Lake

(Karianne Gabaldon)

A sad song about not wanting anyone to care or mourn for them when they die.

(Verse 1) 
 
I’m going back, I fear this time nobody will be present 
But it’s my choice, I’m like your worthless little overshadowed peasant 
I’m not worth your time, not worth your space 
So don’t waste your time worrying ‘bout my face 
Just lay me to rest, throw me in a lake 
And dump me there, wrapped inside a tarp filled with hate 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Don’t bury me when I die 
Throw me in a lake, light me on fire 
I want my nighttime to be your best day 
Don’t cry for me whenever I fade away  
 
(Verse 2) 
 
I’ve made up my mind that this is really the path that I’ve chosen 
‘Cause I can’t take it any longer all my organs are frozen 
My baggage is just too much for your soul to take 
You’re too beautiful and I’m too damn fake 
I need this for real, now don’t you feel shame 
I don’t even deserve to have my own damn name 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Don’t bury me when I die 
Throw me in a lake, light me on fire 
I want my nighttime to be your best day 
Don’t cry for me whenever I fade away

The Pallbearers Of Truth

By Sean Sullivan

This is a blues song that laments the startling sudden, and recent, death of truth in modern Western culture. Whether you feel that it died at the hands of the media, the Internet, shallow self-serving politicians, or their followers, we can all agree that it’s fatally wounded. The music for this song needs gravel and anger, but should also evoke an arm-around-a-stranger’s-neck sing along at an Irish Bar, as if we’re partying at our own wake.

Wild Like The Horses

By John Hanover

Inspired by the wild horses of the Southwestern and Western USA, Poland, and Mongolia. This is also an early experiment with a rhyme scheme similar to other forms of poetry in repetition of lines. As with all my writings, I can edit as needed or work out a melody to suit any genre.
