Some of you may remember the last set that I posted called Conflict Of Interest. Well, given the motivations behind the song and the general instrumentation I had for it, there was just something about it that was crying for an acoustic rendition of it. I just finished the acoustic version of the lyrics and am coming here to see what you all think. I hope you enjoy them. Feel free to give me feedback!
Rejecting what’s inside of me
To satisfy my pain,
I don’t want this.
You say I should be holding on,
There’s everything to gain.
I see nothing.
Trying to find out the goddamn reason.
Cut out my heart just to stop my breathing.
My son will be left all alone
Within this empty world.
Is it worth it?
I see the smile he gives to me,
Unknowingly he cares.
It may be something.
Maybe I’m finding the one good reason
To keep pushing on and to keep on breathing.
No, my time’s almost over.
It’s time to just walk through the door.
My God, what am I doing?
Why is my blood on the floor?
Dear God, save me,
Bring me to life,
Save my son from his father’s weakness.
