about

I was playing around with my guitar trying to better my finger picking skills. Then all of a sudden I was picking the intro riff and felt that this is clearly something to work on.
I didn't have to think much about what to do with the song 'cause it all just popped into my head. Most part of the song was written in about 20 minutes. It's great when you all of a sudden just know what a new song should be like, it's more like you just play it to yourself for the first time rather than writing it.

lyrics

I bet there's nothing I can say to make you change
You're out of range
I disarrange
It's true that nothing's quite the same
Out of your aim
and out of frame
You've lost your flame
I've spent so many years
to learn that there is nothing left to fear
I'm out of here
I'm in the clear

Storm after storm
Love won't regrow
Born in the dark
We were made to fall apart
From the start

It seems to me that every secret we regret we never kept
spoiled our youth
We lost the truth
And since we're liars in denial we believe in what is right
we've seen the light
We're all alright
We spend so many years contaminating everything we are
It's gone to far
I'm just a scar
