Where do you make these songs? Is it a program on your computer?
Posted: 7/21/2003, 1:42 pm
Well, I haven't done it in awhile, but yeah, I've got an electronic keyboard that I can hook up to my computer and mess around with sounds in a program called Melody Assistant. Since I've been living in the dorms, though, my keyboard's in storage, and it's very difficult for me to write music without being able to play it, so my creative outlets have been unfortunately diminished.

i've been writing for 2 years now, but i can never seem to get too many songs all finished off and recorded...there's never enough time to go around. anyway, this is one that i did finish recently. i think it's pretty self-explanitory. sorry for the long-ness; i kinda got carried away. hopefully one has at least a 7 minute attention span...

redux
soldiers song
this gas mask is a vacancy
i've watched you cry and i've seen you bleed
you've replaced yourself with what you need
and now you hang there crucified
by your own ugly butterfly
left and right are not concise
we perceive their false consensus
marching in place with glassy eyes
and the tower of lies condenses
who are you, what do you know?
the branding iron starts to glow
is it worth your life, flying from a pole?
and aint it fucking hard to salute the flag
from the inside of a body bag?
you're not afraid though you've got much to fear
as the bayonet draws ever near
i can't be the one whose saving you
your eyes are closed and so you lose
you'll never get away from here
unless you close your mouth and open your ears
and as much as it terrifies me to say
that i've got to leave i cannot stay
you're too scared to fail so you never try
you refuse to live because you're afraid to die
and i'm so sick of telling you lies
and all those lives that you thought you saved
have earned you a spot in a shallow unmarked grave
while they profit from the life you gave
your sacrifice is for their gain
your purple heart stopped it's beating in vain
the battle's over and the war is won
but what the fuck have you really done?
the celebration is illusory
it's all a farce there is no victory
so act like a candidate and fucking run
the whole deadly game is zero sum
but it's too late for so many sons
their soldiers song has already been sung
so who do you trust, where do you go?
as the tyranny starts to overflow
it's not worth your life, it's a fucking rag on a pole.
and aint it too fucking hard to salute the flag
from the insde of a bloody body bag.
