The Start

from Aether EP by Featherfall

about

The start of the Aether EP.
But beyond that, it is the start, and the end of so many more things.
My hopes, my dreams, my goals. Have been leading me this way for a long time.
So this is the start for Featherfall, but the end of a long journey for myself.

lyrics

So this is how it starts
with some pain and some scars
With dreams that are dark
These beats and these bars
or whatevers handy
Just some artsy white kid
That grew up on Propagandhi
Cash and some Pip Skid
Not particularly wise
But I've seen some sighs
So I'm going to try to share
My stories with care
So perhaps prepare
As the music consumes
Looms and tares me
Relax and breath in air
Lay down in your room
Its been a rough year
I've got a lot to say
If you want to hear
I've got some hope to trade
If you're buying used
Memories abused
Into rhyme schemes
And vocal streams
I'm bursting at the seams it seems

These rhymes that I'm speaking
are the words that've been leaking
Out of my eyes I'm just tweaking
Them into some with meaning
Not just for me
But for all out at sea
Lost in cold memories
and dreams that blow on the breeze
But I hope these tunes
Can bring warmth
like sand dunes
To a cold march

Music well writ
soothes the souls sick
Thanks to it
thing done with a Bic
I'm still alive here
and I hold that dear
please have some faith
I'm still building pace
This song is a mess
like my dreams I guess
But it gets better
I've seen those letters
arranged that way so many times
That I know when they are lying
And I promise that it can
so hold my hand, make a plan
together we can stand

I want to sell me
Without selling a dream
I want to tell freely
without dancing on beams
I want to speak plain
without metaphorical canes
But I hide behind names
and words that sound the same

These rhymes that I'm speaking
are the words that've been leaking
Out of my eyes I'm just tweaking
Them into some with meaning
Not just for me
But for all out at sea
Lost in cold memories
and dreams that blow on the breeze
But I hope these tunes
Can bring warmth
like sand dunes
To a cold march

This has gone on too long
this song is all wrong
I'll try to make this quick
brisk and switch
through tracks which
with luck'll skip
like old disks
Cause see this
isn't what I wish
I don't have the gift
to write a slick
Musical catharsis
That is Carting this
Broken Car of stiffs
To the far off cliffs
So I write on my wrists
I shoot and I miss
So here it is
I'm just an accomplice
To this a wish to be missed
To show other will be too
to ease suffering and sooth
To use this language
to translate my dreams
Into positive things
To walk through life
with a pen not a knife
To write songs
that belong to all in the throng, before their gone.

So speak with a purpose
Cause know it is worth it
To speak plain and clear
but that requires confronting fear
cause it is scary to speak the truth
following your dream and letting loose
Cause dreams are nightmares
that seem light and caring
Till you are staring down
At all you tried to drown
come back around.
