C: 365 is where I will be publishing the results of an eperiment in songwriting. I will be posting one full lyric up, per day, for a year. Every day.
My aim is to explore the themes that recur in lyrics, as experiences are had and attitudes and ideals develop and evolve, as well as to monitor how I personally develop, as a lyricist.

The official experiment starts on January 1st, 2010.

Day 2: OCB

So far, I'm seeing reocurring references to falling unconscious and a few references to weather habits. Interesting(?).

OCB


Open the curtain, the sunlight should pour in, cleansing you…
Your photographs have all blurred out, they're,
Bleached from being left out,
Open in view…
Open your backdoor,
Step out into the world that you fear…
One foot for the other, it's,
A dream that just keeps you, waking, and shaking with fear, and,

I'm breathing out of habit, now, I don't,
Smile anymore,
I've got a head filled up with enemies,
Assault reports, and this,
House is filled with faceless ghost's,
They haunt me every day,
They keep me up at night times…

Open your notebook, you,
Always knew which words to write to make me…
Bend and break and fall for you,
like leaves in November, undressing and, decaying again, I am,
Talking out of courtesy, I'm not,
Into this drive,
I'll fall asleep to pass the miles,
I'll dream of passing out on, bathroom tiles,
These fucking phantoms scare me blind, I,
Can't see a thing,
Can't see a way…
