[VIDEO] A Scar I'd Love To Earn (An Original Song)

SO, in the absence of Grooveshark, I had no choice but to settle for 8tracks. And in all fairness, there's a fairly good number of indie playlists in that site. Ergo, another wave of songwriting talent consumed me (LOL). So I wrote this. My cousin borrowed my guitar but I'm thinking of recording this with just my beatbox.

Or not, because I know you would rather not hear me sing. :))

Anyway, the influence of this song is a combination of Andrew Belle, Florence And The Machine, A Fine Frenzy, and of course, my main man John Mayer (OF COURSE).

EDIT: So I didn't let the absence of my guitar hinder me from singing this. LOL. I have decided to befriend my dust-covered keyboard again and strive to get a decent tune. Despite my claims, I cannot play keyboard/piano to save my life so please be considerate IF EVER you choose to watch this video.

Watch all these people walk 'round

Tryin' to find some meaning

Come and go, they don't know

Exactly what they're being

And I believe it's all for show

This thing called "feelings"

Feel alive for a moment

Then we end up grieving

Who's winning?

But I'll take the chance

I'll start the chase

If it means a night in your embrace

I'll hold the flame

Get myself burned

You're a scar I'd love to earn

Well isn't it great

How we all get to places by mistake?

In the end, turns out it's a wonderland

In comparison to what we'd planned

Even though I'd badly bleed

From my own feelings

I'd feel alive for a moment

Knowing I'll be warm for

the evening

I'll take the chance

I'll start the chase

If it means a night in your embrace

I'll hold the flame

Get myself burned

You're a scar I'd love to earn

Hand me a glassful 

of your wine

I would resist but I'd be inclined

To recognize 

Incoming pain

Feign ignorance and drink away....
