Well, my supposedly the Novel (notice the italics and the capitalization) contains songs. Original ones, because, you know, my main character is a singer-songwriter. Taking into account that my main characters are an extension of my near-schizophrenic personas, this means I have to be a songwriter, if not a singer.
Let's put it this way: I don't know the first rules of poetry and songwriting. My vocabulary with the guitar is severely limited, so while I can entertain the delusion that my prose is good, I cannot honestly say that singing and songwriting are simply vanity projects.
Anyway, usually, when I pick up the guitar to play a song, I try chording and strumming variations, and lyrics will start appearing. Not all the time, but only occasionally.
I hope to have enough songs for the novel, maybe not a whole album's worth, but an EP. This is the second completed song for the novel (the first being "Too Late").
You don't have to press play. I'm not even a half-decent guitarist/singer.
step by step
you head into the sunlight
away from the darkness
you walk away from me
breath by breath
you find your way there
destination unknown
far away from home
should you fall apart
into a million pieces
I’ll make you whole again
I’ll mend you broken wings
but should you fly away
where the wind will carry
I’ll wait here by the sidelines
I’ll be your home
mile by aching mile
the distance come between us
will you ever look back
or will history be forgotten
should you fall apart
into a million pieces
I’ll make you whole again
I’ll mend you broken wings
but should you fly away
where the wind will carry
I’ll wait here by the sidelines
I’ll be your home
