I'm not proud of what I've done I'm not proud of who I am I'm not proud on the inside How can I call myself a man I left you laying in bed Struggling with disease Now I'm 500 miles away Well ain't I the sleaze I wish I would have picked up the phone To tell you how I feel And I'd say hello, how ya doing, I'm not there Well I'm sitting in New York City, causing your dispair Where the streets are so loud The people are rude I wish I'd turned around and came back to you Well hello, how ya doing, I'm not there Well the damage is done The wound hasn't healed The curtains are closed The pain is concealed Now I'm sorry baby I know what I've done If you give me a lifetime I'll shine on you like the sun I wish I would have picked up the phone To tell you how I feel And I'd say hello, how ya doing, I'm not there Well I'm sitting in New York City, causing your dispair Where the streets are so loud The people are rude I wish I'd turned around and came back to you Well hello, how ya doing, I'm not there

There I was close to the front When the lights came on and the curtain went up Just a few more feet to go So I kept on going Don't know what I was thinking When she stepped in front of me The band was loud and I was drunk Or I just couldn't see I pushed her down Right on the ground They threw me out I pushed her down I should've walked away Should've walked away I was standing out on the field There was a really close play so I made an appeal The other coach didn't like the call so he came out running i didn't know what to say He was an old man acting in a old man way I just smiled and kept my cool until I blew it. I pushed him down Right on the ground They threw me out I pushed him down I should've walked away I should've walked away Maybe sometimes when I don't get it right I'll step back from the fight And maybe turn away But when I try to find the words I my head I forget them instead There's nothing there to say I've pushed them down Not a sound Nothing comes out I push them down I should walk away I think I'll walk away

I've been asked to give away my feelings feelings I don't liketo share asked to give away my feelings cause its the only way out of here and Im locked inside I've been asked to give away some answers answers that you'd like to hear asked if I could give some answers cause if I do i might be free inside my mind oooh ooh my mind oooh ooh is mine but Im locked inside asked if I could solve a problem a problem you seem to see asked if I could solve a problem and the problem I guess is me guess its me wake up and take you pills wake up and take your pills wake up and take your pills and be a good boy and sleep oooh ooh my mind oooh ooh my mind but Im locked inside asked to give away my feelings feelings I don't want to share asked to give away my feelings but Id like to get out of here

Merry Christmas from a friend Well, yes I do, every now & then I'd like to, but not tonight Need to be home 'fore the morning light I'm playing in church, a good little boy Gonna help the people spread the Christmas joy But what to my wandering eyes appear God's gift to earth that lasts throughout the year Greensleeves with bells & strings Just might be my favorite Christmas theme Guitar is tuned, bells shine like gold And in my case is something waiting to be rolled I'm playing in church, a good little boy Gonna help the people spread the Christmas joy But what to my wandering eyes appear God's gift to earth that lasts throughout the year I snuck it in, I'll sneak it out Gonna have a laugh as the years go by, without a doubt God's laughing, too, He's smiling down I built a garden for your joy, the whole year 'round I'm playing in church, a good little boy Gonna help the people spread the Christmas joy But what to my wandering eyes appear God's gift to earth that lasts throughout the year

all satellites all eyes upon me should have thrown you back back into the gutter where i found you but you had your hooks within me so i stayed with you so i played with you til the bitter end Should have been the first to leave you headed way out west seen if i could make it on my own lived wild with the coyotes should have had a bit of fun howling at the western sun I'll draw it all out on the window should have slapped your face should have made you cry should have fucked you like the dog you were left you in the cold and wondering where you would go to find some shelter instead i played the foolish part you left me with a cold cold heart many nights and many moons later I still dream of Olympia I still dream of the gardens that grow oh all the things I could have seen I could have been a laser beam fireworks and engine steam I should have been the first to leave you I should have been the first to leave you I could have been a laser beam I held onto things that were always dead Too scared to run, too scared to play the villain I'll draw it all out on the window I'll draw it all out on the window

It's in my palms, half-open It's in the trunk of my car It's in the way I've been hoping To finally be where you are So hide your diamond necklace Stash your best cigars Bury deep your heart strings Your gold in mason jars I don't know what to do With what you've given me So fake your sleep Can't you hear me knocking? I sing out of key when the Church bells chime It's all so cheap Never learned the value Knocking on the wrong door One more time It's not the gin that's been talking It only slows me down It's not the fire where I'm walking Don't even know when I've drowned It's everything I wanted Didn't want it, after all all You could say I should feel haunted May have been, I can't recall I don't know what to do With what you've given me So fake your sleep Can't you hear me knocking? I sing out of key when the Church bells chime It's all so cheap Never learned the value Knocking on the wrong door One more time So fake your sleep Can't you hear me knocking? I sing out of key when the Church bells chime It's all so cheap Never learned the value Knocking on the wrong door One more time

Demolition Road There's a story to be told Hell is full of sinners With hearts made of gold Demolition road Hard as a stone Devil in the details Whats going on Demons say it ain't so bad Angels looking sad And the beat goes on Demolition road Had em all snowed Seeing is believing If the truth be told Demolition road Nowhere to go Busted all to pieces Lost all self control Too late for forgiveness Live for the next kiss And the beat goes on Lost a lot of souls Never save my skin Gave in temptation Losers never win Fighting for the good in me But rotten to the bone What's a man to do Die alone

I Belong To You When you’re young you think your memories will fade away But they follow and teach where you went wrong Damn the surroundings and misinformation That drives you to choose what you think is best But never could be Playin’ in the sunshine Watchin’ all the birds fly And the warmth upon your beautiful face Where you are And I can only decide when it’s all said and done That you’ll be waiting…waiting, waiting to ask me why You look just like your mother when she was younger She cried the tears of confusion She knew it just couldn’t be a happy place You can run, you can play, you can color the page With a smile that would last for days And no one should take that away Playin’ in the sunshine Watchin’ all the birds fly And the warmth upon your beautiful face Where you are And I can only decide when it’s all said and done That you’ll be waiting…waiting, waiting to ask me why (Cause) I Belong I Belong To You Follow the path of least resistance It’ll tear you apart and leave you Trying to explain it away And I Belong To You And I Belong To You

I was so young nothing to share yet I took on two mewling lives. soon all the coins in the sofa crack ran out, I dumped my wards on some guy's head, and walked away. But the duty I took on remained on my soul. I should atone for the rest of my days or at least, do no more harm The cats came back to nothing only a window to sit in and watch the same car driving by and by. I had to go, without those two for some reason The shelters full, off to the Pound. I walked away. And left them to die. I should atone for the rest of my days or at least, do no more harm

about

This week's assignment, from P-Fug:
"I've always been a fan of the 'mood rock' - dark subject matter, etc. For this challenge write me a song about a dark period/moment in your life, something you aren't proud that you did etc. You relapsed into drug addiction, you killed an underage hooker and threw her in the wood chipper, you fought w your girl, you were a vegetarian and ate a piece of chicken, you quit smoking cigarettes only to take up dipping, you cheated on a math test, you became an ISIS Militant. Ya know something looking back on you may not be proud of but such is life. Write a song about it."
