so fil be buggin’ me about writing song lyrics and i finally do it and they turn out to be the WORST lyrics ever. so here they are. i will caps lock them for effect.
TEN DAYS OVERTHROWN
THE CITY, THE TOWN,
THE LOCALS OUTGROWN
THE COBBLESTONES BLANKETED
WITH CHILDREN, WITH FEAR
THE ELDERS ALL SCREAMING
THE END IT IS NEAR
FIRE FROM WINDOWS
AND GLASS ALL AROUND
THE STREETS ARE A BUSTLE
WITH MEN FIRING ROUNDS
ONE WOMAN A WIDOW
BEFORE HER MAN’S OUT THE DOOR
PULLED BY HIS FEET
HIS NAILS CLAWING
AT THE FLOOR
i stopped there cos i was pretty impressed with myself so i read them to fil and he was the opposite of impressed. i pictured some kind of sing-songy arts and crafts too doo loo thing to go with it but now all i can think of is the lord of the rings and joan of arc so fuck it.
feel free to stop reading my blog anytime now.
