That's the way it used to be

Just putting down the final vocals for my latest album contribution. It's a song called "That's The Way It Used To Be". It's probably my bitterest song yet and touches somewhat on the tragique artiste psyche of mine. No touchy feely happiness here I'm afraid. There's a lot of hidden meaning in this one. It's definitely been a therapeutic experience writing it.

Anyway, this one fairly rocks along at a frantic pace. There's a sneek peak of it in my Facebook music player btw.

That's The Way It Used To Be

Evergreen, like the leaves on the trees in the summertime
Crystal clear like the moon and the stars of the evening sky
Feel the pull of the waves on the turn of the morning tide
No regrets, surely that must of all be the biggest lie!

That's the way it used to be
Little bit by little by I've gleaned
That's the way it used to be
Nothing is ever quite as it seems

Never cared, well not much just a bit, you know how it is
People come, people go, people stay, ignorance is bliss
Two a day, was his way, see a doctor if pain persists
It's a shock, when it finally comes, ceases and desists

That's the way it used to be
Little bit by little by I've gleaned
That's the way it used to be
Nothing is ever quite as it seems

At the time, well it was what it was, appearances deceive
Present day, and it is what it is, not how I perceived

That's the way it used to be
Little bit by little by I've gleaned
That's the way it used to be
Nothing is ever quite as it seems

All that's changed, is the bedrock of truth that I once believed, the girl, the foundation of me, remains crumbled and aggrieved, unresolved, never to be

That's the way that's the way that's the way that's the way that's the way that's the way
