Fuck This Song
03:16

There's a party going on upstairs, everyone's on drugs
I think this thing is called a brain though I don't know what it does.
This never ending he said she said bullshit is a bore.
And I keep on forgetting what the fuck I came here for.
I know there's more to life than this I can feel it in my veins.
Or maybe that's just crystal meth and these never ending days.
I'm damn near out of cigarettes, I'm running low on friends.
The voices in my head are fucking arguing again.
So I will never call again.
But can we still pretend?
That I survived, a little part of me, this self inflicted tragedy.
The possibility there could be more to me than the villain I turned out to be.
I lost my train of thought again, emotions going numb.
I think the thought I'm thinking of had something to do with love.
And how I'm not wired properly to acquire such a thing.
Cuz every time I try I fucking ruin everything.
And I'm so sick and fucking tired, of these self destructive pages.
I have always been an addict, my drug of choice is conversation.
But all my thoughts collide at once it's hard to focus in.
And that's about the time I go and fuck things up again.

Broken Beyond Repair

My heart dont work like it used to baby.
Its broken beyond repair.
I want to love you baby, but my heart wont take me there.
How lonely you must be baby.
Lying next to me.
I wanna love you baby, but maybe loves not meant for me.

The Hell Song
02:26

Soloman:
Its been a long time coming, I'm pretty sure I'm going to hell.
I tried to be a good man, that didn't go over well.
Benny:
I stole me this guitar, and I'm known to play it well.
If you wanna touch my guitar, you better say Oh Well.
Cuz if you wanna touch this guitar, you gotta come find me in hell.
Both:
Its been a long time coming, now everybody is going to hell.
I've heard it's quite nice once you get over the smell.
Its been a long time coming, I'll see you motherfuckers in hell.

Left Unsaid
04:00
|

I wear this armor made of paper
I load my guns with graphite led.
I've been at war with this eraser
Filling the graveyards with words better left unsaid.
Most pages of this stories missing
There's not enough here to comprehend.
And the dead don't speak but they sure do listen
With words left unspoken, they speak of how this story will end.
I think there's been a system failure
There is a virus in my code.
And I must be some kind of freak of nature.
I don't belong here, extra-terrestrial soul.
I wanna go home
Im letting go, So let me go, Just let me go, I wanna go home.
Theres something wrong with me, I feel something broken inside
There's something wrong with me, I feel something missing inside.
I dont know why I am this way.
I wear this armor made of paper
I bleed black ink and graphite led.
I've learned to love this damn eraser.
Here in this graveyard with words better left unsaid.
All these things I wish I would have said.

No Inspiration
05:17
|

|
I walk around eyes looking down
you ask me why baby why do you cry, is there a reason?
i say ive got a lonely heart.
i walk around, head in the clouds
you ask me why baby why dont you try?
i dont have a reason.
i wouldnt know where to start.
when did the fire burn out, when did i lose my way?
it seems the trail went cold, i guess things happen that way
if i dont make it out alive
could i say that today is one hell of a day to die
and if i dont find a way to survive
would i have any regrets, would i care enough to try
and leave something behind to be remembered by.
oh lately theyre teliin me im not the same person i used to be
i lost my ambition. i think id have to agree.
cuz i find it hard to be a part of anything i just cannot seem to care
no inspiration. its up and run away from me

Old Man Grim

I took a walk with old man grim
one frozen moonlit eve.
My boy you're dead inside, he said.
A gift to you from me.
Boy youll be fine.
Dont be a little bitch.
This is what you wanted, you asked for this.
He took my hand and bowed his head.
and left me on my own.
To explore the empty parts of me.
That used to be my soul.
So take my hand and walk with me.
Lets see what we can find.
And on this frozen moonlit eve.
Youll find youre dead inside.

Hey there pretty eyes why do you look so sad

Nothing in this world could stop me loving you.
Hey there pretty eyes everybody gets scared, its okay to ask for help ill be the first one there.

You are not alone in this great big world
My heart is yours to keep.
No amount of money, diamonds, or pearls

cuz i love you, so ive got you wrapped up tight and safe inside my soul.
so ease your troubled mind pretty eyes, and let those worries go

hey there pretty eyes i fucking love the way you smile
its the little things in life that make living this life worth while.

Self-Medication
03:34
|

|
I think im doin okay but please dont hold your breath
i have been here before, if your looking for more, im sorry theres nothing left.
but ill be better next time, atleast i promise to try.
Ive got plans ive got dreams, for a moment it seems everything is alright.
but then i fall thought the floor and i crash into the wall.
i feel good for a while, then i forget how to smile, im not okay after all.
so heres to self medication, heres to self mutilation
old scars and new tattoos, nothing to gain nothing to lose.
im not okay, but ill be alright.
i wrote a suicide note, and turned it into a song.
ive written hundreds of poems and im just letting you know i plan on burning them all.
I drew a picture of god, on my wrist with a knife.
I jumped off of the roof desperately trying to prove i could learn how to fly.
i think im doin okay, i think ill make it this time.
but if i dont make it home, i just want you to know, i kept my promise to try.

The Day I Die
03:59

today is the day i die, i see a burning light and i know
im going home.
ive walked a million miles, and ive seen a million smiles but i know
its time to go.
and i sure am gonna miss you my dearest friend
and i hope to see you again.
today is the day i die, ive got to pay for these sins of mine i pray
they let me stay
but if those gates dont open up for me, ill make my way down to the fire deep ill stay,
until my debts been paid.
how could god forgive me for the things ive done.
oh my soul is a wicked one.

Work of Art
03:08
|
|||
|
well words dont come real easy to me
ive got a head full of ideas always incomplete
and the doctor says theres something wrong with me
Im not a masterpiece
but despite all the flaws in my personality
the never ending battle to give up on my sanity
relapse threatening to take away everything
i still believe
that the dimmest light shines brightest in the dark
and the greatest stories ever told come from broken bones and scars
beautiful songs come from someones broken heart
you dont have to be a masterpiece to be a work of art
so open up your eyes see the beauty in everything
focus on the love and that beautiful energy
forgive yourself and every enemy
love everyone
because everybody fights a battle nobody else can see
everybody knows how scary the dark can be
in the mirror hating everything you see
but you are loved
the falls that we take become the poems we create
if we all stood together we could stand for something great
nobody is perfect everybody can relate
the masterpiece begins when we choose love instead of hate
so if your hurting and alone, and this pain is in your soul
then i want you to know that you are beautiful
youre absolutely perfect just the way you are
and i love you.
youre a godamn work of art.

Chasing Dreams
03:29
|

Another long night of chasing dreams
cuz these dreams aint chasing me.
one more trip around the moon and i hope i dont fall down to soon.
time flys when your on the run
i cant remember what im running from
i end up back at the start and i realize just how far ive come but
sometimes i swear ive seen the weeping willow smile,
and i find that every angel falls once in a while
sometimes life needs death to take its breath away
some broken hearts beat on, some hearts just get beaten till they break
another long night of chasing dreams
theses nightmares wont leave me be.
one more trip around the moon and i hope i dont come down too soon.
times flys when your on the run
the tick tock clock hands loading up that gun
something cant be outrun, Old Man Grim shakes hands with everyone

Soloman Crowe St. Louis, Missouri
My name is Soloman. I write songs and then do my best to record/perform them. I'm really just kind of winging this whole
thing.
My songs are about first hand experiences with addiction, suicide, death, love, life, hope, mental illness, heartbreak, etc
My only goal is to express myself authentically through my songs in hopes that someone out there can relate and feel less alone than I do.
