Something I've been working on. The idea is that little lie that everyone tells: "I'm okay" My first project to start with lyrics first, rather than guitars. I've been sick as hell, so I'll be rerecording the singing at some point, though I'd be interested in working with someone who is more talented than myself in that regard. Any thoughts / opinions / criticisms appreciated. Lyrics (not set in stone): What's wrong? I ask when it's all I can say from the words and the thoughts far away oh hey, you could make my day if you take off the mask let me shatter the glass and with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face everything just seems so out of place and it's not right, the typical lies that she cries from inside as she tries to hide by saying I'm ok, believe me and you'll see everything is fine She's blinded, reminded She finds it hard to say what we both know When you've traveled a place so cold where they say all that glitters is gold but no, its just covered in snow and it shines in the light as it quivers with fright and you asked me to tell you, asked me to say that everything's gonna be alright and if nothing else, it's all I want to believe, as i find myself screaming I'm ok, believe me and you'll see everything is fine I'm blinded, reminded I find it hard to face what I don't wanna know That there's no escape and the world just breaks apart And I am powerless defenseless and alone and I find myself singing I'm ok, believe me (and you asked me to tell you, asked me to say) and you'll see everything is fine (that everything's gonna be alright) I'm blinded, reminded (and if nothing else,) I find it hard to face what I don't wanna face (it's all I want to believe) and I find myself singing I'm ok, believe me (and you asked me to tell you, asked me to say) and you'll see everything is fine (that everything's gonna be alright) I'm blinded, reminded (and if nothing else,) I find it hard to face the truth and it's wrong (it's all I want to believe)
I don't like the song much 'cause that's just really not my genre ... but you've got lyrics there that, to me, do not read terribly in print. I like them.
