Song Post 17
Another original song I wrote and recorded in 2011 on my Boss BR-900. Again, I play all instruments and sing. Thanks for listening and please post a comment. Peace :)
Dont You Know
You didnt mourn the loss of anyone
You didnt have the time to enjoy the sun
You washed your hands in dirt and gasoline
You burned your clothes and grabbed your people magazine
To walk the streets you think are paved in gold
to drag along the bones of something old
The storm clouds seem to always follow me
Still Im throwing jokes like rain drops at the sea
And what gets washed if all you feel is clean?
Maybe its the truth that goes unseen
And still no change in all that we have lost
cause everything thats old will just get tossed.
Chorus
But you go to work each day
pretending everythings ok
To justify the love you gave away
To live the role you were never meant to play
Dont you know, dont you know...
The black line cuts through the silence like some grand parade
I hear theyre clapping hands and drinking warm lemonade.
To me the weather smells like hope and cigarettes
And our memories are burned in deep regrets
Still love marches on but you play it more like war
And its the heart that wears the scars that you ignore
Repeat Chorus
