So I shared something just now which is a 1st draft. So I figured i'd share something I worked on a bit harder. Baring in mind i have zero education/my understand of the english language is incredibly limited :p
this one I exclusively tried to use only figurative language... So much of it is just idioms/metaphors.. Probably a bunch of cliches - in fact, this song is SO heavily burndoned with common phrases that I wouldn't even say its "my song". its just a bunch of common phrases chucked together.
OH if anyone can spot the two artists I have alluded too then I'd be insanely impressed!
two guys who are pretty big. i have a few references to both in there!
hope someone gets kick out of it!

Verse
I laughed so hard, I nearly died
To slide away is As deadly as a lethal blow
He’s as high as a kite but It’s your funeral.
I walked a million miles To join the great majority.
Verse
We’re never gonna get there Like a Passport in the mud
As we passed the setting sun
Light out of darkness but he faded away
Speaking badly of the dead is a grave mistake
Pre-Chorus
Give someone enough rope and they’ll walk it alone
I’ve seen that movie a thousand times.
Run around in circles Never find cloud nine
Chorus
It’s gallows humor It’s a Ghost Town
She’s as bright as the moon in Undiscovered Country
She’s as old as the hills and As silent as the grave
It’s as windy as a hurricane No shelter from change.
