Sort of blues acoustic meets Alice in Chains.

With this one I was trying to get away from metaphorical philosophical Death Metal lyrics and more literally into what I was thinking. Hence the simple vocabulary and simple rhymes.



Stripped Away


Verse 1

I found a way to keep the pain outside.
It's called hate and you should give it a try sometime.
But it's never like I ever had the choice.
I was never the one to stand up and raise my voice.

Bridge

But when I look back and wonder,
How all it could have been.

Verse 2

I found a way to try and kid myself.
Trickied into thinking I need no one else.
I can't believe the way I was back then.
Sat back and waiting for the crows to land.

Bridge

But when I look back and wonder,
How it all could have been.

Chorus

Wishing I could be like you.
Wish that I could trust like you too.
Think of all the things I could do.
It's hard for me to drift away when all my life's been stripped away by you.

Instrumental

Verse 3

I found a way to filter out the lies.
It gets me feeling good but at what price.
Don't try to tell me all with be okay.
Cos I don't see you trying to live my way.

Bridge

And I look back in anger,
How it all should have been.

Chorus X 2

Very AIC sounding. Loved the crows line. That was a great image loaded with metaphor. Really cool flow to it, too.
