"Come Wormwood" (Life's No Fairy Tale)

Such a lovely disaster
Is the life I was granted
No happily ever after
Can save me now can it?

Because life's no fairy tale
Life's a b1tch and then you die
I always seem to fail
And I'm tired of eating Humble Pie

I'm so sick I could vomit
Where is that devastating comet?

Come Wormwood
Or come what may

Such an epic irony
Is the life I've lead so far
I know you get tired of me
Being so dark of heart

But life's no fairy tale
Life's a b1tch and then you die
I always seem to fail
And I'm tired of eating Humble Pie

I'm so sick I could vomit
Where is that devastating comet?

Come Wormwood
Or come what may
Maybe I'm just misunderstood
Or maybe I'm just insane

Probably I'm gone
Probably I'm off my rocker
If that's the truth I know
It probably isn't a shocker

Because life's no fairy tale
Life's a b1tch and then you die
I always seem to fail
And I'm tired of eating Humble Pie

I'm so sick I could vomit
Where is that devastating comet?

Come Wormwood
Or come what may
Maybe I'm just misunderstood
Or maybe I'm just insane

When I come back to visit this site,you are one of the few people I bother to read.Why?Because you have talent and I'm not wasting my time!
This one I especially like the refrain,the lyrics,are good......but of course.Im glad you still have the desire to write........I'm playing with a band that hasn't even heard any of my songs.......but the ones we do play are great,so I can't complain.When you're a drummer,your credibility is always in doubt,oh well...........

Well written. It could actually lend itself to at least two distinctive musical genres (metal and country. heck, you could invent the country-metal genre with it if someone else hasn't done that already).

LOL, where is that devastating comet, great line

Thanks Doug. I appreciate that. As for drummers having no credit. I don't know. I've never been in a band. But I do know that Dave Grohl didn't really get any credit until he stepped out from behind the drum set and stepped up to the mic with a guitar. Kinda sad because he was and is a hell of a drummer. I can think of a few who did well behind the drum set... Phil Collins and Don Henley to be specific.

Thank you ElegantButler. I appreciate that. Yeah, I agree, it could be both. In an outlaw sense.

Thank you orsen.

BackinBlack, You don't know me, but I'd like to add to this discussion. I'm more a poet than a songwriter. I was pulled in right away by your poetry. High level; I'm impressed. One full stanza falls shorter of the rest of your song--the one that begins, "Probably I'm gone ..." That line is good; the next three fall off. I only mention this because your song overall is well done; inside of you is something better begging to come out... I can almost hear it!
