Lyrics / Taking Control
Why must everyday of my life
Be a trial that I have to survive
Why all these tests
When can I rest,
I ask the lord each and every night
To watch over me with his guiding light
But sometimes it seems
Like he misplaces me,
The end of this maze seems so far away
I still haven’t caught up to yesterday
Oh lord please
I’m down on my knees,
Don’t know when I can get back again
And it seems like it’s been forever since
I’ve been forgiven
For these sins.
It’s when the good guys loose
And the bad guys win
You can’t escape the noose
When your blowing in the wind
Inches fro the ground
And it always seems
That nothings ever sound
Only out of reach.
Rise with the sun then the moon at night
My 9 to 5 is more a 9 to 9
24 – 7
365
Hands are cracked from the weather and sun
My knuckles bleed from the work I’ve done
Can’t get a beak
It’s all I can take,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday too
Feel the same as Mondays do
The weekend’s when
My week begins,
Everyday just repeats itself
Feels like I am living in hell
I can’t break free
From this routine.
It’s when the good guys loose
And the bad guys win
You can’t escape the noose
When your blowing in the wind
Inches fro the ground
And it always seems
That nothings ever sound
Only out of reach.
All I needs a little time away
Gather all my thoughts put ‘em back into place
Just give me something
Tired of nothing,
All this work is suffocating me
I’m in so deep that I can’t breathe
I’m gasping for air
Can’t get outta here,
Break my back just to survive
I’m killing myself so I can stay alive
There’s no sunshine
In this world of mine,
One day soon these clouds gotta move
Bring out the sun take away the moon
I can’t go on like this
It’s no way to live!
Cut this rope from
Around my throat
I won’t hang here no more
Just to fight a loosing war
Done my time and paid my dues
The good guys this time
Ain’t gonna loose!

i did not really like this and i think it is more of a poem than lyrics. i think that if you are going to have rhyme either have it all the way through or have it in a set part like a chours or in the first or last two lines of the stanza. i also think that it drags on for too long.

this is really cool, other than some spelling errors (no I’m not the nitpicking spelling police) not sure I’d change anything…although “blowing in the wind” might speak to closely to “dust in the wind” so you might want to rethink it..or maybe not..I like it.

wow i like this, i didnt find any mistakes in here whatsoever, and as a christian i admire this poem in a different manor. but i just want to let you know your sins are forgiven as long as you have faith in lord jesus.
How awesome are you? I love this song, and your spouts with god are real and I can very much relate to the questions you ask. Your imagery is top notch, and is better than 99.9 % of the crap you hear on MTV. If only real arists like you could be acknowledged for their brilliance, this world may be a better place.
Down with emo!
