I like songs that tell a story. I like to write them, I like listening to them and singing them. But I LOVE writing them and seeing how the phrasing and the words fit together perfectly to make something more. When the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I wrote this awhile ago, and it's one of my top favorite songs I've ever written. I feel that the words and the melody tell a haunting tale, and the melody is really nice!
Bravery in the Face of Fire
Sometimes it hurts
So much.
Sometimes it tears
Your heart.
Feels like it’s ripping away.
Sometimes it burns
So bright.
Sometimes it turns
Too hot,
Feels like it’s melting the pain.
Bandaids cover,
Never heal.
Stitches close but
They don’t deal
With the scars.

You gotta stand and fight
You have to win the night.
You can’t turn away
When it hurts.
Doing the right thing, and
Protecting it all,
Even when you’re too afraid.
You’re all that I admire,
Bravery in the face of fire.
Sometimes you win.
Sometimes you lose.
Sometimes the outcome's
Not clear.
Sometimes it works,
Sometimes you break
But you’ll never stay broken
For long.
Bruises show,
Though they fade.
Tears shine bright,
Before wiped away.
He’ll never change.
He’ll never change.
But you don’t have to
Stay the same.
You gotta stand and fight
You have to win the night.
You can’t turn away
When it hurts.
Doing the right thing, and
Protecting it all,
Even when you’re too afraid.
You’re all that I admire,
Bravery in the face of fire.[CH x 2]
