Mumerings of Assent

You started at the centre.
And it fell apart when we moved you to the outside of our lives.
We can't hold it together any longer.
Could we ever in the first place?

We enjoy music. But should it be a struggle to make it? To create it?
What's the reason anymore?
Why are we here?
What are we here for?

I'm not even trying to rhyme this. I'm just trying to say that we started out as a group when did we go our seperate ways? Somewhere between the chords and words the lines began to fade. And we fell apart. Because it's what we do. And do you want the truth? It's all because we forgot you. The fourth member. Our breath of inspiration. Our hope in this lonely world. We clung to you through the stages. Through the places we played. Through the music. When we thought we were going to lose it. When we found our feet again.
Will we ever rise? Out from the mire we've fallen in. Take one last look at the sky. It's all darkness from here on in.
Yet we can't forget the light. That shines at our footsteps each night. Every dark way, every lonely place, you're always waiting at the crossroads, there's always an escape from all this mess we seem to make.
God, we're lost. Lost on the paths that lead nowhere. And all we hear is the voices in our heads saying we got ourselves here. That it's all because we're not good enough. That everything is our fault. That you don't love us anymore. And they feed us lies on a silver platter but that dosn't matter because it all depends on who we listen to. And surprise surprise there's other voices than the lies. Your voice shines through the fog clouding my eyes. And I can see clearly now that it's fine. Lead me on the paths of righteousness, make my ways straight. Cos we can't do it without you. Never without you again.

"It's what springs to your mind in an instant that's what you've been trying to say for a long time."

Music

Is it something that we have to work at?



Or is it something that just is?

new song!!!

The Only One 

I have a tendency to complicate/ The simpler things in life/ And sometimes I regulate/ By replacing you with I/ Everytime I push you aside/ I wonder why I'm breaking inside
I know that I need you/ Yet sometimes I don't care/ That's not the way things ought to be/ I'm wishing I could make it clear

You're the only thing that matters/ You're the only one that matters/ I'll sing it from my heart/ Because that's the only place to start/ You're the only thing that matters to me

I have a quality of messing up/ Then making a confession/ Am I playing dressing up?/ Or have I learnt my lesson/ That everytime I push you aside/ It just leaves me breaking inside/
And I know that you love me/ Though sometimes I wonder why/ After all you've done, sometimes I still hide/ Can I tell you just what's on my mind?

Everytime I push you aside/ I wonder why I'm breaking inside/ I think I've only just realized/ I need you in my life/ So I'll sing it out tonight

I know that I need you/ Though sometimes I don't care/ That's not the way things ought to be/ I'm wishing I could make it clear

It's awesome when this happens!

We've finally begun writing again! I have to say, its about time. We hadn't really done anything much after Parachute because we were so busy with school and playing the occasional show. Our spot at the show for Christchurch in town went pretty well, if a little disjointed, cos I couldn't hear my guitar and got off time. But it was a great event and good for a jam. Got us a few new fans too! Anyway, we decided it was about time we had something new, as we were getting kind of sick of our old stuff. Not that it's bad, just cos it's old. Hopefully I'll get onto typing up one of our new songs lyrics sometime soon but right now I kind of need to hit the hay before it gets to late. God bless, Jordan
