Silent War

I wrote most of this song during my last semester at Case. My early exit from college seemed to screw up some of my friendships, as a lot of folks felt as though there was still work for me to do with the parachurch ministries at Case... but I felt called elsewhere. There are more lyrics, but I have to find them...

I'm definitely changing the drumbeat... it's there as a metronome more than anything right now.

I haven't decided if I should keep the verses 'minimalist' with just a couple guitars, or if I should add a bunch more instruments. Right now, I'm leaning towards a 'Guster' feel, so I'll probably keep the instrument count low.

I'm a pretty big fan of the guitar interlude at the end, although I'm aware the very last electric guitar to enter the mix is a bit off. I haven't decided if the chorus should be singing overlaid on top of some of those tracks, or if I should have the instrumental break and then return to something simpler... comments?


Lyrics:

I thought that leaving would be harder than this;
Every time I say goodbye it feels like Judas' kiss.
I didn't come here thinking that I'd start a war;
But now it's looking like I'm not gonna sit here
And take it no more,
And I guess that you could that marks the end of a friendship
And the start of a silent war.
