Cubase Undone

     So Scobra recently helped me to set up (or should I say, he set up)Cubase on a computer for me.  And so I have just started getting into tracking vocals on my own.  Not too advanced, I know.  I'm not exactly "cutting fresh beats" on it yet by any means.  Actually, for those of you that are familiar with programs like that, I'm still just trying to beatmap and snap the damn songs to a grid.  I am primitive as of yet.  But on Friday, I had a good round at it and recorded something that I'm calling UNDONE for now (that's the title).  And since a lot of my posts have been scattered updates and excuses, I thought that I should post something creative.  So here are the lyrics for the new song:

UNDONE

Starin' out into space
Lookin' for your pretty face
Said some things I can't erase
Broke some things I can't replace

You've touched me here, touched me there
Touched me everywhere
Held my heart, in your hand
Since I put it there

Always thought, we were friends
I was unaware
Of what cannot, be mended
That you destroyed my dear

I'm, comin' undone
Life on the run
It's not any fun
Hey
Doomed, to repeat mistakes
Keep raisin' the stakes
Yet I love what I taste
Hey

Time number two was a bitter pill
Got me soft then got their fill
Time number two almost got me killed
Drank a lot and fought my will

There's some things, I forget
There's some I regret
Broken wings, empty threats
Always so upset

Wild nights, empty days
Trying to erase
Never right, losing face
Trying to escape

I'm, coming undone
Life on the run
It's not any fun
Hey
Doomed, to repeat mistakes
Keep raisin' the stakes
Yet I love what I taste
Hey

Try number three ought to be a charm
Thought at least it could do no harm
Cry for a feast when you're starved and torn
Desperation be forewarned

I've held back, I admit
Never did see fit
To voice these things, as I should 
When they could be writ

Did I see, with you and me
A future feelin' free
I did not get imagery
Could not love completely

I'm, comin' undone
Life on the run
It's not any fun
Hey
Doomed, to repeat mistakes
Keep raisin' the stakes
Yet I love what I taste
Hey
