Steemit open mic week 84 - Paper thin - Original song

Hello Steemiains!

This is my entry for this week's Open mic :)

---

Here are the lyrics:

I don't want remember
that day back in September
had no more hands to play
no final card cliché

You looked for new beginnings
I tried to find new meaning
the bright new shiny wins
forget it all

but I heard
every word
unspoken
I gave myself away
took all that I could

and then I heard
every word
in silence
I lost myself within
my skin was paper thin...

Not many tears have fallen
not many memories remain
so many pieces lost
so many lives uncrossed

My pride behind the fences
I reap the consequences
I try to reach outside
but still I hide

And I heard
every word
unspoken
I gave myself away
took all that I could

and then I heard
every word
in silence
I lost myself within
my skin was paper thin...

I'm sooo excited to finally be able to share this! I've been absent from open mic for a while now, mostly because of time constraints but also because I've been having a difficult time writing music lately.

A couple weeks ago I managed to write this song, but I wanted to record it using loops, so I had to take some time to work out how to make it sound cool. Finally, I finished this at 5 AM and so, here it is :) I hope you enjoy it!!

I'll see you on my next post!
