… Breakaway … (lyrics)

I got things rolling today by recording some acoustic guitar and vocals for the song “Breakaway”.

It’s kind of funny to be singing a song and creating it as you record. I’ve always written music in this way in form or another (four track demos and such). I like making decisions as I record, instead of planning everything out to meticulously before hand. It leaves me open to different possibilities.

This song is inspired by the Uncertainty Principle, duality and transcending impossible barriers.

Breakaway

Like a wave
Like a wave
Travels through the emptiness
Like a wave
In this way we all give up our places
Here
Breakdown
Breakout

Half awake
Half awake
Like the way we lived before
Half awake

In this way we all mean something
Hiding away
Don’t ever let them change you
Breakdown
Breakout
Breakthrough

Breakaway
Breakaway
Like a particle of light
Like a wave
In this way we all mean something
Hiding away
Don’t ever let them change you
Breakdown
Breakout
Breakthrough

Everybody wants to get this new world over with
Everyone except for you
Just pick it up and use what you started with
What are you afraid to do?
We’ll throw a party for the cruel and the ignorant
Everyone’s invited to
And when we’re ready for a total disarmament
What will there be left of you?
