Listened to some improvisational songs by @beej and got inspired. But I don't do improv, so I wrote this in a few minutes. Forum thread titles to the rescue.
Lyrics
Looking back at a parallel universe Butterflies turning purple and blue I don't believe the lies that you rehearse But I still believe in you But I still believe in you
A friendly call about advice for making it An oracle or a random draw I'm sick and tired so I'm not gonna take your shit But I'll answer if you make the call Yes, I'll answer if you make the call
It's a challenge trying to keep it straight All the stories that you have told I don't wanna hear that you're afraid All your lies have taken their toll All your lies have taken their toll

The guitar in this is gorgeous! Loved the lyrical concept of yanking inspiration from thread titles, but the guitar is the star of the show for me.
Doesn't feel random to me, I hear a story. When you just can't let go -- I can relate. Isn't it cool how we can feel several things at once? Great lyrics!
A fun forum phrases mashup!
Thanks for the comment and for stopping by. Good to see you, Andy.
Sometimes powerful themes and emotions emerge from using the cut-up technique. This appears to be one of those times. Well done with the semi-improvisational song.
Thanks, Sean. I appreciate it.
Lovin' the energy, bit of a punk vibe to me. Super solid and clean guitar playing there, with lots of feeling too. That 3rd stanza is what hit me the hardest lyrically, very relatable to me.
