This was a slapdash job. There's a repeated verse that makes it glaring too.
I don't have a clue what album what made me want to be a songwriter, or even if I have one. The interest in writing was cumulative, I think, particularly considering the disparity of musical influences and experiences I've had.
There is a Beatles reference though. A riff on the descending lick from "Let it Be" is used as a quick coda as a message to the person to whom the singer is speaking and as an homage to a group of writers that certainly did have an influence on me.
lyrics
Left in the coldness of your mind
Lost in young boldness left behind
Left in the darkness of a prison of your own design, this time
I won't be party to your decline
Rage at the stillness of your will
So much to do but time to kill
Rage at sadness, the bottom of a glass of swill, until
You do yourself in or have your fill
Say a prayer for you
Say a prayer for we
Hope you get what you need
Lose yourself in your mind
Happens all of the time
Fraid you're crossing the line
This time
Had enough of your last goodbyes
Giving you all but you want more
Peeling your remains up off the floor
All the hells you burning through, they shake me down to the core
This war
You’re fighting yourself, I told you before
