Life on the Bottom Shelf
She came in a roaring train
Passing by she’s wandering rain
At least she’s not pretending
They weren’t too understanding
I lit her fire with only one flame
Second chances aint a part of the game.
We once were 400 miles from, 400 miles from the sun
Burning up, sold her life for bargain and I still don’t own my own
Still don’t own my own
When I left I told that girl
Keep your ankles clean and your hair curled
She told me without saying a word
That’d be the last time I saw her
Curse the mirrors reflecting the pain
Forgotten silence aint a part of the game
We once were, falling off the center of, falling off the center of the earth
Holding on, don’t know how much longer I will be hanging round
I thought I’d partake in this mess
Instead of just playing the witness
If it weren’t me it’d be somebody else
Well that’s just life on the bottom shelf
See how people become only names
Remembering faces aint a part of the game
Along side of learning some new tunes, we are in the process of revamping some older material. Even though I wrote this song over a decade ago, it's still fun to play and rework. The video was produced by our good friend, sick alt guitarist, and video artist David Baird. The audio is straight from the board, so the acoustic and vocals are totally dry, but it is cool. Although I prefer reverb, the dryness makes it sound really organic.
It's all a learning process and we get better one practice at a time. This band has been together off and on since 2001, so we are grateful to play music with our good friends for this long. We want to thank all of you who have supported us over the years. Having a little extra income from Steemit posts will certainly help with our recording efforts, so if you dig what you're hearing, please vote, resteem, spread the love, and we will be sure to continue posting bits of our musical quest.
Furthermore, any comments and criticism is also greatly encouraged and appreciated.
Thanks so much, take care and God bless.
