Ripples

[Intro] (In the background synths and drums emulate driving rain, a two note bass line drives throughout the track) [Verse 1] I'm failing, failing to be what you need, I try, try to chase the ghosts away, And as much as I try, I can't hold your eye, When something in your soul is screaming, And there a longing and needing, It's not in my gift to give, [Pre-Chorus] I've never been one to show, How deep these currents flow, Ripples on the lake, [Chorus] [3-4 note range in the melody] (Introducing the IV chord—the "lift." Wide, open vowels for the "Wall of Sound" feel.) There's no ecstasy in this dichotomy, Breaking free to be, The potential you can see, I want to be, It's burning inside me , A Maelstrom Breaking free to be, The potential you can see, [Verse 2] People they come and go, and show you why, By example or mistake, Others come to take, use you and lose you, When it's all said and done, It's life on the run, Feelings like a heartbreak, [Pre-Chorus] I've never been one to show, How deep these currents flow, Ripples on the lake, [Chorus] [3-4 note range in the melody] (Introducing the IV chord—the "lift." Wide, open vowels for the "Wall of Sound" feel.) There's no ecstasy in this dichotomy, Breaking free to be, The potential you can see, I want to be, It's burning inside me , A Maelstrom Breaking free to be, The potential you can see, [Bridge] I'm failing, failing to be what you need, When something in your soul is screaming, And there a longing and needing, [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] [3-4 note range in the melody] (Introducing the IV chord—the "lift." Wide, open vowels for the "Wall of Sound" feel.) There's no ecstasy in this dichotomy, Breaking free to be, The potential you can see, I want to be, It's burning inside me , A Maelstrom Breaking free to be, The potential you can see, [Outro] I've never been one to show, How deep these currents flow, Ripples on the lake, Ripples on the lake, Ripples on the lake,
