Sheet Metal's 30 Days of Art Contest
I (Dreb) wrote some prose. I invited our sister and brother Sellaband acts to try and turn this into a demo track in any style they chose, depending on how they intrepreted the words.
The acts were allowed to add to the words, but could not change or remove the words given. The lyrics have no defined structure, so offered creative freedom.
Any act could enter. Or multiple acts could team up and share the prize. Any tracks created have express permision to be published anywhere in any form, as long as a small writing credit is given. No monies will be owed to Dreb Haklett or Sheet Metal in any form at any time, and I will send a signed letter to this effect if requested.
As the clock draws patient breath
And pulls my focus tentative
Unto the thousand natural shocks
And wants desired, yet unexpressed
This questioned thought decides my lie
“There is no time, there is no time!”
For follies such as happiness
Or seconds spent to underline
That you, my love, lie colder now
A hollowed need that fills my spine
With venom spent in labours lost
This confidence is undermined
And yet, when summers vacant glare
Returns the heart to o’erjoyed
These questions hard in winters test
Transform to ones I can avoid
So now my love, lie soft, lie still
And wait with me till seasons end
I will remain, at any cost
Your enemy, your love, your friend.....
