Don’t Do It
Doom metal heavy and slow, intro begins with acoustic guitar opening, simple chords, switches to clean electric for solo on bridge pickup, sweep picked, which then goes into low thundering heavy duel lead guitars, sinister overtone with syncopated drumming, starts 65 bpm goes to 100 bpm. double bass drumming, thick powerful bass guitar accents the guitars, deep melodic male vocals, which gain power with frustration. Outro goes back to clean solo for 8 bars, before quick heavy guitar and drumming with abrupt end.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Sit on the porch
Gazing into the woods
See everything but not really seeing anything
Ideas and solutions to problems
Hitting me all at once
written in my brain with a pencil
So clear, but starting to fade
“Why are we here?”
Felt the forest open up
Shift
Every answer that I chased
Evaporates like a puddle on a warm day
Slips away
Slips away
Chorus
Don’t do it
Don’t pull on that thread
You’ll unravel the world
You’ve been living in your head
You were blessed with a brain
That can bend
Never quit
But the stars keep saying
“Don’t do it
Don’t do it”
Verse 2
Discovered the meaning of life
Jotted it down on a napkin
Coffee stains the proof
Secret of the cosmos
Scribbled down truths
I can map out every angle
Name each distant flame
But then I needed a napkin
Wiped my mouth and lost the truth
Such as life
Such as life
Chorus
Don’t do it
Don’t pull on that thread
You’ll unravel the world
You’ve been living in your head
You were blessed with a mind
That can crack
Never split
But the void keeps
Don’t do it
Don’t do it”
Bridge
I could redesign Eden
With a pen and a page
Rewrite every flower
Every serpent
Every cloud
Get side tracked with random thoughts
Thinking about work tomorrow or more importantly
What’s for lunch in two days
Hand on the switch
All this heavy understanding
Can’t lift one inch (oh)
more a thinker
than a doer
Chorus
Don’t do it
Don’t pull on that thread
You’ll unravel the world
You’ve been living in your head
You were born for the questions
Maybe that’s it
You can orbit the answer
Just don’t do it
Don’t do it
