Description
A little song (now reposting, since I grabbed the wrong file last time) that I wrote after the Capitol Hill shootings. The shooter was your typical maladjusted loner, not unlike myself. But where he turned one direction, I went the other. Evil is banal; it's in all of us in some form, and we can only hope we can keep it contained.

Lyrics
I know I shouldn’t be here
I feel so out of place
Everyone seems so happy
And I think I lost the race
It goes back to my school days
And the things they said to me
I need to put it past me but
My past won’t let me be
It needs to end right now
It’s coming out right now
I’m giving in right now
This is how I deal
Why can’t I cope with you
You turned your back on me
I fight my lonely battles on
A field no one else can see
Now I feel the gun in my hand like
A long-forgotten friend
I’m going to turn the tables
And make this torment end
I feel so out of place
Everyone seems so happy
And I think I lost the race
It goes back to my school days
And the things they said to me
I need to put it past me but
My past won’t let me be
It needs to end right now
It’s coming out right now
I’m giving in right now
This is how I deal
Why can’t I cope with you
You turned your back on me
I fight my lonely battles on
A field no one else can see
Now I feel the gun in my hand like
A long-forgotten friend
I’m going to turn the tables
And make this torment end

Chris - this is a bloody great track - your voice sounds excellent, and the vox are nice and upfront. Great vocal melodies - the verse and chorus are realy strong and memorable - this has a real classic feel to it. Such a sweet strong coupled with the lyric just blows me away - 'this is how I deal' is a cracking line.
Love this - don't leave it so long between posting next time, man!
