, here's whatever. 😀
Oh, and I was doing laundry and left that in so you could join me. In my laundering. Start folding.
tc says: Whoa! To hear what my lyrical idea turned into is the surprise of my sub zero morning. I'm more than happy with how this turned out. Thank you!
Lyrics
V (starts on A note)
D2 A7sus
I… Don't know why
E7 D
I keep trying… doubts abound
Locked in a room… of my creating
Shouts are fading…. whispered down
No…. one can hear me
That’s my theory… one of thousands
Chorus
E A
I have the map, I have the key
F E
I keep hiding it from me… hiding it from me
E F
Disheveled and distracted, eventually alone
Am G F
Searching for locations still unknown
D2 A7sus
I… I’m a liar
E7 D
I conspire… and play the fool
My… oh my… only wisdom
This damaged system… betrayed and bruised
No…. one comes near me
No one can see me… fading blue
[Repeat Chorus]
Bridge
G F
Someone told me two or three times over
Am E
But I’ve forgotten now… forgotten how
G F
Round and round on one and one half broken wings
Am E F G
Labored spiraling… breaking nearly everything
D2 A7sus
I… I grow weary
E7 D
Of seeing clearly... through the lie
½ Chorus
E A (or Am)
I have the map, I have the key
F E
I keep hiding it from me… hiding it from me
