Come settle me my pilgrim
Lyrics
come settle me my pilgrim i'm unsettled and i'm unfulfilled i swear it where merits prevail i've failed come careful wear frailties with shell or scales come constantly occurring blurry i'll be sure to sight were i to see a shade i'll raise and surely dowse the blinds then unlace my eyes while we kiss riddle me this for i'm unsure what it is my first is foremost legally my second circles outwardly my third leads all in victory my fourth twice ends a nominee my first is foremost legally my second circles outwardly my third leads all in victory my fourth twice ends a nominee come settle me my pilgrim i'm unsettled and i'm unfulfilled

Songwriter Notes
i wrote this riff a while ago, figured tonight was the right time to knock it out. i picked a beat that sounded ok, and slowed it down to half tempo, then recorded a couple tracks of the main riff followed by some punctuated guitar chords. for the words i did some free writing before settling on the first line "come settle me my pilgrim". i was scanning my bookshelf and saw the book pilgrim at tinker creek, one of my favorites. the chords on the bridge section are pretty random i think. they are G major, C major, Bflat minor, A major. the words there are a riddle i found on the internet, the answer is L-O-V-E.
