Lyin' to Myself Again

(Brian Hendrix)

I woke up this morning with this song in my head and just jotted it down. So it's the newest song I've written. About a guy who was really tore up by his woman leaving him and lies to himself that he's over her, when he's really not. Though it can also work just as well from a female's perspective. Only a simple word needs to be changed in the entire song.

In the first time in, hell, baby, I done lost count
I'm over you
And my only hope is that my middle finger to your mem'ry
Stays resolute
But here's the truth
I probably won't make the night
Without seeing your ghost
If I can make midnight
Well, that's longer than most

So, here I go

(Chorus
Lyin' to myself again...
Tellin' a girl who don't want me
That I'm past through 
Like a little kid playing pretend 
The broken heart you left me
And an imaginary friend
I spend most days telllin' you that I'm okay
But I'm lyin' to myself again 

When the light breaks I say, it's a brand new day
But I grab my boots
'Cause I know I'm walking through all the things that you broke
And that shrapnel chews
S'not made for shoes 
But with some of God's grace
I'll get through my day 
Without making more scars
Just my usual way 

But there I go

(Chorus) 

Yeah, and I go...

(Chorus) 

It's been the same thing for, hell, baby, I done lost count
Lyin' to myself again...

(Writer's note: This song is written from a male's perspective, since I am a male. However, when I hear this song playing in my head, it doesn't really have a gender. By just changing the second line in the chorus to become "Tellin' a boy who don't want me," it can easily be a song from a female perspective. So it makes sense both ways.)

Walked Into a Hurricane

By Brian Hendrix

A story about the age-old love at first sight, though told in a very catchy, country-style lyric that explores a man who falls hard for a girl and leaps right into the relationship, despite what his family and friends think. The way the man describes it is that he walked right into a hurricane. This is a very uptempo, loud song, which would really come to life with someone putting their full set of pipes to it. The chorus really, really rises up in inflection, when it gets to "I say 'you never met this girl, don't try to tell me!!!'" There's a strong emphasis on this song being sung well.

Natural Order

By Brian Hendrix

This is a song I wrote inspired by my father, who passed away a year ago. I wrote this a few months after he passed. The way I wrapped my head around it finally was reaching the realization that this is simply the "natural order" of life. We love. We laugh. But mostly, we lose. We lose what we have and what we gain, and it's something that unifies us. As divided as we are in this world, we never seem to take the time to realize that we're all going through the same stuff. We're all at the mercy of the natural order. Country song from a male perspective.

I Didn't Come Here to Talk

By Brian Hendrix

There are countless love songs out there. Though this is more about a man who admits that he wants a certain thing from a woman. He doesn't mind all that talking and feeling and emotional stuff; just save it for tomorrow. He has other things on his mind tonight. We can all relate to that feeling. It's a relatively slow-paced song that's quintessential country.

Blade of Grass

By Brian Hendrix

This is definitely in the vein of a folk song. There's no chorus per se, just a guitar break between verses. But it's basically a message to people who aren't happy in their lives. Just imagine you were something else then, and see that everything you can think of being has its own environment and has its own existential questions of its being. The message isn't complex, and the song flows well. It has a little "Time in a Bottle" feel by Jim Croce, for reference. The "rose" reference is my personal favorite.

Why am I cold?

By Steven Mailer

A warrior tasked with defending the last of mankind begins to lose his mind under the battering of constant warfare, in his madness he decides the only way to save mankind is to upgrade them into a cybernetic race of warriors. This song is intended to be an ode to many different versions of this concept littered throughout science fiction.
