hey i dont know if this is too cheesy or not but the other dude who im sort of in a band (i think) with likes it whats your opinion (as always be mean as you like)
are you paranoid
by thoughts of getting older
have you considered
throwing in the towel
well son ive been there
dont i know it
for a sip of whisky
ill tell you how
i was just a young man drinking life
taking days as they came but then they went
lord knows
i didnt care much for jesus
cause praying
praying never paid the rent
in time i was a student
working hard
i made my books my
holy text and holy word
lord knows
i never found religeon
or belief in what i knew to be absurd
i wont take my place
in your perfect race
i refuse to break my bread at your table
ill spend my days high
living rough but getting by
ill repent later
if im able
now im just an old man
fading fast
spending days in a chair
in a home
nurse says i should make my peace
with jesus
but christ knows
christ knows id rather die alone one word -AWESOME!! Good song, sad though..... I really dug that song. I have written a few that follow along the same lines...like dying, growing old, and questioning faith. It has great depth and it looks like you spent more time trying to tell the story than trying to make it rhyme...which is the best thing about it in my opinion. Too many people throw words that rhyme together to make a song and it might not even have a meaning. ill give it a 5/5. Good job. |
