“Don’t Wanna Be Pulled Back”
(29/11/03)© 2002 Brian Eggertsen, All Rights Reserved

Dragging his feet through the mud,
With his face covered in blood.
Rambling: “Life’s tough,
When you haven’t got a lot,
But pain really hits the spot”.
Now then what?

Tear drops cut like splintered glass,
Breathing’s like having no cash.
When it’s al passed,
Living’s a dirty madras,
‘Cause the small things gone too fast.
Nothing lasts!

LOSING THE MENTAL WAR,
AGAINST HORRIBLE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.
HE HAS BEEN THERE BEFORE,
BETWEEN THE MAYHEM AND “BEGGING PLEASE”.
HE’S A SHELL OF “PANDORA’S BOX”,
A DUST BUNNY ON AN OLD TUX.
EACH PICTURE’S A KICK IN THE SACK,
SO, HE DON’T WANNA BE PULLED BACK.

Abused and worn out by time,
He’s starting to lose his mind.
And every line’s,
An excuse to be unkind.
It’s too late to look for signs.
Can’t rewind…

Chorus

Clenched fists wrapped in foil of anger,
Was placed under the Christmas tree,
By a booze addicted father,
For his baby boy of age three.
But growing up, I didn’t stop.
Ran around painted black and blue,
Labeled “A life of misery”.
Which led to both drugs and drinking,
Thanking back he can barely breathe.
Now all grown up, it haven’t stopped.

Chorus

Watching life from the gutter,
Getting the feel “folks don’t bother.
Don’t know what I,
Need to do to get outer,
When I know that I gotta,
Speak up, but I stutter…

Chorus

Hi there, I really liked this - gather it is sort of rap

As a grandmother it was great to read a song that may be heard by young people that gave a great message, and this surly did! Great job on this.
