This one is an oldie written back in high school and left unrecorded until now. At one point, I played it with Declaration as a full band with the distortion and full drums kicking in after the second chorus. Keeping it acoustic gives it a little different feel but I think it works.
When I wrote it, I had something in mind of the Lit song “Miserable.”
So, I guess you could call it acoustic/emo/punk? I think it’s a product of it’s time.
lyrics
We’re all, we’re all here begging on our knees for you
Silent, silent spaces left for us to wonder
I needed more, my time has come
Again I cry
What can I do, I need someone to tell me why
Falling, falling faster I think I lost my place
Happily, ever after a smile on your face
I needed more, my time has come
Again I cry
What can I do, I need someone to tell me why
I needed more, my time has come
Again I cry
What can I do, I need someone to tell me why
I needed more, I needed more
I needed more, I needed more
