THERE'S A SADNESS IN MY HEART

i've been working all day on finishing songs i've had half written for ages. i have so many half finished songs that whenever i hit the inevitable roadblock in one, i start to just cycle through all the bits and pieces of the other songs until i've wasted enough time to feel like i deserve a break.  breaks usually consist of cruising the internet. getting a snack. heating up old coffee. searching for good kitten pictures... blogging... you know.. really good stuff.

i've made a list of all my half finished songs. and this morning i chose one of them to work on. the song is called 'there's a sadness in my heart'.. which is kind of a long title.. and maybe should change.. but i'll worry about that later (thumbs up to putting things off, yessssss)

these are the lyrics i have so far:

------------------------------------------------

there's a sadness in my heart

it trickles down my spine

it burns a hole right through my chest

onto the other side

now it's living in my lungs

it's building it's home there

and with every single breath i take

(insert brilliant line that rhymes with 'there') <-- i worked on this section of the song for like an hour and came up with a bunch of bad ideas.. got discouraged and, naturally started playing through other songs instead. 

we're living on the devils land

we're planting our crops there

we're drinking down his poison

we're drinking from his well

but any night in summer

once that golden sun has set

he'll take you hand in dance

and boy, he'll help you to forget you're singing

so if you see him riding in the setting sun

and if you feel it hiding in your lungs

ask yourself if dying sounds like fun

cause you can only forget your troubles for so long

until they're all you got and you're left singing their song

------------------------------------------------

so that's what i've got so far... and if i can keep myself from getting too distracted (read: facebooking) than maybe i'll actually finish it today. THAT WOULD BE A MIRACLE

sorry this was actually the most boring post ever. this post was me wasting time and in turn wasting your time. sorry.
