I think I want to call this Stew? - kuponut - Tue Nov 22 2011 I wrote this song last Summer. Everybody's waiting on a day to make their days And till then, all they've got is small talk to say But it's not going to happen just like that The times of your life don't just fall into your lap You've got to run, don't walk You've got to scream, don't talk And this microphone is a f***ing joke Because if anybody listened I'd never make a sound Because look at me, all in all I'm angry at the world and powerless to make it change Nonetheless, I'd do my best until my dying day To try not to forget- the world and all its pearls are just a game we play I'd close my eyes and try to make it all go away But here it stays I used to say "what if?" and "could have" and think back to the past But I don't live there anymore And sometimes I wonder why I was ever even born into A world that's torn between colors and numbers and keeping scores The world doesn't always make sense of the pain it brings Clouds don't always come wrapped in silver lines And lemons don't always make good lemonade If the was a price to be paid I'd pay, I'd pay, to make it all go away And I'm angry at the world and powerless to make it change Nonetheless I'd do my best until my dying day To try not to forget- the world and all its pearls are just a game we play I'd close my eyes and try to make it all go away But here it stays If I could, then I would, just stay locked up in my room Until I figured out the direction I want to take my life in And the sun creeps from behind my curtains As if to wake me when I'm certain But I don't really know I've never really known I've never really felt normal And I've never really been comfortable in my own skin After all we're just skin wrapped around bone and soul But I guess I get what I get In this world where I just can't win and though it's a joke, they'll bury me with this microphone Because I don't live there anymore And I'm angry at the world and powerless to make it change Nonetheless I'd do my best until my dying day To try not to forget- the world and all its pearls are just a game we play I'd close my eyes and try to make it all go away But here it stays After all we're just skin wrapped around bone and soul But I guess I get what I get In this world where I just can't win But I don't live there anymore. RE: I think I want to call this Stew? - Nux - Thu Nov 24 2011 This resonated with my core. It's well written and I like the flow pattern. It's pretty wordy but very deep and emotionally charged. If I heard this song anywhere and listened to the lyrics I would have looked it up and bought it/download it because of how much I relate. Good job Kev, I hope you've got the music in the works, I'd love to hear the finished product. |
