Pragmatic Thoughts

This isn't really a typical song seeing as there is no definite chorus. It's really a poem with just an arpeggio behind it. Still, I hope you enjoy. It's rather old so I'm sure it's somewhat, 'eh'. lol. It's a song about wanting to help everyone with their issues and problems, but in doing so you forget to help yourself and slowly realize it when it's too late.


Pragmatic Thoughts

From days that drift by
To all the broken, abandoned lives
That have been brought down
And wasted away into the Earth

Though these fables will bury me
There’s a crack in which I have seen
That can help the broken down
And pull them up above the ground

But with every jaded word
Unfolds a story with twists and turns
And with every lie I hear
Burns up and fuels my inner fears

Of the pain that I may bring
To those that I am saving
What if they are not as pure
Of heart and I was not the cure

But how can they learn this much
When the hand they never felt can’t touch
The angry and the scared
Is it wrong or am I just as bare

On the inside of my mind
I search and wonder of what I’ll find
As I walk through the last corridor
I sense something that wasn’t there before

Is it anger, or is it rage
Is it something to explain my fate
Nothing there now, I’ve gone numb
I can’t explain it but I have become

What I wanted to save
Can I help myself before I break
Into pieces too small to find
Now it’s me that’s running out of time

All those days that I prayed
For everyone now come to date
I forgot the dreams on my shelf
While praying for them I forgot myself…

Don't know what to say, this is very, very good. Fantastic job

thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words

I think it's great. I really liked the rhymes.

A song doesnot always scream for a chorus,lol Ballads don't, for example. I see it that way here and I appreciate the grand effort you
put into your lyrics. A smart job, Obscured! Compliments are in place.
