I've been feeding audio people so I thought I'd post an old piece from back when I wrote.
I doubt anyone wants to read it all, so this isn't the entire piece.
(Verse)
I got a devil and a angel flippin coins for control of me
No voice in the matter, no choice in what I'll grow to be
But hopefully I'll get outta this town
Though the devil's sayin "Don't go, I want you around"
I have no soul to be found, I'm diggin holes in the ground
Floatin through clouds...but hell & heaven both let me down
(I'm not religious...)
I'm just using these symbols as figures of speech
God is fiction but these, decisions aren't in the least
I'm on my knees, with my hands pointed upwards see
I'm not prayin, got my feet cut out from under me
By drugs and booze, a young one, stunned & confused
I wanna be cool, and leave too, which one do I chose
I've seen how demons move... I've seen the evenin' news
Grew up with people who would love to get a piece of you
Won't be consumed by the small town life
So before I nod out, I pour my heart out & write
(Chorus x2)
Feels like I'm flying too close with wax wings
The sun's my escape from a town that trapped me
I walk the trapese, you can't stop my dreams...
I'm gonna bleed before I miss my chance to leave
