Weekly Song Post number 152, 'Punching Trees'

This is an acoustic demo of a new song that the band and I are working on for the next album. Recorded on my trusty Zoom recorder.

lyrics

bound to crack some eggs when you're hatching plan
I'm breaking dirty, I got hatchet hands
there's more than one way to get across
I'm riding backdraft, tossing matches like a boss

small mind fit inside small frame
hanging big picture on the walls of my brain
adjust the angle of the view
till the colors pop and the sound rings true

ear to the ground, rumble pulling me down the road
that siren song got me locked in like Hypnotoad
I'm moving forward, I've gathered my wits
they're tied up in a kerchief at the end of a stick

how lucid is the dream
how tight is the stitch of the seam
there's glue in everything
there aint no meant to be

carving a fit for my frequency in the mix
high pass the mud, notch filter my niche
eyes peeled, poised to grab the glitch
0 10 01 get it in

I got feet in my shoes and a new attitude
abide like The Dude when life gets rude
I'm punching trees, gathering building blocks
plucking the fruit of hard knocks

glasses on my nose, chewing on some prose
songbird takes life from the worm in the rose
I'm building flight on the meat of the blight
tossing tunes like a kite to catch a higher sight

how lucid is the dream
how tight is the stitch of the seam
there's glue in everything
there aint no meant to be
