Beschreibung

More lyrics from my personal view on life and events. Lyric writing is an escape from the daily grind of everyday life for me. A way to relax and express what I find difficult to say vocally.

2016

2016, hasn’t been a year,

I’ll remember with fondness,

Or I’ll hold dear,

It’s only April,

I’m in a mess,

8 more months,

8 more tests,

Started out,

A little slow,

The first day came,

I was on my own,

Then she sat down upon a chair,

And told me I wasn’t wanted,

I was out of there,

2016, so unkind,

2016, you ain’t mine,

2016, I’d like to see you go,

2016, I don’t want to know,

Then came the news,

A hero gone,

I had spent my life,

Living those songs,

No more stardust,

Or fabled words,

The curse of Lazarus,

Is all that heard,

Tried to find solace,

In a different place,

They didn’t like my papers,

But they liked my face,

I had the choice of two,

But made the mistake,

I went for the colour of greed,

CHORUS

Now the book is full,

No money to burn,

It’s the same situation,

I just haven’t learned,

Got to borrow a debt,

Until the monies earned,

Thank you 2016,

CHORUS

A normal day

Laying on a bed,

As hard as slate and stone,

Looking out an open door,

So far away from home,

Writing down some loose words,

Looking for a rhyme,

The days are long and the nights are dark,

I’m just killing time,

Listening to the emptiness,

That fills the sun bleached air,

Broken by a passing car,

That carries my despair,

The dog that is digging dirt,

Another hungry mouth to feed,

A mother scolding her only child,

For throwing away her greed,

This is a day, a normal day,

This is a life, that will hardly change,

This is a day, we have so few,

This is a day, what can we do?

There’s cattle chewing some backyard,

There’s a baby on a bike,

There are people in an open shop,

Buying all the things they do not like,

There’s a man contemplating death,

And the life that he’s seen,

There’s a picture on an old billboard,

Fulfilling someone’s empty dream,

CHORUS

There stands a young woman,

She’s staring at her hope,

She looks in to the mirrored glass,

For a face she doesn’t know,

Her man is looking for a sign,

That will show him where to go,

The road is long and the path is hard,

But that’s the life that we all know,

CHORUS
