The Ringings Only In My Head

Think of a slow, somber, acoustic melody that changes key alot.

(Verse 1)
Ive made a mess of myself again
Kept my eyes open far to late
I took a walk around a block
With no one, to a house that wasn't mine

Where a TV screen filled her room
Pouring static into the street
Hands clasped around a phone
Hoping you'd waste a thought on me

(Chorus)
Ive been lost for awhile
And im fine with never
Going home

Lets run away together
and whisper dreams,
Meet our friends in Mexico

Itd be so much better
Than whatever
We'd leave behind here

(Verse 2)
Our money will last longer there
And we'll never have to worry
About where we're gonna sleep
Because we'll keep each other company

The sunlight will pour down on us
Unobstructed by walls of smoke
And we'll breathe fresher air
Then we ever did back where we grew up

(End chorus)
Ive been lost for awhile
And Im fine with never
Looking back

I'd run far as the ocean
Long as you're there
To hold my hand

All that the past
Has offer are regrets
That I refuse to keep

(Verse 3)
But the phone never lit up and rang
Your voice never came through
And I awoke the next morning
Knowin my dream would never come true

You had left three weeks before
But you hadn't taken me
Since then Ive got drunk every night
And fallen asleep to the same wishing dream

awesome. It had a noticable and very strong meaning. Great visuals too. I just loved it

Gnomes, i udnerstand you want to let out your true emotion on this one but couldn't have made it a little less "outgoing"... seriuosly. This wasn't my favourite from you, but still impressive values any way, exept how outgoing it was about the emotion. Visual was alirght and stuff...

Good,



Demon

I thought I might get this reaction from you on this one, which is why I put it out with the other oen at the same time I appreciate your input however as always Demon, I agree it lacks some subtlely which I may work on

Thanks everyone else for the positivity

I think this is almost perfect. Change this bit: "I'd run far as the ocean
Long as you're there To hold my hand", and you've got it.

I love the specific imagery eg. Mexico, TV, little details like how long the money will last. This bit tore at my heart: 'Hoping you'd waste a thought on me'.

Can we hear? Please?
