Story behind the song
Tired of the same old simple love theme I wanted to come up with something mainstream but still a little different. Watching The Reason video gave me the idea of creating a double-meaning situation. The song''s little piece of originality comes from the two-level story and its reflection in the mood of the music using guitars with untraditional tuning and a lot of reverb/delay. This creates the same atmosphere as The Reason and Admittedly the story-line is just as dark. It's the kind of music that strikes a chord within the few of us that have that sensitivity or not, I guess and it's not a Heavy Metal man's cup of tea!
So hear it is in Demo form created at home with the help of elctronic drums and crash.
Lyrics
I'm a man on the edge ,
Got nothing to lose
You would call me
If you were in my shoes
I'm waiting to hear
Beg for a call
You are the Court
And I'm just the ball
Call!
Chorus:
Everyday people go by my window
Everyday people go by my door
No I can't live if I don't hear from you
NoI can't live another day
Come what may
I've written you letters
And promises too
I regret everything
What more can I do
I'm down on my knees
Please let me walk tall
Don't cold-shoulder me
I'm chained to the wall
Call
Chorus
Time's running against me
Hear the clock tick away
Here's a man of the cloth
But I've nothing to say
My faith is gone
But he can't understand
I can't fight the tide
I'm just a grain in the sand
I look at the priest
There's fear in his face
But I bet my life
He wouldn't take my place
Walk out of my cell
Down that long corridor
Old Sparky's waiting
With a big shock in store
You didn't call
Chorus (twice)
