I think I want to call this Stew?

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.
Skin wrapped around bone and soul

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.
