eyes downcast
last words sealed with
closed mouth kiss

polite words
and broken
promises

this is the thanks I get
silence, scars
and cold regret
this gift's been given
for the last
time

endless longing
these open arms they
offer nothing

final grieving
for a
lost smile

a farewell just in case
your heart becomes misplaced
a fire burns
for such a short
time

I'll light a candle
in remembrance
I'll tie the knot
with a final kiss

a feeling like coming home
this sense of longing fits
like a glove

hold your breath
it fades away

these aching words
from bitter tongues
mean more to me
than you will
ever know

these last goodbyes
oh, so casual
each star in my sky
burns out when you

after posting that last song collaboration, I thought it might be fun to share an actual song I wrote, a few years ago, from the last "real" band I was in.

the song is called Last Goodbyes and I wrote it for a band I was in called What The Moon Brings. I named us after a short story by HP Lovecraft and wrote all the lyrics/did vocals.

this was the first song we ever wrote and it was recorded, with just a mike hanging over our heads, at practice one day. so, the quality is very rough.

also, if you don't like screaming - don't listen. if you don't like loud guitars, drum with double bass pedals being blasted, or experimental heavy indie rock/"post-hardcore" with keyboards - don't listen.

that being said, I think this band was quite good and, had we not broke up so soon, we would have gone places. the musicians I played with were amazing. drums & lead guitar, especially. I'm not usually one to toot my own horn but I was really proud to be in the band and still think very fondly of it.

so, if you like music like: The Blood Brothers, the pAper chAse, Dillenger Escape Plan, The Number 12 Looks Like You, Poison The Well, etc. - check it out! if you have an open mind - check it out! if you're just really curious - check it out!

I think the song really starts getting amazing around the 2:30 mark and I even wrote some of the music starting around the 3:00 mark. :)

enjoy!

oh...I think when you come to write your bio....everyone needs some obscure but rad band that broke up with one record?It's almost obligatory?!!:lmao:I find it amusing you've had to warn about the style,too?;p
my tastes run the gamut,so I would definitely have checked out a band with such a hip name;p...and I like your sound..Blood Brothers I agree...recalled for me...early Birthday Party,Einsturzende Neubauten....I don't listen to too much heavy stuff with my headphones,but would be great live:D
My only complaint would be...I would not be able to hear the lyrics sung like this...and it's a very good song:)
