Awhile (Our Song)

Here's another lyrical song that I wrote. I hope to do some piano with it in time. Right now I can only sing it. Heh.

Awhile (Our Song)
By Adam Gonzales

We've been awhile and everything
So take my hand and lend me your wings

You...and me
Ain't this all...
Funny?
But me...
And you
Have got more...
Work to do

It's been sometime since we have seen
The way everything could've been

But it's not the time
And it's not the place
Take my hand, look at me
Oh! What a lovely face

So tell me where we will go
'Cause I've been scared since we've seen that show

Where the two who had loved
Couldn't find their hotel
And it split them apart,
And the guy went to hell
So please let us just stop
And pretend that we're them
And the wounds that were theirs,
Will be ours to go mend

We've been awhile and everything
So spread your wings and we will sing

About life, about us, about what we will do
About where, about when, about how I met you
About things in our past that are dark but are gone
About death, about love: this is all for our song

Alsenoth's Lament

Alsenoth's Lament is a lyrical song that I wrote for my Tarterrior book series. It shows the suffering and pain that Alsenoth has experienced, and his acknowledgment of why he has fallen. This song/poem is full of regret and I hope that the depth of emotion is easily conveyed when read.

Alsenoth’s Lament
By Adam Gonzales

So now the moon sets down
The once bright sun burns out
Can all this come from one lie
Why did I have to hide

And now I know what I was all along
As I kneel and mourn for the loss of love’s sweet song
But now I’ve faded
I become the hated
I’m lost

And as the end draws near I accept my empty fate
So full of fear, of loneliness and hate
But now I let
My soul turn to regret
I’m dead

But if there’s hope upon an empty throne
I know that I’ll wear it so sad and all alone
For you’ve discarded
My broken heart and
I’m fault

I know I fooled myself
I’ve made it my own Hell
By saying that it’d be alright
If I simply mingled in the inky depths of Night

For now the stars give up
My white intents were not enough
All of this came from the blackness of deceit
And the burning fear that slowly raised its heat

Now I say goodbye
I know that she truly tried
The pain I feel in the fading of my heart
Is not alive, for after all my soul’s been ripped apart

Rae

This is one of the lyrical songs that I have written, and although I DO NOT have a piano part written out for it yet, I hope to be doing that very soon. It is called Rae and is probably the lengthiest of the lyrical songs that I have written. It can also be found on my other blog, I'm Never Write. I will try to upload me singing it (if I am comfortable enough), once I figure out how. Please leave comments! Deep metaphors in this one. Enjoy!

Rae
By Adam Gonzales

My heart becomes
The beating drum
And I hear your Song
I see your trail
It’s light; it’s frail
And it leads into the wood

You laugh, you smile;
Though your life is a trial
And now I follow you
I’ll always stay true
My soul’s an empty blue:
It’s broke

CHORUS:
“Living in borrowed shoes
Walking on borrowed paths
This is the only ruse I feel

Following borrowed Light
Wandering in the night
As long as I find you”

And now I see
The line of trees
And I feel the breeze
The path: it turns
My choices burn
An echo of my past

The black is near,
For now I fear
That your trail has finally faded
And now I’ve become the hated
What was once infatuated,
Is lost

CHORUS:
“Living in borrowed shoes
Walking on borrowed paths
This is the only ruse I feel

Following borrowed Light
Wandering in the night
As long as I find you”

Now time beats on
The dark is wrong
And I long for the dawn
My chains are cold
And I’m growing old
I need them to break

You have the key
But you won’t free me
And now I am finally dying
And what’s worse: I won’t stop crying
So why can’t you just stop lying?
You care

CHORUS:
“Living in borrowed shoes
Walking on borrowed paths
This is the only ruse I feel

Following borrowed Light
Wandering in the night
As long as I find you”

CHORUS (REPRISE):
“Living in borrowed blood
Walking on borrowed laughs
Wading on through the flood, I feel...

...I’m following borrowed hope
Wandering down a slope
As long as I find you,
As long as I find you,
As long as you find me

Introduction To A Journal

This blog is going to serve as a sort of musical journal for the many piano pieces that I have written. Most of them are inspired by the book series that I am writing called The Tarterrior Series, but some of the music is simply written on a whim. There are a few songs which I am intending to write lyrics to as well as adding other instruments, but this blog is to be used for the sake of just the piano aspects of my music. I will add the music to my blog and update a new post for each song that I add, so please keep updated and check back constantly. As of right now I have written 25 songs, 12 of which are instrumental only. So I hope to write more and keep this blog as updated as possible with my music. Thanks!
