about

I wrote this song on my birthday. It was also the day I got my first bird tattooed on my forearm.
That morning I decided to turn the radio quickly on and off again and whatever word I made out would be the catalyst for a song that day, and I was not to leave my house until it was finished...
The word was "rubber-band", and this is the song...

lyrics

She's got a rubber-band around her heart
to keep from falling apart
she takes it all so hard
tries to fix it
she doesn't know where to start
She's got a new tattoo
it marks the years
that just keep passing
it's black and shady
just like her fears
she just keeps stashing away

How do you keep
from falling asleep
into an endless night
when do you know
it's gonna be alright...

she's got a million songs
they just need writing
fancy words like silhouettes in the sun
they just keep hiding
She's got a million friends
they just keep leaving
but she'll keep the photographs beside her bed
to bring her sweet dreams

When do you stop believing
that things will turn out how you planned
when do you realize
that everything
must come to an end...
