A work in progress, haven't come up with a bridge yet
Not really a band, just me, my guitar, an mbox, and my voice
Story behind the song
My aunt has been diagnosed with an inoperable tumor on her brainstem. The doctors have given her 3 months to live. Well that got me to thinking about my mom, who had breast cancer 2 years ago (and is currently taking cancer pills, because they didn't remove the cancer soon enough and has traces of cancer in her cells), and there you have it.
Lyrics
V1
It's time to say goodbye, but I don't know if I can
Stanging in this field of grass
I look around and see, my friends and family from the past
Do they think that they can comfort me
Chorus
Standing here, and don't know what to do
Watching this wooden box go down
Will this be the last time, we'll ever see
The man that she wanted me to be
V2
The darkness it surrounds, and hardens my shell
I can feel it's fingers wrappin' 'round
But what is the point, of livin' anyway
When the casket keeps on goin' down
Chorus
Standing here, and don't know what to do
Watching this wooden box go down
Will this be the last time, we'll ever see
The man that she wanted me to be
