"Woke up in the middle of the night / This song in my head"

RESURECTED Words and music by Marius Raphaelius To S.S. Once I was happy This girl, she was everything to me She was just beautiful And I took her for granted Mistook passion for a binding thing. Went off with the band On this incredibly absorbing longer than expected jamming trip Phone dead for days on end When I finally got back someone had taken my seat! Felt dead for days. Didn't sleep. Hardly ate. Barely breathed. Decided to stay away. But still all I did was dream of the day our love would be resurected. * * * Years, decades later Woke up in the middle of the night This song in my head Too tired to get up and write Just analysed the harmony And that took me right back to sleep. In the morning Rat race restarted Driving to work Thinking of work The road and the present unreeling in the front But these strange sights and sounds still lingering in the back of my mind L i k e d i s t a n t e c h o e s o f t h e p a s t Sad remnants of almost love long lost time and a word resurected. Once I was happy This girl, she was everything to me She was so beautiful... I went off with the band When I got back someone had taken... Felt dead for days... Decided to stay away. But still all i did was dream... Just because we were twenty four! Years, decades later Woke up in the middle of the night This song in my head. In the morning Rat race restarted... But this voice This face This chord progression This wanting This love This melodic obsession... Just how much more screwed up can your creative process get! (C) 2013 Marius Raphaelius
