Hi All,
This one's a tad experimental, it's about wanting to shut out the world sometimes but end up being trapped in a cycle of self pity and cynicism.
Firstly, I want to know whether I've over done it with the mood to the extent that it's no longer enjoyable to listen to. Secondly, at the moment it's just piano/vocals...not sure what direction I should take this musically.
Thank you for listening

Verse 1
Walking up the same old path
The sun is shining and the cow is eating grass
I'm by myself writing on my hand
Songs in my head of things they said
A dried up lake will be full of death
I see a White Horse it's on the hill
The green and yellow fields are on a tilt
There's some people walking on the path
They seem to be having a laugh
They all smell like they need a very good bath
Chorus
Coming back I'm wasting time
Staying here decays my mind
It happens every blow
You drain my blood, break my bones
In my room I barricade
Bit by bit I rot away
Hide myself from all the voyeurs
Returning to despair
Verse 2
Watching TV in the night
Switch it off ‘cause I don’t see a think I like
Surfing on the net, searching for some truth
About this world I cannot find
A reason to believe in humankind
Visit London for a day
Thought it might be nice to go there for a change
Riding on the tube, seeing all the sights
Getting lost in sound feeling quite profound
Feel so alone yet also feel those all around
Chorus
Coming back I'm wasting time
Staying here decays my mind
It happens every blow
You drain my blood, break my bones
In my room I barricade
Bit by bit I rot away
Hide myself from all the voyeurs
Returning to despair
Bridge
Come go every place
Manic low off my face
I'd cry I'd dry impairs my sight
Screaming screeching singing for some quiet * 2
Chorus
Coming back I'm wasting time
Staying here decays my mind
It happens every blow
You drain my blood, break my bones
In my room I barricade
Bit by bit I rot away
Hide myself from all the voyeurs
Returning to despair
