Behind A Smile - by Modern Oracle, (Original)

A simple, mellow tune I wrote.

Quality is a bit rough since I just whipped this out in a quick webcam one-take, well two considering the back up vocal, lol. I also realized that I was tapping my foot on the mic stand, HA, oops! Hope you dig it.
Full band version coming soon!

Behind A Smile, (Lyrics)

I'm aware of the consequence
Of hiding behind a smile
I do it all the time
Sometimes I feel like Im falling down
So I lay down for a while
And wish the world would just pass me by

Whole, It's what I want to be sometimes
Afraid to make the same mistakes
Oh, Everything will be alright
Theres nothing left of me to take

A bitter chill in the form of conscience
Like a city lost under the ice
Hoping someone will discover one day
And I took advantage of your patience
When I needed your advice
If you saw me, wonder what you'd say

I try, and I cry
Just like anyone
Under this dark sky
Empty, and you'll see
That I am what I am
And not what you want me to be
My vice, sacrifice
For the price of a picture
You rob me of my life
Push aside, to find
That you're crowding me
Out of my own mind
Im out of my mind


*(A lyrical change was made in the chorus, suggested by Nanobooo. "Oh" has been replaced by "Whole" which I felt connects and adds to the song appropriately.)

The best song I've heard from you so far (gone through about a dozen). This is really impressive.  I actually like the acoustic demos a lot more than the completed mixes.

Dude, your originals are awesome, exactly the style I love to listen to. I'm working on some songs that have a more similar sound to songs like these. I gotta cover a song by you sometime.
