Title: Take it or Leaf it
Post by: Wolvesonfire on June 09, 2013, 12:49:46 AM
this is by my old band, Goodbye Horses. we broke up right before recording what i thought was going to be some of our best stuff.. anyways, this is from our EP. its called "take it or leaf it" and its the only song on the EP i wrote the lyrics and music to.



i feel like hell
i cant explain
how much it hurts
and how much im in pain
a little help went a little way
a lot of good it didnt do me anyway

my lifes a mess
for which i cant complain
i shit this bed, and now in it ill lay
made some mistakes
but at least ill be alrite
cas in the end it dosnt matter when you die

so absorbed and exposed i could throw up right on the floor
so important and bored. id drop all my plans for yours

is this the end? cas i dont give a fuck
i never started when things started to look up
i saw a dog locked in the back seat of a car
it made me wonder have we really come this far?
to evolve from a monkey to a man
then how come some nights im all over the ground cas i cant stand?
to get a hand to get back into this crawl
and open up to splill my guts out on the wall

so absorbed and exposed i could throw up right on the floor
so important and bored id drop all my plans for yours
