A THOUSAND YEARS

I recorded this song on my old TEAC 244 analog 4-track in a bedroom as well. I originally crafted the base riff on my Alesis MMT-8 sequencer using a cheesy piano lower base key sound in the first draft of the song before having Todd (my base player)put this track down with a real base.

I didn't eat my breakfast
My appetite grew still
Just gazed upon the ocean like
A dreamer craving thrills

No one to stop this hang-up
No doctor or a pill
I relished yet I hungered and
The feelings unfulfilled
In my heart.....

Feelings unfulfilled.......
Feelings unfulfilled.......
Feelings unfulfilled.......
In my heart.....Oh no....Oh...
Make it stop......Oh.....

Im searching for that something now
It's not really here
I've been searching all my life it seems...
For a thousand years......
Someone to help me wake up....
A song that makes me shake up
I've grown livid in this town
For a thousand years....

There's a time then a place
When the heart looses grace
When you stumble then you fumble
And you find your loosing faith
In things around you
People frown you
Angles laugh
And demons hound you
I've grown livid in this town
For a thousand years

A thousand years....
A thousand years....
A thousand years....
A thousand years....
Ooo yeah
Ooo yeah

I'm thirsty in this oven

I'm burning for your lovin

Im searching for that something now
It's not really here
I've been searching all my life it seems
For a thousand years......
Someone to help me wake up....
A song that makes me shake up
I've grown livid in this town
For a thousand years....

A thousand years....
A thousand years....
A thousand years....
A thousand years....
A thousand years....
A thousand years....
A thousand years....
A thousand years....
