December is Raucus (Fourth Song: Empty Promise

Do my songs seem to be getting worse? Maybe this thing wasn't such a good idea, leaving me drive of "creativity" and ideas. Or it will for me to be more creative and imaginative, we'll see. Anyway, I couldn't get a good name for the title of this song but here it is.

Empty Promise

My mind is blank and nothing is left to be said
My thoughts are shallow wells in my head
And I'm really tired I need to be in bed
But this emptiness seems to fill me with dread

Chorus:
and I know I really shouldn't continue
Down this broken road but it's the way it's gotta be
I made myself a promise in the depths of my mind
One I plan to keep. One I plan to keep.

Now a desert is forming at the bottom of my sea
But there isn't a cactus, it's only me
Not plants or fish, nothing I care to see
Struggling to survive after diving so deep

Chorus:
And I know I really shouldn't continue
Down this broken road but it's the way it's gotta be
I made myself a promise in the depths of my mind
One I plan to keep. One I plan to keep.

Bridge:
Feelings should surface but I don't feel a thing
My waking moments should be filled with meaning
So I try thinking about the future while I lay under the stars
But I just want to make someone happy, wherever they are

Chorus:
And I know I really shouldn't continue
Down this broken road but it's the way it's gotta be
I made myself a promise in the depths of my mind
One I plan to keep. One I plan to keep.

I wasn't excited about this one, it really felt kind of forced. Maybe because it is 2:25 in the morning and I have pt in two hours...hmmm. Psh, nah!

Good night
Mark
