Im trying to polish off my album in the next couple of days so of course decided to add a 20 minute medley at the last second. I’m hoping to record this tomorrow. The suite is in essence about the struggles of life with this detailing… well hopefully it’s bleeding obviously. It’s true to life so I don’t want to change much but any suggestions are welcome. It will be a short/simple piano piece.
A bag of bones in a sack of skin
The nurse didn’t even say which room you were in
Lights are off
And the shadows loom
My mummy in her royal tomb
You barely flicker
But eyes meet mine
“I’m scared my boy”
I gulp, don’t cry
“You have been the best mum
A boy could ever know”
And I will stay right here
Until you’re ready to go
I take your hand
Cold and worn
All because a life is born
You endure and struggle
Just to die where you begin
A bag of bones in a sack of skin
