MY LIFE EVERYDAY - 8/25/09

--- this was written as a sort of testimonial for christian, one of the lead characters in LAN'ded. i went into it feeling a very david yazbek vibe. for a first draft, i'm pretty happy with it. after putting some music to the words, i think it has a bit too much "twang" to it but hey, that's what second drafts are for. anyway, enjoy. :)

"MY LIFE EVERYDAY"
Christian
A SECTION
Any distance can be a journey
if you're not accustomed to the trail,
and I'd waltz right down that hallway
if I was sure I wouldn't fail.

So I'll stay inside and press continue
Just the same as yesterday.
Don't look at me with your pity
This is my life everyday.

I wake up and check my mail here
Look, everyone's my friend
And with all the work I've piled up
I'm afraid there's no room for pretend

And while I'd love to get fired up in a musical soiree
I'm more content with my comics
This is my life everyday.

B SECTION
Don't think that I'm sullen,
don't think that I'm sad.
This way of life isn't just passing through
and I don't see it as a fad.

A SECTION
50 feet can seem like miles
if inside is all you know.
It doesn't bother me cause
I don't think that I have to grow.

So I'll chill inside with a red bull and all my superfriends.
Even if I have thoughts of breaking away,
this is my life everyday.
This is my life everyday.
This is my life everyday.
