Story Behind The Song

This was written for someone who felt this way for a long time and still does. They sit back and look around at what is in front of them and question it. Everyone reaches a point where they feel like this I think.

Song Description

Confusion regarding the world as it stands today. Feeling lost in the ways of the world. Questioning life's concepts.

Lyrics

Choking violently in a smoke filled room
wiping the sweat from my head
laughter piercing in my ears it rings
I should home in my bed
Old heart's remedy is going down well
don't know my limit today
S'pose I should be tucked up safe at home
cept I don't know the way
Where's my guy, don't really know, don't really care that's why I'm here
too much stuff going on in my head as I swallow another damn tear
there's too many blondes with no clothes on nails too long lipstick too bright
and here I am
Makes me feel...........................bitter red

I thought I'd seen all that I'd need to see
thought that I knew everything
such a joke this not knowing what we think
back to the bible for me
Purple velvet curtains hide a secret bad
cept it's no secret at all
So this ain't heaven, but it could be hell
or maybe somewhere in between
My head is buzzing, vision blurred, words are slurred, heart has been fired,
Mind's a mess, shoes all worn, need a break and my body's tired
funny how the rich get more, not the poor, I don't understand it
and here I am
Makes me feel.......................bitter red

Bitter red etc to end
