LYRICS:
Faint sun, let it fall
I never tried to take take all you had
But I was wondering, if I could try
Just a little.
Come ocean
Yes you're mine this time
What a relief it will be
to see you spill into the sand.
Withered hands across my face, don't change for me
But you’ll never try again, you know.
Wither hands across my face, don't change for me
But you’ll never try again, you know.
Cling to this flesh.
Is that all you are?
Is that all you care for?
I tried to drain this tapestry
But it’s days go on.
Withered hands across my face, don’t change for me.
But you’ll never try again, never try again, you know
Your withered hands will cross my face, don’t change for me.
You’ll never try again, never try again, you know.
Withered across my face, don’t change for me.
You’ll never try again, never try again you know?
Faded memories along the way, don’t wait for me.
But you’ll never try again, never try to think you know.
I'll never try again, never try to think I know.

Some background on this song:
I wrote this song with a high school band back in 2015. On July 25th 2024, I decided to rerecord the song in a very stripped down and simplified setting. The song is dedicated to my friends Mike and Pat (my old band members)
I used an Ibanez AG95-DBS Artcore Expressionist Series (unplugged, and miced up with a Rode M5 Matched Pair, and a Rode NT2-A).
For voice, I just used the NT2-A
I've been feeling a lot of sad nostalgia recently, and have had this weird feeling that time is moving by too quickly in a very strange way. I'm releasing this song as a way of expressing that.
Have a wonderful day, sincerely.
-Christian
