Rendition

To bring in a melody in these words
To tuck in the meaning and sugar coat
With the heavy strums of the guitar strings
And angry fast paced thud of drum beat
To further bury in unconventional melody
The once clearly conveyed is now obscured.

Sing it by heart, sing it sweet and loud
Aim high, let's go in circles as we drive the night away.
Slip in the note, smile as they applaud
The meaning getting lost in the melody
The meaning in discord with the harmony.

To bring in the secrets uttered in whispers
To serve as subterfuge to a simple scene
This is the best way i know you'll comprehend
If only i'm not maintaining a note higher,
You might just find me in futile attempt
To synchronize the heart and the lyrics.

But these are just wishes doomed to fade
Kick the seat back silently and sit up straight
Sing it sweet and sing it loud
As we drown the meaning through this song
I don't know what you have been told
But the world is not going to be put on hold...

For you... tonight... in this rendition.
