Question:
Working on a new song here. The build and chorus are set but the verses are still in the works...
Building a Better Martyr
I miss the comfort of being apathetic
Life's so much easier when you're not living it
Pour me out like wine on dry ground
Intoxicate the earth for a moment
Then will you be my eulogy?
Will you be my epitaph?
[build]
I'm tired of dying for myself
I guess I'll die for someone else
Stone me, strike me down
Drag me out of town
I'll die for this, I'll die
[chorus]
Building a better martyr
(repeat)
It's never cool to be innocent
Only breaking rules by accident
I'll break a solemn vow over your sinking ship
And watch the sun extinguish itself
Will you read the eulogy?
It's much too late for that
Answer:
Well, this song is now actually complete. Played it with my band (and by band I mean myself and the drummer), and it worked out really well. So please, critique this song! I would still like to refine the verses. Hopefully I'll have a recording of this one by the end of the month.
Answer:
There's a pretty basic demo of this one up on MySpace right now. Give it a listen and tell me what you think.
