Well, I'm new here, so let me give yall a little background. I'm 16, been musical all my life.. I play the horn, trumpet, guitar, recorder (alto and soprano... okay I'm a dork), and am currently teaching myself trombone and piano. I listen to classic rock, ska, blues, and some pop occasionaly. I'm in a band and I write a majority of the music and lyrics. Nothing too morbid or sad, although a little emotion isn't a bad thing, eh... anyway. I don't know why I'm telling you the background thing, but w/e.. I'm just stalling.
Verse:
My parents, I know, hope that I start to plan my future.
But it feels like they only tell me what they think I'd like to hear.
I know as well as they do that I'll never be a rockstar,
But I know there's more to me then a cubical and some coffee.
Chorus:
Because as long as I have music, I will have a life.
Even if it's living in some train station, playing for nickels and dimes.
It's the one thing that can soothe me, bring my problems to end.
And If I cannot have it, I might as well be dead.
Verse:
I know if I told them what I'd really like to be,
They'd say it's too ambitios, I've got no sense of reality.
I know, maybe it is, and I'm just going crazy.
But at least I'll be able to tell my children I went for all my dreams.
Verse:
I know that when I start to move on,
I'll be able to say I made no comprimise.
Because I just want to be a man, who can happily protest,
That all he ever was and did, was being just himself.
It's a little weak... and I'm trying not to step outside of my experience, especially at my age, or be too niave... hopefully it doesn't. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
