Decay

Robert James

Seven songs down for the RPM Challenge. It’s February 27th and I have so much more to get through.

I liked this one as I was putting it together. The mood is very much fitting my frame of mind these days. I don’t know if I like it as much now that it’s done. The ground hum on the lead guitar might be part of the reason why. What the hell was going on there?

The rhythm guitars are my Les Paul Standard into an Earthquaker Devices The Depths into a Klon KTR into a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker into an MXR Carbon Copy Mini into a Fender Deluxe Reverb. The leads are the same just swapping in an MXR Phase 95 in place of the Earthquaker The Depths.

Verse 1
asking as a friend
can you let things go for once
I don’t want to pretend
all you do is condescend

Verse 2 & 3
tell me what you think
Are we coming to the end
tell me what you’re feeling
Is there nothing left to defend

Chorus
This is the way it is
at least for today
laugh as it disappears
and turn away from the decay

Break
Disappear (2x)
