A remix of the final song on the Cerne Giant album "Songs We Never Learned to Play." Instruments by Brian Barnes, lyrics and vocal melodies by Russ Barnes. Enjoy and please spread the word if you like it! #rock #cernegiant #metal
the music disturbs my sleep
shatters my placid mornings
inflicts me with midday headaches
leaves me exhausted in the evening something something ’bout a poison snake waiting for me underneath the lake
all this stuff I’d rather not discover
I’d rather stay here underneath the covers
but the alarm goes off
and desire pulls me up
some distant fire inside myself
a need to heed my own cry for help
some inexplicable sense there’s something more some shiny new feeling to adore
some fulfillment I haven’t found before
and the song plays on and on and on
longings, jealousies, moments dead and gone
and I smile and scurry on and on
I just need a little peace and quiet
when I’m alone I jump up on my bed
sing out into the nothingness
my imaginary audience
loves me and all my brilliance
then I swan dive off the stage
and I smash my stupid face
then I learn my place and behave
’till the next catchy riff or turn of phrase
then the crowd goes off
and the applause lifts me up
they’re rabid, screaming out for more
and I cannot resist the roar
so I bare my soul before these shadows on the wall just to feel the flight before I fall
into the arms of no one there at all
and the song plays on and on and on
#1 on billboard’s most unknown
the paparazzi won’t leave me alone
can I get a little peace and quiet?!!
