THANKS to songsthatcry for writing the lyric that reminded me of this lyric I wrote about two years ago. I had forgotten about it. He triggered the memory with a neat little lyric about a guy in a coma whose mind we are reading through the lyric. Very similar to this in a way. Anyway.... thanks.
I wrote the music (and it's been so long I can't even remember how I wrote it.) I'm pretty sure it's music I wrote for a happy little song and it was a little too gloomy. I started adding new lyrics, and the first thing that came to me was the "float near the ceiling" and I had a clear sense of an out of body experience. After that, it probably didn't take twenty minutes to finish the lyric. It practically wrote itself. I won't tell you what it's about beyond that. I'll let the lyric speak for itself if it will. It wasn't until I was done that the lyric reminded me a lot of my Dad's attitude when he died.... but it really wasn't about him until then.
www.reverbnation.com/HTMworksinprogressI'll post a link to the song tomorrow if I can get it to load right. Posting it here because I'm pretty sure the lyric is the strength of the song.
TIME WILL SOON TELL.
VERSE:
I float near the ceiling, look down on my body
lying so calm and so still on my bed.
Feeling no dread, there's no fear in my heart.
Curiosity holds my attention instead.
VERSE:
Don't really know if I'll make it til morning.
Don't really mind if the answer is "no."
Got no regrets, wouldn't do nothing different.
If my time is over, I'm ready to go.
CHORUS:
I don't know if God's in his Heaven's
Can't say for sure that the Devil is real.
Condemn if you must I'm no good at pretending.
the one thing I know is the way that I feel.
POST CHORUS:
I'm ready for God if he's ready for me.
I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
BRIDGE
Got no illusions bout knowing the future.
No expectations bout Heaven or Hell.
Got no illusions bout living forever.
Anyway Time will soon tell.
Anyway Time will soon tell.
Anyway Time will soon tell.
CHORUS:
I don't know if God's in his Heaven's
Can't say for sure that the Devil is real.
Condemn if you must I'm no good at pretending.
the one thing I know is the way that I feel.
BRIDGE - 2 :
I'm ready for God if he's ready for me.
I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
BRIDGE TO OUT:
No expectations bout heaven or Hell.
Anyway Time will soon tell.
