about

A new version of vocal ideas I entered into a vocal competition for a song by Emery.

lyrics

Are you listening?
No one can paint the world like canvas and brush
But if the audience will listen that's enough?
So is it time that's ticking as I self destruct
So watch the audience as comments pull their punch

Watch as the wolves creep in
Their teeth and tongue clicking // their mouths salivating
Our blood is slow dripping
The waters' trickling in

This was our last chance
This was our last chance
I refuse to dance
If this war our last chance

They're preaching eye for an eye
Now that the whole world's gone blind
No reason, surely no rhyme
So make the time fit the crime

Are you listening?

No one can turn the world to gold with just a touch
Presenting this as something different, call the bluff
I've never been the kind to say "enough's enough"
But counting seconds on the clock, I self destruct

Pennies on the track
There's no turning back
I protec, attac
There's no turning back

The water boils as we swim
So let glad that we let you in
We're ending as you begin
The water heats at your whim

You make this gold
I've been watching
I've been waiting
You've been holding us down

You've got the world believing in you midas touch
But there is no such thing as a free lunch
