Ode to cab sav
By flying_fox
V1
I've been struck dumb from all this drinking
and after all that I've been thinking
not knowing who it was who lied
still I'm the one who's crucified
(yes I am)
V2
I know I'm nailed and can't escape
your hold on me, my mind you'll rape
I have no more for you to take
for I've been robbed before
CHORUS
My only hope's to feel no more
or feel the way I felt before
all I want's to numb the core
and just get close to dying
V3
The fated day is drawing near
and no control is what I fear
so all I do is shake and sear
just waiting for the pain
V4
But death won't come to take my hand
or take me to a promised land
it's you who'll come to scream, demand
then leave me here alone
CHORUS x 2

"all I want's to numb the core" Lovely, this song-like poem is: reminds of Buckley, Dylan and even a bit like U2 (or Coldplay). Bloody hell! I can even imagine Disturbed sssinging this one loudly! Nice structure; well done!

ANother great write, what really drove it home for me was "I have no more for you to take for I've been robbed before, My only hope's to feel no more or feel the way I felt before" heart wrenching
