hey Steemians! i've been off radar the last few weeks with a bit of the flu, but i'm getting back into things and this is my submission for the open mic contest this week. i hope you all enjoy it.
it's a song called "Paper Tigers" from an album of the same name that i put out in 2016. the original version is a synth-y, dance-y song but I decided to do a sparse acoustic version for Steemit. lyrics below. if you want to hear the original version, google "hike CDT four minutes" and find a video on youtube by a guy named @halfwayanywhere .... he used my song in his epic hiking video and it's amazing. check it out.
if you like my music or my writing and you want more, then follow me here on steemit @javierdunn or check out my website: http://www.javierdunn.com
love you , steemit! mean it!
PAPER TIGERS (lyrics)
IT’S TAKING ME BACKWARDS IN EVERY WAY
NOW THAT YOU KNOW ME WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
I JUST TOOK ANOTHER ONE
AND I FEEL OK
YOU’RE LEAVING ME SIDEWAYS AND PULLING AWAY
I’M TAKING IN ALL THIS AND I PUT IT AWAY
I COULD TAKE ANOTHER
AND STILL FEEL OK
YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEAR A THING (2X) WITH ME
NO MORE PAPER TIGERS
DON’T BE AFRAID OF SOMETHING YOU MADE UP
NO MORE PAPER TIGERS
DON’T BE AFRAID OF TONIGHT
FINALLY FEARLESS I WANNA SAY
THAT I HAD A VOICE ONCE THAT I GAVE AWAY
BUT I TAKE IT BACK WITH ALL MY LUNGS
OH I CAN BREATHE AGAIN
YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEAR A THING (2X) WITH ME
NO MORE PAPER TIGERS
DON’T BE AFRAID OF SOMETHING YOU MADE UP
NO MORE PAPER TIGERS
I’VE HAD ENOUGH… GOODBYE
GOODNIGHT
