Here's the last one of these songs for now (and a ZIP download of all 4 of these songs for anyone who wants it). This is intended to be a sort of power-pop song with shoegaze/dream-pop elements and I think that mostly comes across. It could stand to be mixed again from scratch but I mostly like this and I could see polishing it up someday.
RIVER VANISHED
think of all the endless days when everything would glow
could you know then how it'd all turn to bone
body parts in monochrome rising from the foam
now everything that burned so bright fades with no home
the night the river vanished, you knew
nothing left to reflect the moon
come here, float a while
won't you
won't you let the river hold you
weightless like you vanished too
any part of life you were mourning
drifted on the night forgot your name and floated nowhere
every memory washed away
free from what you maybe were
eclipses many nights of crying out for more
it blurs the line where time and space were torn
then brings you back to shore
