My return from a long absence from songwriting. Expect more, and more quickly. This is a song written in my depression a few months about not knowing who I was.
Emoitional and thought provoking acoustic music.
Hello. This is me. Enjoy yourself.
Story behind the song
I wrote this when I was wondering who exactly I was and what my purpose in life was. It's about trying to live an old friend's life, who has changed into somebody else.
Lyrics
I watch the world go and surround you,
But, I see you as you were before.
Disguising all your inner thoughts,
You used to spend your nights alone.
Now all I see is empty space
Of a life you left alone.
(Bridge)
I try not to think at night
But I find that hard to do
But I'm living life in the mirror now,
And I'm not sure if I'm you.
(Chorus)
But now I hope I'll realise so soon
That when you're old it seems for sure
Like there's no life at all
In this wide space of living
I'm like your shadown in a darkened room,
'Cos I hate everything I am
Just looking at myself I bleed,
But there's no blood on the floor.
I hope that I can find a friend,
To give this shadow colour again.
(Bridge)
I try not to think at night
But I find that hard to do
But I'm living life in the mirror now,
And I'm not sure if I'm you.
(Chorus)
But now I hope I'll realise so soon
That when you're old it seems for sure
Like there's no life at all
In this wide space of living
Of living...
Of living...
Of living...
I feel stretched out on this rack that's life
I don't ever want to live another day this way
In this wide space
This wide space of living
Of living...
In this wide space of living
