While my guitar is broken, I decided to dabble in production a bit and I just recorded this one. It's kind of the song that fuels my "I'm the one to watch" statement- it's just that song that I feel like proves myself over other teen singer-songwriters.
One of my goals with this track is to show that I don't just write these songs that are all doom and gloom- I am a versatile lyricist and songwriter. I can write a song that is this weird indo-hybrid-soul-rant and make it work just as well as one of my more stripped down pieces. I hope everyone likes. Here's the lyrics.
I will never know the story told
The day I was left there
Shining like gold
The day I was born
They resented my name
The place I was born
Looks at me with shame
Boy's Town, downtown, dirty freak
Dollar store man and
Lyrical cheek
You know I'm no good
Angst ridden teen
The place where I am
Is not where I've been
Dollar store
Drug whore
Take me away
Cos friendship hurts
But nothing is worse
The rise and fall is a funny thing
It was all fun and games
Until I started to sing
Oh, truth hurts but it's better than
A prison shank
From the middle man
DIRTY DOWNTOWN TRASHY DETROIT BOY'S TOWN CIGARETTE-TINGED CINEMATIC PULSE RACING NOIR GENTLEMAN GAS STATION PUNCH DRUNK SONGSTER KING OF DIAMONDS
