Description
"The Days When I Could Run And Play" is an excerpt of the newest song that i have written in which ive tried out a couple new ideas. ive been thinking a lot about innocence lately, sort of living in this strange tension of realizing that i am really not anymore, and kind of mourning that. anyway, im trying a couple new things in this song. this is the first song that ive written with a rhyme scheme, which i usually think is cheesy, but i felt like it fit here. and there are the breakdown choruses that are less melodic than i normally write. but i also tried to keep that "dane" sound.
***I know that that there is distortion at the louder parts of the song. my powerbook's internal mic couldnt handle the spl. remember, its just a demo***

Lyrics
stop. i think i’ve gone too far.
i don't know who you are,
but i know reality
and its sick normality.
i’d go back if i could
When I had someone who would
protect me
to keep me free.
security
and i’d stay here forever.
i remember all the days
when i could run and play
and look up to Above
with a simple child love;
when life was like a red balloon;
so soft and simple…
but life goes ‘pop’,
and love grows up.
suction cup.
i'm losing hold of the handle.
i've ruined my whole life.
in darkness, tried to hide
a life of broken dreams
that’s bursting at its seams.
i have pissed on innocence,
and i want to repent.
i'm so sorry
i’m so filthy.
monstrosity
this isn’t who i am.
i'm so sorry
i'm so filthy.
monstrosity
this isn’t who i am.
this isn’t who i am.
but it’s all that you can see,
oh God, this isn’t me.
i don't know who you are,
but i know reality
and its sick normality.
i’d go back if i could
When I had someone who would
protect me
to keep me free.
security
and i’d stay here forever.
i remember all the days
when i could run and play
and look up to Above
with a simple child love;
when life was like a red balloon;
so soft and simple…
but life goes ‘pop’,
and love grows up.
suction cup.
i'm losing hold of the handle.
i've ruined my whole life.
in darkness, tried to hide
a life of broken dreams
that’s bursting at its seams.
i have pissed on innocence,
and i want to repent.
i'm so sorry
i’m so filthy.
monstrosity
this isn’t who i am.
i'm so sorry
i'm so filthy.
monstrosity
this isn’t who i am.
this isn’t who i am.
but it’s all that you can see,
oh God, this isn’t me.

Please do some more recording! I love your songs. Your Blue Elephant
song is on all my mixes! I'm looking forward to hearing this one and
the Airplane song with a better recording. Your lyrics are very good. I
don't think I've ever heard "suction cup" used in a ballad...or any song
for that matter! Nice one.
