Any Bright Spark, started 2023, "finished" 12/2025

(verse)
xx0xxx > xxx23[3>2>3]
x0xxxx > xxx765
3xxxxx > xx3[5>3]xx (then 2 frets up to...)
5xxxxx > xx5[7>5]xx > x7(7>5)xxx

i got a problem
(staying) in the moment
when the future's lookin' dark

and this candelabrum
needs one more component
i'll take (almost) any bright spark

(resume on the verse, but higher)
but:
stars keep burning and
worlds keep turning
no matter what we do

and yet i'm stuck
cuz i still give a fuck
about e___very___thing___ about you

all the smiles
all the miles
we shared
==========
chorus:
xx0(10)(10)(12)
xx09(10)(10)
xx0767
xx09(10)(10)

xx05(3>5)0
xx05(3>5>3)0
xx35333 (barred)

declining as follows:
but the world
don't
give
a
shit
about
me n' you (or you ‘n/or me)

after you're gone
the planet spins on
without we (or you, or whatever you recorded)
==========

verse:
i've got an issue
keeping it together
when i've lost the will to breathe

you should know i miss you
but altogether
i'm happy for some time to grieve
==========
our love kept burning
and we kept yearning
as if that touch would be our last.

but that intersection
is toward the wrong direction
because so much is in the past
==========
we kept it warm
it was our normal state
and now it's gone
and i can't move on
with my own fate




and I KNOW THIRD PERSON COMES BEFORE FIRST PERSON BUT/SO FUCK YOUR pedantry. :)


coloring or color… (like “million unfilled balloons†line)

unused verse idea
i got a problem
this candelabrum,
like the future, is cold and dark

i'm a big proponent
of staying in the moment
but i need (almost) any bright spark
