Futility Sought

Its been a lil while since i've posted lyrics. I've been completely unwilling to get anything fucking ackomplished but luckily this song had enough steam on it to get finished. Here is basically the first draft of the lyrics, which i think work pretty well.

It was an idea that just came to me randomly like most of my ideas do. It was after using hte bathroom and looking into the mirror at this library last weekend.

Futility sought



Who is that standing in the mirror?
Wrinkled, aged, now just worthless
Please just give him more time
If only he had one more try

Verse
You
Will get another chance tonight
You
Merit just 24 hours
Make
Use of your youth, but
Make
Peace with the truth

Chorus
This is what you've asked for
Now shed away all those tears
The waste gained is what is real
Raise the strength to face all your fears

Verse

Try
To make up for lost time
Try
To change what is right
Now
You'll see you were blind
Now
You see holding too long is erroneous

Chorus
This is what you've asked for
Now shed away all those tears
The waste gained is what is real
Raise the strength to face all your fears


Only a few moments left
Time always creeps unknowingly
And a life was still subject to waste
Give him thy soul so he may know rest


Who is that standing in the mirror?
Wrinkled, aged, now just worthless
Please just give him more time
Too little is given and then we die

I'm getting lots of tunage from this piece. The only thing I'd change is the word "thy." It's not necessary to me, but not that big of a deal. Anyways, I liked this and all the music it was giving me. I liked hearing the inspiration, too. It sure comes at odd times in odd places sometimes.

Glad you liked it. I already recorded the whole thing and maybe i'll post it soon. This song went from starting as a really melodic piece to a pretty hard driving steady fast paced song. (even though the tempo remained unchanged.)

That's the type of vibe I'm getting from it so I'm anxious to hear if we came up with similar ideas. Cool.
