-------------BRAIN OVERLOAD-------------
YOU ARE SUBMITTING TOO MUCH INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. PLEASE SLOW DOWN INPUT TO REGAIN FUNCTIONALITY.

When there is oxygen present in a cell, it goes through a process called cellular respiration in order to give the body energy in the form of adenine triphosphate, or ATP. When oxygen is not present in the cell, it is forced to go through a process called fermentation instead. The two kinds of fermentation are lactic acid fermentation and alcohol fermentation. These days it seems like fermentation would be a good metaphor for my life. Work has used up all my good energy and now I'm running on empty. This gives my life a leg cramp, forcing me to stop something or eventually fall over hard. This means I have to sacrifice some of the stuff I would love to be doing to complete homework assignments and the like. While this sacrifice is unwanted, it allows oxygen to flow back into the used areas of the life and function normally.

(Farwell???) Untitled Song as of Yet...

Let me tell you a story
‘Bout a boy and a girl
Love in her eyes was his crowning glory
They were each other’s whole world

He knows in his heart he’s bound away
She knew from the start that he couldn’t stay
And so now we say

Farewell, fare-well…
Farewell, farewell, farewell.

Now he’s over the ocean
She’s sitting under their star
Wondering where he’s at this moment
In a place much too far

Now they’re miles apart, too far away
Guilty in part are those who won’t pay
And so now we say

Farewell, fare-well…
Farewell, farewell, farewell.

He realized memento mori
But sent one last bouquet
(She) Opened her eyes to a morning glory
As he was slipping away

She knows in her heart that she is breaking
He knew from the start the chance he was taking
And so now we say

Farewell, fare-well…
Farewell, farewell, farewell.

Maria and I have the tune pretty much down, so that's good... but I need some advice as to some if the lyrics, since that's my area. I don't think a bridge is necessary, but I'll consider it. Also, do you think "Farewell" is a good enough title? Some of the last verse doesn't make too much sense... constructive criticism would be great. :)
