rough draft of a song that should be softer, more ornate
recorded completely with the built-in mic of a 2011 Macbook on the lowest quality setting
lyrics
Accept this gift basket
Of my sincerest apologies
Another IOU to redeem
When I have the means
For now just let it slide
The downside of ride or die
Once I recall
Where I fit in
I will renounce
Where I have been
Retrace missteps
Cover my sins
I’ll take the time to rewind
Look sharp for sundry flak
Friendly fire from shooting myself down
I’ll preemptively backtrack
Just to note the mines I’m laying around
Hopscotch with deadly stakes
Race with a crash for brakes
Once I recall
Where I fit in
I will renounce
Where I have been
Retrace missteps
Cover my sins
I’ll take the time to rewind
Employ some slight of brain
To recast the last couple hours
Convolved legerdemain
To conjure sweetness from the sour
Ritualistic majick
It always does the trick
Once I recall
Where I fit in
I will renounce
Where I have been
Retrace missteps
Love covers sins
I’ll take the time to rewind
Once we come to
All will make sense
Hearty relief
Sweet recompense
Tension dissolved
Into past tense
Let’s take the time to unwind
When I come to
I will repent
Ruin the mood
Being penitent
Beg you to name
The required sacrement
I would stop time to rewind
