The Virgos (imagine)

Podcast: 

Let's make clothes
invisible,
let's pretend
we're children.
Let's take off all of
our lies,
learn what freedom is
again.

Our only clothes
were the stream
and everything
seemed like a dream,
except for the sun
that felt like fire,
and the lucid power
of the water.

She looked smaller
in the water,
with nothing
to protect her.
Isn't it strange
how we change,
how our lives
rearrange?

Chorus

What does it mean
to love someone?
She said, I don't know
anymore.
She was beautiful
as in dramatic,
she was beautiful
as in mature.

She was a Virgo
who believed
in horoscopes
and what they mean.
I think the world
was satisfied
when we had nothing
left to hide.

Chorus

Shit!
Nice singing. I wish I could sing that well.
The only thing I could suggest is some kind of bridge in the middle just to break things up. Maybe just some open chords that you could let ring for a few beats.

The words: power, death and distorted truth
are read between the lines of the red, white and blue.

Thanks. Thats a good idea. If I ever get around to recording it again, I'll definitely add that.
And I do believe I know you... from rock camp?
