A Ballad of Scottish Banter

A new song, dark blues rock this time. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Oh oh  
You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Deep in sleep  
Eyes stitched shut with greed  
You don’t even hear the scream

There's frost in the blessing, the fire's gone cold  
The silence you cherish was bought and sold  
Hands that once built now just claw for more  
Eyes glazed over, blind to the war  
You praise the lie, but curse the whore

There’s so much distress  
The world’s a rotted mess  
They treat truth like trash  
Feast on the clash  
They’ll betray you for cash  
And call it finesse

You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Wading through sin in your Sunday best  
Open your eyes  
But you just confess

You sleep with your pockets turned out  
Pray to gods who cash you out  
What you reap, you sow  
But you never plowed  
No sweat on your hands  
Just blood from your mouth

You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Deep in the bones of the deal you made  
Open your eyes
Now your future’s delayed

They’ll betray you for cash
(And laugh while they do)
Ain’t no saving grace
Coming back for you

You're in Deep

A soul ballad. First version! I hope you like it.

The Way You Are

A new song I worked on. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

I watched you leave a hundred ways  
Without the door, without the blame  
No raised voice, no smashed frame  
Just less of you each passing day  
Till silence started sounding safe  

Nobody left the light on  
Nobody said goodbye  
You were just gone
Your words were lies  
When you said you loved me 
You didn’t leave
You disappeared

I found your phone face-down again  
Another name you labeled “friend”  
I knew the play before the line  
But said it straight, like it was fine  
I was never yours, I was just nearby  

Nobody left the light on  
Nobody heard the cry  
It taught me how to die  
While I still breathe
You didn’t leave
You dissolved in time  

I kept the cups you never liked  
The chipped one I used every night  
It still sits dry, by the sink light  
I don’t know why

Nobody left the light on  
Nobody tried to try  
You didn’t have to lie  
You just stayed quiet  
And let me rot inside

Nobody Left the Light On

Paradigm

[Verse 1]
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man, no means by no means
King of the road

[Verse 2]
Third box car, midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes
I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man, no man of no means
King of the road

[Verse 3]
I know every engineer, every train
All of their children's often names
And every hand out every town
And every lock that ain't nowhere around
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let 50 cent
No food, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Oh, two hours pushing broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man, no man of no means
Am king of the road!! yeaa!!

King of the road
