Submissions — Week 37 (Theme: Minor)

Walls - 2018 Week 37

From the /r/songaweek theme "Minor."

Lyrics:

Let's go to war
I think you'd like it
It's just the perfect thing
To feed your insanity

Lets go to war
I think you want it
Just by listening to
The way you talk to me

Heaven forbid I'm the one who wanted to love you
To actually forget the things that you did to shame you
Thankfully words aren't bullets or I'd be dead
But years full of memories are something I won't forget

Lets go to war
Lets tear each other apart
Lets go to hell
Lets give into the madness
Lets live in fear
With the corpse of that which we call love
Lets stay right here
Since the future requires us to grow

What's this fight really all about? 
Whats the pain that led to all your doubt? 
Why do you try and fight me 
When all I want is to give you peace? 

What the hell is wrong with me?

Let's Go To War

Wrote this song with my wife

Lyrics:
The smell of your pillow reminds me I’m alone
The socks by my door won’t upset you anymore
The very last sip at the bottom of your cup
You might come back for it I’m not gonna clean up

You’re still around but didn’t mean to be
This was for us 
This was for us
This was all for us
This was for us 
This was for us
This was all for us

The cookies are less sweet without you by my side
Fixing the towels, I feel you are right behind
That oversized shirt that you wore to sleep at night 
The ring on the counter, I gave to hold you tight

You’re still around but didn’t mean to be
This was for us 
This was for us
This was all for us
This was for us 
This was for us
This was all for us

I love you but we still don’t belong
You were here but now you’re gone

This was for us 
This was for us
This was all for us
This was for us 
This was for us
This was all for us

This Was For Us

Ahhhh it's been forever since I recorded anything. This is so rough but, hey, it's something new!

--------------------------

Two kids wandering down an overgrown road
Both with sweaters on to ward off the evening cold
Oh the cold, do you feel it grow?
I don’t know, I don’t know, there’s not far to go

Ooooh what will we find down in the pines
Or will we say never mind

Tiny mushrooms springing from the rotting earth
Little whisperings as the leaves shake off the birds
Oh the birds, what have they heard?
I don’t know, I don’t know, but time will soon show

Ooooohhh what we will find down in the pines
Or will we say never mind

A clearing, some pines up ahead
Or should we turn back instead?
A sharp glint of silver in your hand
Wait oh wait I don’t understand 

----

At the bottom of the hill, a thick patch of mud
Are these pine needles enough to cover the blood?

Oh the blood, why must it flood
I don’t know, I don’t know, where else can it go?

Ohhhhh don’t leave me behind down in the pines
Or will we say nevermind

Ohhhhh don't leave me behind down in the pines
I should have said nevermind
