A new one for the files I guess. Please excuse the background noise and audible breathing.

You can also find the pianos, (synth) cello, and harpsichords for the taking here. Pianos are a bit sloppy on the choruses. You’ve been warned ;)

Oh, and the key this was written in is B-flat-minor. Not that you have to use that key, but I know there is some talky singing and it can make it hard to tell.

Lyrics:

Give it up already, you can’t fight
Faced with a fear like this,
You know it’s too late
Take it back to the start now,
Finish it up right,
Boy, you can’t argue with insanity.

What did I do to deserve this?
What did I say in another lifetime to you
to make you want to change me now?
What can I do to show you my ways have changed
and I’m not the brutal incantatrix
you make me out to be?

You speak, and I don’t hear a thing
Your lips move with no sound
I try to hold on to your words but still
I hear nothing
You say I don’t feel a thing
Inside of me is just stone
You want to crack that shell but
it’s no use,
I feel nothing.

Spell it out right down to the letter
You know we’ve done everything we could do
this time
Feel a little of my soul seeping out
Black hole, gather them up and
arrange them around me.
Is it too late to start a new storybook now that the old one’s been carried away with the tide?
(You read it, it’s already in you)

You speak, and I don’t hear a thing
Your lips move with no sound
I try to hold on to your words but still
I hear nothing
You say I don’t feel a thing
Inside of me is just stone
You want to crack that shell but it’s no use
I feel nothing.
