All Or Nothing

ALL OR NOTHING

I've been here several times before
Several hundred in my mind
Every time I leave this hellish place behind
In the glow of my taillights
It is soon iluminated again
Ten-fold, so bright

Something's gotta give, right?
Something's gotta change
And not just the scenery
'Cause a fire in any bed will burn one before they can wake
No, everything's gotta give
Everything's gotta change
Or nothing will

I'm done pretending it's worth pretending
'Cause now I may have found something worth defending
And next time I feel myself descending
I'll remember that while my failure was loud, my success can be deafening

I like this. Some of the wording is unique. I would say that some lines are a bit to long to flow though. If you can find a way to say the same thing in shorter lines it would flow better (IMO) but regardless I like your style and look forward to see what you come up with.

Considering I gave Lookn' this same advice,I'm in total agreement with him.This sounds very Jim Morrison-ish.It don't get much better than that!

Thank you both very much. I'm well aware that my style is different and not for everyone, but you seem to have enjoyed it enough. If you'd like, you can check out my entire collection of lyrics (the good and the meh) at The Lyrical Saga Of SljSlj - Music Banter
