Solo acoustic song/free verse poem that never was really written, only a stream of consciousness put to guitar. Inspired by the struggle to find creativity and feel fulfilled in day to day life, love and death.
lyrics
Just wishing that the world would slow down, so I could sit down and write a song. Maybe it can wait and tomorrows the day that I make my escape. but tomorrow it never came and I am tired and inspiration less. Only if the world would slow down, maybe she'd come into my life. but im to busy for that now.
my duty it is to serve, but Im hungry and I have to eat. If I satisfy this craving would I find peace. Only if the world would slow down. If your living in the moment what more could there be, If I run would I find my feet. Id get there to see what I could see. I dont think it matters either way.
only if the world would slow down. Maybe I could breathe. I could stop and enjoy the parade, But I have to get back on the highway.
If Im already finished where would I start? would letting go of this load give me more time to make art? Would the tears that I cry have meaning? would my mind be free from this endless seeking? Would I know god if I let it all go? or is there something more that Im needing?
and what does it mean to follow your heart? when theres bills to pay and your watching a war. well the drum just keeps on beating. Maybe I just need some sleep and if I had the time Id explore my dreams. Ill fit it in my schedule sometime soon. After everything else I have to do.
I feel like an unread pile of books. The pages hold the story but they need eyes to look. Ive always dreaded the day my dog would die, the day it came quick I barely had time to cry. what i would do to hold him one more time. And the only thing I wish is that love would never die.
And what does it take to be a good fucking guy? when the world is filled with lies. its really really hot outside and im stuck in a cage and my spirits gonna die. If I dont let it roam free.
I just gotta let it roam free...
only if the world would slow down....
