So a grabbing of another instrumental from our production library site at work, one that I came across and liked recently while looking for music for some radio stuff and saved for future reference.
Well, that future reference then is now, and an attempt to write something to it for a short song.
“Attempt” may be the best way to put it but it works for me.
Flat Earth
I looked out onto the water
To a horizon that’s always just one crest away
It keeps stretching getting further
With every stroke ta-ken
Till soon a-gain
Soon
Just
Another day now
To leave me wonder
Do I even know what I want there
—
If I swim out
To the edge now
Skirting sea demons
But still fall off of this flat earth
Into space
What would I hope to find
—
Maybe a lover
From my immor-tal days
One blithely left behind to fend her heart’s ways
Maybe my father and a proper goodbye
Say sorry for not being there not looking to the
Sky
Or maybe Mother have her wake from her daze
And maybe recognize the world once again
Or am I just treading waves hoping they hold
Long enough
To skirt more demons
Before I fall
—
I looked again now
Onto the water
Horizon still always just one crest away
It keeps stretching getting further
With every stroke ta-ken
Till soon a-gain
Soon
—
Maybe there’s still more air to gasp
Grasp and flail swim up from beneath the heavy waves
Back from off the edge of a flat earth
From space
And swim back
Take on sea demons face to face
