I am writing a series of songs that tell one huge story. When i am done i will be posting them on here.


The Fear and The Death: Volume One - As I Peer Through The Steaming Ship That Sunk To The Bottom Of The Ocean

TRACK ONE- I have some time to kill. Slowing down on the highway I remember you. Dear Mom, I will be gone for a while. I�m meeting up with this girl that I think I am in love with. I will write to you everyday and I will never fade away from you. Talking crazy all the way, all the way down. Another hour goes by and I can�t stop thinking about you. We�ve made this relationship a match made in heaven. I think, no wait, I know we were meant for each other. Emily I love you and I wish to be your lover. I tell my brother, Damien about you everyday. Congrats to you Andrew and I hope I don�t have to guide you along the way. You�ve grown old enough to make your own decisions. I think you are right to say that your love for her is endless. So I wish you a safe journey and if you ever need me call. I am always here for you. I love you. Signed your brother.

You and your titles, Andrew...always creative, but frequently odd, too.

You "peer", not "pear".  ("My name is Bert, and I eat pears", by the way  ;))

And how is a ship -- submerged at the bottom of the ocean -- steaming?

My name is Phil and I wear a pair of socks.

And I's be furious, too, if I was stuck at the bottom of an ocean.


Phil

It’s so clear now.
That me and you were destined for each other.
But one slit of the child’s wrist is all it took to say goodbye.
But I pray, oh I pray every night that you can overcome yourself.
So I have come home to tell you that I will never return.
This is the last time you will feel my lips press against yours.
I will watch over you through the Earth that I live on.
I will show you the way but the day will never come.

Dear Emily, I am here writing to you to tell you I love you.
So maybe now that I am away you will see how much you needed me.
I will keep your secrets and lock them forever.
I will never remember.
I don’t want it anymore.
It is not my responsibility.
So can you please stop it, stop everything?
Forget everything I have told you before the blood spills again.

Come home my love, come home.
I am never coming home my lady.
But will you remember how to handle things all by yourself?
My battle is still going on.
And I know I will loose it.
So maybe I can move away from this place.
And never come back.

I swear I will never come back.
I’ll never come back to this fucking place again.
This is not a disease that will go away.
No more fucking time is on my life.
So I will go to sleep. And never wake up.
Goodnight, my love.
