He dwells on what happend

Recommended Posts

He dwells on what happened

 

sits in coffee shops and argues

strategic planning; he is the next politician

at home, his wife works hard

12 hour shift plus cooking and feeding seven kids

all under 12, all hungry for attentinon

He dwells on what happened

he was the king, the man of the house

until one day

rebels attacked, took his power

lack of security, he can't protect them

his children starved as he watched

death would have been better

he has to be strong

he can't cry

 

 

He dwells on what happened

work is no longer important

for his manhood is long gone

upon entering this new land

his wife is the head of the house

she makes the money

she says what is and what isn't

lost are his duties

no longer is he depended on

 

He dwells

lost soul

in a new land

hunted by the past

sipping his tea

he yells

politics and rebels are what is important

for he must make a difference

even by argueing with one's like him

who are hunted by their enemies

 

He dwells in the past

as his children scream for his attention

they make the streets their home

no daddy to stop them, no male role model

as he relives yesterday

he misses today

for tomorrow will come with memories of whats gone

Chorus (Adam Levine)]

Uh, And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.

(ooooooooo)

And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.

(Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today.)

But we'll find a way

(And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way)

Sory about the song quote..

 

 

As we struggles homeless distance apart

who is to blame?

Take the coin that life fliped you and walk away

Simple Nomads tradition isn'r to be versatile.

 

 

Beautiful peice though.

 

Only the strong survives

Very poignant. Living in the past sums it up too well.

 

Great piece you have here, nervous chic
