something that's of use (clover)

Folder: 
songs

with politics and policies we try

to mend what we have made, to keep alive

our deadliest assumptions crystalize

for we built these cityscapes on ice.

 

i've never made my way to solid ground,

cause you have to make a choice to make a sound.

decisions that we make will keep us bound,

and Lord, I cannot deal with that.

 

no self-respecting man would sell his life,

and i had to know what's yours to learn what's mine.

i'll never truly live until i die,

and i'll never look a thing like Christ.

 

there are days i'd like to wake and thank the Lord,

but my hardened heart contends that i'm unsure.

i'm positive i've been to hell before,

would you save me if i go to hell once more?

 

i've been a wreck,

i need a savior,

and i'm trying not to be

a man stuck in a room

 

i've been a wreck,

i need a savior,

and i'm dying just to be

something that's of use

Author's Notes/Comments: 

this is a rewritten song, from junior year of high school called "clover"

 

our life is a clover in our hand,

and the world is but an image of a man's personal land

sometimes i think i am a superman

but who's gonna save us from the hand?

I agree

That is a great line.

I wish I would of taken writing serious

From a younger age.

I had to work ( a mans job )

My whole life ( which ever one it was ).

To have anything you have to work

The Job.

At least that is how it use to be.
