Don't Give me that Smile

[flyon90]

 I've been listening to a lot of Andrew Jackson Jihad lately so I thought I'd try writing a song with some darker lyrics. This song is from the point of view of a control freak.  More specifically some crazy dictator like Kim Jong Il and how the need to control people will ultimately make you an empty withered person.    

Lyrics:
Sometimes it feels like things can't much worse
everyday feels like I'm living in reverse
you know man I think Sentience is a curse
I'll leave you to it then thrice burned and thrice learnt
well I'm a lie
I'm empty inside
but so are you
so don't you give me that smile
of please I want you on your knees
I want you to worship me
because that's my reason to be
expect my leash around your neck
cause when you worship me
know that you'll never be free
I can feel the weight
it's crushing me
beneath the person I used to be
the fire we lit its burning still
look outside the window sill
leave me be forget the cost
betray the hope go get lost
follow me if you will
I'll show you how to dress your kill

[Geir]

really cool song flyon

great lyrics, I've met a few of those

[Carpy]

Nice.  I like listening to this.  I like the strum pattern and the solo at the end.

Thanks

Crikey this is dark . . .

Thanks Hailey, that's what I was going for!  Anyway if you think this is dark check out the AJJ song that inspired it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyY7Yvx2PYA

Cool song...
Don't understand all the lyrics (I'm french), but the music reminds me some Pink Floyd tunes...
I like the solo at the end!

I am familiar with some of AJJ's stuff - "nothing says I love you like anal sex" - it's a bit too much 'out there' for me but I think it's very clever and funny - he's also toured with Frank Turner who is a legend in these parts.

Your song's captured the dark (it's probably the darkest thing I've heard on here to date!) but none of AJJ's humour.

I think your song is a powerful expression and a wee bit scary!

[Speed Demon]

A dark, eerie statement.

I listened to it once and the melody is still running through my mind.

Nice work.

Great song, reminds me slightly of (Smog). Nice one, love the vocals.

I probably should have elaborated on what I meant for "control freak" in my first post.  I meant crazy dictator who has to control every aspect of peoples lives and how that need comes from an empty place inside of them.  Anyway that is now in the description with lyrics, thanks for all the comments.
