'Repeat', Original song by Pete Wylie

(Lyrics Below Description): This is a pretty old song, and so far I've kept this one to myself, because I thought it was too personal to give to the public, or even to play to friends, but then I realized that's a pretty selfish approach to songwriting, so here it is. I may have made a few mistakes towards the end on account of me not having played the song for about a year beforehand, and it was 4 in the morning and I hadn't slept. I also had to rewrite a few bits here and there because back when I wrote it I couldn't be bothered to finish getting it all down. Hopefully I patched it all together well enough though, you be the judge.

Lyrics:

I am the sky, trapped between the earth and endless space
Trying to break free from all that's safe, and all that's mine

I am a child, locked inside your basement in the night
And there is only one way out alive, and no way home

Oh it keeps me sane
In that place you will remain

You hold the gun to my head
You push my feet to the edge
But all my life, the shadows of denial will hold me here forever
will hold me here forever


I am your son, cursed to do the same things you have done
and cursed to share the same end when it comes, when it's time

And you are me, and everything that I will come to be
Thought to all the world you can't be seen, you're seen in me

Oh it keeps me sane
In that place you will remain

You hold the gun to my head
You push my feet to the edge
And all my life, the shadows of denial will hold me here forever
Will hold me here forever...

I love everything about this ... your emotive singing, the interesting guitar work and the lyrics are wonderful. 'too personal' songs are always the best and I'm very glad indeed that you posted this one :)

Nice job kid. All you need to do now is get yourself a decent guitar and a manager.
