37

Sing to me a lonely song
Something to make me think
Sing to me a sad, sad song
As I have another drink....

I ponder the reason we try
As I listen to Blood, Milk and Sky
Razors and the bullet, Why?
Wasted in the candle light

I
Can't
Come
Clean
In the filth of my life!
One
Can't
Have
Dreams
With a mind full of strife!
I didn't want it this way!
I tried so hard to get to heaven!
I have to get this figured out
When the day is done,

This is Thirty-seven...

Keep singing the song you know
I'm almost done here, anyway.
Everything everywhere seems the same
Rubber grips the asphalt on my way

I have nothing to keep me grounded
As I watch the broken flitter away
Another beer and I ask where my coldness was founded
But the animals still have nothing to say...

I didn't want it this way!
I tried so hard to get to heaven!
I have to get this figured out
When the day is done,

This is Thirty-seven...

Can I get back to
Where I've never been?
When the answer is no
How do I go home, then?
So, sing me the lonely song
A siren's call to follow
Just the light of a long dead star
So I don't feel so damn hollow...

I
Can't
Come
Clean
In the filth of my life!
One
Can't
Have
Dreams
With a mind full of strife!
I didn't want it this way!
I tried so hard to get to heaven!
I have to get this figured out
When the day is done,

This is Thirty-seven...

so much emotion in your lyrics. i love it. i can hear a beat in my head to this. I'm feeling like a choppy, yet melodic metal riff. I don't know why, but I'm hearing some like "As I Lay Dying" kinda style to this song. Am I wrong? lol

Yeah... you could be... Also reference Rob Zombie's Blood, Milk and Sky... It's what I was listening to when I wrote this...

I was gonna ask about that, but thought I might sound silly if I was wrong. Either way, great stuff.

Thank you. Had to pay tribute to the inspiration with a line... LOL!
