Battle Lines Week One - Day One



Today's song, Battle Lines was written around a chord progression that I came up with a while back and recorded live to computer with only harmonica overdubbed. I wrote it and recorded it this morning.

Battle Lines

Look at all the time
We’ve been wasting
Closing every door

Never finding time
Just complacent
Just another chore

You know what to do
Fighting off the truth
Hiding in the ruins
Like a war

Battle lines are drawn
With weapons waiting
Sure enough to fight

Inconsistent calm
Interrupted
By implements of spite

You know what to do
Fighting off the truth
Hiding in the ruins
Like a war

Sometimes
You can see the sense in our warring
At night where the fear survives

You know what to do
Fighting off the truth
Hiding in the ruins
Like a war

Look at all the time
We’ve been wasting
Closing every door
