this is a song about delta blues legend robert johnson.

lyrics:

[verse 1]
men like you
were born to sing the blues
(__still not sure what to put here___)

[verse 2]
whispers at the bar
how'd a man like him get so far?
what's he got to hide?
heard he plays with strange magic, got demons inside

[verse 3]
not talent or wits
his calloused fingertips
hellhounds on his heels
be careful boy, don't end up where he is

[chorus]
they say
he's a faker
he's a faker
he's a faker, child
be careful boy, don't end up where he is

DRAFT1 // Mr Johnson, I'm Afraid Your Reputation Precedes You

this is a song about ocd. bon appetit!

lyrics:

[verse 1]
disease of doubting
can you ever be sure?
what kind of person lies waiting
curled up inside your rotten core?

[verse 2]
run away, reason
cogitating, frozen
a killer, a martyr, a whore

[verse 3]
tight collar, suffocating
masquerading politician
beneath it all
you’re just a dog

[interlude]
UGGGGGGHHHHH !!!! (misc. long-suffering groaning sounds)

[refrain]
riddled with cancers
and simple answers
oh, the reasons have all gone away
all I know is today
they’ll send me straight to hell !! :(
(oh well!)

[smash guitar a lil]
