Green, Gold & Azure
A quirky track I found this morning while perusing my G-mail archives. Originally recorded back in 06’ as part of a songwriting lesson involving the 7 deadly sins and Old Man Winter. This creepy medley speaks for itself. (Lyrics Below)
Pailer than april’s loathsome grimace
with wrought iron finish
i’ll forever retire
to frost heave and desire
which now burns the knuckles of my fists
so its green gold and azure
or dead dulled and grey,
what heartless bastard
ever assumed i would happily live this way?
Life should be spent,
chalk full of frolic and whimsy
and yet, i sleep without rest
tossed aside by the fate of a spiraling
misguided capsizing ship
filled with useless expressions to vent my contempt
at a state that was meant for some other poor sucker
of obvious ominous angst and regret
so give me one evening
alone with the wretch
and i’ll do the rest
wring his thin little neck
and i’ll sleep in the shade
on the warmth of the day
tickling the backs of the daisy at play
so its green gold and azure
or dead dull and grey
what heartless bastard
ever assumed this burlesque was an even trade?
Oh, And for the Record- Yes, this tune will be rerecorded soon. No, I’m not “a little too in to showtunes.” And Yes, this will be appearing on an upcoming album with similarly themed creeper anthems. GODSPEED.
