Here's a song I wrote at the end of last summer, which I recently rediscovered in my notebook. Sounds like I was pretty down when I wrote it. Tell me what you think.
[U]Death Row Summer[/U]
Throw down your prison suits and play
A death row summer's on its way
and as the days begin to slow,
the end of everything you know
you try to sleep it all away,
try to adapt to this new way
try to unlearn your very past
A death row summer's closin' fast
And as you try to fall asleep
You feel like you're about to weep
but all your tears turn into steam
your life is ripping at the seams
And as you wonder what you'll do,
the dark night sky calls out to you
So you gaze blankly at the stars,
looking through your prison bars
And so there's nothing you can do
in this life we're born into
and before your life's begun,
the biggest chapter's almost done
another place you'll never see,
another song you'll never write,
another girl you'll never meet,
Your death row summer starts tonight.
