"Grace's Cradle" - brand new song

Hello patrons,

I can't believe it's the end of another month.

This month I got to release music with the incredible Georgia Train, work on several other people's projects (Oli Spleen, Cath Elms, Feline & Strange) and even found time to finish this song.

I'm really happy with it.

It's still a little rough around the edges and I feel my voice was a little strained but I only finished the lyrics (with much help from Simon) yesterday so I think it came out ok considering this is me every month trying to finish my songs:

I hope you guys like the song. It's kind of a sad one, but defiant and pretty too.

Here are the lyrics.... see you next month, hopefully with less panicking... stay safe and well till then, Mishkin xxx

GRACE'S CRADLE

You had me there for a moment

In the grip of grace

See I was born on a Sunday

with my mother's face

And as I grew I got restless

For something to distract

I went out with my eyes open wide

I won't be coming back

Was I supposed to kneel and pray

and bend until I fit the shape you gave me?

Just cos you made me?

Was I supposed heed the word

Obey and live to serve with good behaviour?

Well he's not my Saviour

He held me down for a minute

In the grip of hate

He took my world in one motion

as something to obtain

And as a I grew I knew better

So I was never alone

So I go out with the angels above

To bring the devil home

Was I supposed to lie and stare

A body left in disrepair can fake it

If you can take it

Was I supposed to trade my will

Be silent in this den of ill intention

without objection

You had me there for one second

You saw a flicker there

You bound my heart like a fracture

Precious in your care

But as you grew you got tired

I was a heavy load

So you went out for the very last time

You're never coming home

Am I supposed feel this way

A tangled web of disarrayed divisions

All bad decisions

I'll drift until I find my way

and stumble till I fall from grace's cradle

proud and unstable

I feel the weight of all these things

a thousands wings to break me and to take me

to take me

and as I lie beneath the trees

I feel their eyes are watching me

I watch right back for I am tired of dreaming

If come back a second time

to sing this sullen lullaby

then this is where you'll find me softly sleeping
