When this vocal melody popped into my head, I was thinking Black Sabbath. I wanted the vocal to be pretty aggressive, the music to be a mix of heavy and light with a mood that was angry and relaxed. With some mystery mixed in here and there, it all holds together nicely. It's a different track all together than anything I've created.
lyrics
Oh you I’ve seen you before
Too many times too many times
Too many but this time
I’m not going to leave you here
Do you hear me? No!
No, I want you here next to me
Yeah no I want you here next to me
Silent of the night
We were dreaming under covers
Fading veil of night
Was closing in on these two lovers
Shining came the light
To my eyes like never before
Yeah I want you here next to me yeah (To me, to me, to me, to me)
Yeah I want you here next to me oh (To me, to me, to me, to me)
Yeah I want you here next to me oh
Like never before
The lights glow down as I stroll into
The same damn room that you’re in too
My eyes had closed my eyes half crossed
My eyes ain’t sad they’re just pissed off
I’d wrap my hands around your neck
And squeeze them until I choke you to death
But that seems like a waste of time at best
I can’t even tell you how I feel
You burned my soul and it won’t heal
And now I feel like crying
Yeah I want you here next to me
Yeah
My head tips down from the weight of my eyes
This sour soul melts into a puddle of why’s
The only reason here that I had to be
Was when you were around to set me free
I’d wrap my arms around your back
And squeeze you close until you crack
Now is that the way of lust or a fact
I can’t even tell you how I feel
You burned my soul and it won’t heal
