In Order to Progress

[iHATEapril]

I sat myself alone
And pressed all of the keys
Felt time change its tone
And look at what it got me
A night under a window
And a future of uncertainty
A face that makes me shake
Or perspire upon intake
The people we betray
Are not as fake as the great lovers we portray

Upon the nights of change
We all feel the wind upon our face
As the world has its way
And takes us to the proper place
Or at least somewhere safe
Or at least somewhere to incubate
Growing into something beautiful
Is very give and take

We’ve been written unabridged
Shown as we are in color
To be changed so we may be considered
As toys for one another
We’re a dying race of compassion
she proclaims quietly
We’ll be gone before we’re fashioned
To the tools we’re supposed to be

We’ll be the children of the day
If it means we fade under the moon
We’ll consider ourselves empty
If it means that we'll survive these games
We’ll play along if necessary
To the benefit of each other
And If I’m meant to be sold off
I will do so for my lover

This encompasses everything
This is what we’re to one another
If I’m not meant to shed my being
I’ve been doing so for nothing

The chorus? If it isn't a chorus, it should be. Even if it's just done twice.

I really really like this. Good work.

I don't tend to specify or use choruses, they don't normally fit my songs.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

When I was writing it, that was aimed to be a chorus if I used one.

How can you write songs like this(I mean, I understand if they're structured more like a folk song or what not) and not have a chorus? Send me some of your original songs on AIM.

That is excellent, truly excellent

[Myuzik]

I love the song :wow:

[iHATEapril]

Thanks everyone, it's the first song I've written in a week or two so it's great to see a great response.
