Within and Without

My brand new song. Loud guitars and classic songwriting. I hope you enjoy! Or watch my music video for it HERE.

My original work, inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic "The Great Gatsby"; lyrics follow.

Mid day, locked away
At a crowded party, please untie me
I want to walk the soft twilight.

Then you cross the view,
In the golden hour, your face sour
With nonchalance to guard your pride.

Cause the roles that we play, always in the way,
Like a current parts the waves, will part our course, too.

Im within and without, carrying on without you, baby;
Burned in effigy, photographs and memories.

Champagne pours like rain
Making this light and sound something profound,
As the world fades in double sight.

We crash hard and fast.
Sad with the irony, Im last leaving,
As we all part ways to the night.

Our wants they still elude us, we chase them endlessly.
So, were reaching ever further. Still, they again recede.
So, we press on even harder to collapse tragically,
Cursed by lifes variety.

Cause the roles that we play, always in the way,
Like a current parts the waves, tore us apart.

Im within and without, carrying on without you, baby;
Burned in effigy, photographs and memories.
Within and without the roles that we play,
Like a current parts the waves they part our course, too.
