this was inspired by gabe's short type songs. wrote this just now all at once in one sitting. still a work in progress. The ending doesn't sound right to me yet, and I'm a little unsure of the second verse. I think the heart string bit could be better. And I think that I want to say write our lives IN a story --not LIKE a story... anyway, still working on this...

Didn't end up working on this as much as i hoped. This version is pretty similar to the [[Media:the_future.mp3|initial demo]]

the future

Lyrics

this year we'll cook for each other
and we'll lower the lights of our glowing computers 

and write our lives like a story
and we string our hearts for a beautiful melody 

and next year we'll be slightly more resolute
and the words that we speak will ring slightly more true

our earth it turns in a circle
and our plants they drink in our cloudy water the the clouds they rain in their habit
and the dress you'll wear for now is a secret

sure the future is a secret it keeps all the beans
i think the parts i'll like best are about to begin

Songwriter Notes

Didn't end up working on this as much as i hoped. This version is pretty similar to the initial demo

Possible alternate lyrics

The clouds they rain from the height of their orbit
The clouds they precess in their orbits
The future is a secret i can guess how it ends
The future is a secret that keeps spilling the beans
