Echoes of Another Day

Liner Notes
I watched the Trey Anastasio youtube video on songwriting and it inspired me in a few new ways - mainly, "The song will tell you what it's about, if you let it." I went with that approach when trying to develop the lyrical ideas for this one. Certainly not polished but my goal this month is get songs out, don't polish.
Lyrics
Heavy eyes Look ahead to what comes next Never where we’ve been
And there’s time Fix it up and be complete Or let it bury me
Echoes of another day but it’s not the same It’s not the same
Phantom hands That gave to me Now they take from me and pull away
What goes down Finds its way back up Have to get unstuck
But I’ve got this I’ll figure it all out Or maybe scream and shout
And I know it’s there And I’ll Act again Like I’ve got a plan I’ve got a plan
But I can’t pretend I can’t pretend Care has a weight Apathy can’t lift
Wring me out Don’t hang me up to dry Saying “It’s all fine”
Shoe lace knot Masquerade as tragedy Guess I’ll bend a knee
And I’ll climb this hill Made out of sand Get on up and do it again
If I find I did it wrong Bear that thought until it’s raw
So it goes It’s just a phase An echo of another day
Comments
A lot of images and good ideas. I particularly like Shoe lace knot masquerade as tragedy. I also like the title and tag line, echo of another day.
Excellent demo. I like the title! Nice short lines in the lyrics, good phrasing - goes well with the music. Also, thanks for the info on Trey Anastasio in the liner notes - I'll have to check it out.
