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 bodies they drink in this cloudy water 
the the clouds precess in their orbit
and the dress you'll wear for now is a secret

sure the future is a secret that keeps spilling the beans
i think the part i'll like best are about to begin
