Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup...

Again, I haven't written the music yet, and I'm sure I'll rearrange some of the words and lines, but I'm calling it: I wrote another new song. So, in this month alone, that's two more than I wrote all of last year. (Well, two more sets of lyrics anyway.)

It's been fun and rewarding to challenge myself like this again, thinking of rhymes and cooler-sounding synonyms. And a lot of alliteration and assonance. Awesome.

I also like repetition a lot. I said, I also like repetition a lot.

Sarah Says

Sun has set, the stars are out
Moonlight shines on Sarah's house
Otherwise the street is dark
Open windows, broken hearts

Full of life but also hollow
Sarah steps, the spotlight follows
Otherwise the street is dead
Open arms and empty head

Sarah says she thinks she knows
Where the road you're taking goes
Sarah says what Sarah means
You're asleep while Sarah dreams

Sarah should've spoken up
Sarah should've spoken up
Sarah should've spoken up
Better now but broken up

Beat by beat and blow by blow
Sarah's feet in stereo
Otherwise the street is hers
Open doors and empty words

Listen to the leaves she sweeps
Jesus cries and Sarah weeps
Otherwise the street is dust
Open eyes and broken trust

Sarah says she isn't lost
Stars and streets and signals crossed
Sarah says what she believes
Wish I may that Sarah leaves

Sarah never said a thing
Sarah never said a thing
Sarah never said a thing
Open road and broken wing

(and etc.)
