Pitch

I want you to validate my latest fear,
The sphinx has risen,
Smiling from ear to ear,
The great destroyer,
Cataclysmic gyre,
Is movie towards us,
over here.

The falcon can't hear the falconer's cry,
The sea is red with blood,
drained from the sky,
and all the best people- Defy
Their nature, they kill, as the worst float by.

A rocking cradle woke the sleep of death,
and after this time, there is no more breath,
For the Second Coming's risen with a new wrath,
worse than the sphinx,
it'll be
a
blood
bath


The song thats been in the making for what seems like aeons finally has lyrics, I'm proud to have written them, in a moment of clarity after reading The Second Coming by Yeats.

I had been singing another work in progress, at practice Friday, but it was just yesterday that my boyfriend had told me, over Mediterranean Pitas, that I'm not singing right. I had gotten a bit mad, the boys seem to be focusing on the sounds of the music alone, ignoring a problem that I hadn't been aware of, something they should tell me so I don't keep doing it until it becomes stuck that way. Hopefully the next practice will be better, a the mistakes I'm making will be fixed...Maybe I should look into singing lessons...

WISE is going well, I am writing my first short, which is going to be set in "the woods" about a feral girl ...I've been reading a lot of magical realism, its inspired me. This should be fun to start, I used to make costumes when I was younger, now I get to start again.
