Sinners (demo)

by Paper Beat Scissors

subscriber exclusive

about

A new piece I've been working on over the last 6 months. The main voice and acoustic guitar are from a livestream on Youtube www.youtube.com/user/paperbeatscissors/videos and I added in the hammond, piano, bass and backing vocals.

It's about recognizing that we're all flawed but trying to do something worthwhile with ourselves in spite of that...

lyrics

You're sinners, but you weren't to know me at all
You suffer in the joy you bathed in
A sweetness sour to the core

You're sinners and you're not to know me, you weren't to know me at all
You suffer in the joy you bathed in
A sweetness soured at the core

Coming in once and backing off twice
We plough through the noise
Beginning to restlessly open our eyes
Stare at the world, pick it apart
We did what we could to get by

We're sinners and we've come to know it
We've come to love it is all
We suffer in the joy, we baked in a sweetness right down to the core

Coming back once and crashing in twice
We plough through the noise
Beginning to recklessly open our hearts
Tear through the mud
Plant the new life

And when we get deeper we dive
