Day 14

The song below this post is the first demo for The Culprit Life. For every year I’m in medical school I will release an EP under that name. Each one will be made up of songs that I will demo throughout the year and post on the blog. Not all the songs I demo will end up as a part of the EP but they will all remain up here if you ever want to listen to them again.

“The Proper Way To Raise The Dead”

I went down to the battlefield and found I only had a trumpet in my hand.
A tiny joke, I thought at first, but now I know that it could be what you had planned.
But if you don’t need anything
Why would you ask for help from me again?

I need a sign, a rock on fire, a jar of wine, some sort of fleece to keep inside my head.
‘Cuz I’m unsure and will be until I learn the proper way to raise the dead.
But if you can’t bring anything
Would you take this cup from me again?

There’s a peace in four long years, a decade each, that seems to be what you had planned
Where you could take this mess of arteries and veins and turn it all into a man.
And I know you don’t need anything
But could you please just speak through me again?

‘Cuz when you ask for anything
It’s just a benefit to me in the end.
