Songs: Free Will (1998)

This is one of the first songs I ever wrote and liked on guitar, but never had lyrics for. I finally wrote the lyrics in 2003 when I decided to add it to my repertoire on stage.

You can't allow this to
Happen, so happening
Walking so satisfied
Sample this morning

But why can't you see me
I'm lying on the floor
Gotta wait by the stage
But I aint got nothing to say
About you anyhow


Meet me Tuesday
Help me realize
Cause there's no use in
Giving all
When I wanted it
When I needed it

So why did I try?
It keeps me alive
But you do it so well
I can hardly tell

You're in trouble now
Tested, wasted too
Redo all over
Lately, too late me
Somehow you skate by
Leave me here acting like you've been all along
Same old free will dance and song
Playing to the wind

Go to Albany
Bo to Bangkok
Try the veal
Pick my lock
While you wanted to
While you needed to

But why did you try?
It keeps you alive
And you're doing it so bad
and we've just been had
