Inspired by the blues but I don't write music. I still enjoy reading this piece |
I grew up sad, I grew up curious, I grew up shy I wanted to die, I wanted to fly, I had to know why They told me shut up, they told me sit down, they said go away Go off and play just not too loud, never too loud Don't make a sound, don't make a sound, not one single sound I'll send you away, you're crying too loud, too fucking loud Can't hear my own pain, my own fucking pain, god you're a shame Just a damn pain, but not the right pain, god what a shame I tear them down, he tears me down, tear me down She tore me down, they tear me down, tear me down Who tore me down? They tore me down, I tore me down Who did it first? Who did it first? Who did it first? I grew up a mouse, I grew up a mouse, in my own house I wanted to please, I just wanted ease, I just wanted ease How can I please? Man this is old, so god damn old How can I please? Oh I can't please, I just can't win The people who love me, make me so scared of my own sin Where do I go? Tell me who knows, tell me who knows If it's God who knows, I just can't pose, I just can't pretend Guess that just shows, I'm not the one, anyone chose I tear them down, he tears me down, tear me down She tore me down, they tear me down, tear me down Who tore me down? They tore me down, I tore me down Who did it first? Who did it first? Who did it first? I grew up tired, I grew up angry, I grew up mad I got so mad, so god damn mad, out my damn mind What's there to find? What's there to find? I gotta find... Something to chase, something to be, please just save me I'll do anything, just as long, as it comes easy Thrills are easy, chills are easy, it feels so good I like when it's dark and alone, around the neighborhood I like their stares, I like their smiles, I like the unknown I like to feel cold and hard down to my bones Please tear me down, I wanna go down, please tear me down I tear me down, I beg you to help me, just tear me down Who did it first? Who did it worse? Make me by breakin me I need to feel, the worst I can feel, I'm beggin' you please I'm done with the ease, I just want disease, I need the disease Please tear me down, I tear me down, can you break me down? |
