Description
This song is about interrupted friendships. It was more of a personal challenge to see if I could compose something that was keyboard-centric. This is the first song I've done that didn't involve a lick of guitar. I'll admit I'm not a piano player so I hope it turned out OK.

Lyrics
As quick as it came it went away
Leaves me here with not much left to say
Now in my darkest hour I stay
Praying for escape
I wish I could take back yesterday
The joyful feelings that it once gave
So many friends lost along the way
I hope their souls are safe
One was searching for true love
Thought he'd found her but she gave up
Couldn't bear the thought of moving along
So took a gun in his hand...now both are gone
One was just out for some fun
Thought he'd found it in the drugs he'd done
Just a little more before crawling to bed
As the sun arose he woke up dead
I'm reaching for heaven
But find that I'm stumbling
Though I keep on searching for a piece of solid ground
Just hope that I make it 'cause I'm tired of faking
Through another day pretending everything's OK
Leaves me here with not much left to say
Now in my darkest hour I stay
Praying for escape
I wish I could take back yesterday
The joyful feelings that it once gave
So many friends lost along the way
I hope their souls are safe
One was searching for true love
Thought he'd found her but she gave up
Couldn't bear the thought of moving along
So took a gun in his hand...now both are gone
One was just out for some fun
Thought he'd found it in the drugs he'd done
Just a little more before crawling to bed
As the sun arose he woke up dead
I'm reaching for heaven
But find that I'm stumbling
Though I keep on searching for a piece of solid ground
Just hope that I make it 'cause I'm tired of faking
Through another day pretending everything's OK

... it has lots of potential? But it really has. I like the piano
line and the voice. Really simple and rhythmic with a good
tune and good lyrics. (though the jokey "as the sun arose
he woke up dead" doesn't work for me) I don't like the
other keyboard(s)? It gets in the way. What about another
instrument in there to lift it? Guitar? And "I'm reaching for
heaven..." sounds like a chorus, especially with the
doubled vocal. What about bringing that in earlier? Nice
though.
