Oblige Your Disease

Branching out, you could say, trying my hand at a song. Think rock, a little metal, sort of a mix between Hinder and Breaking Benjamin. Not musically inclined enough to come up with a melody...

Sitting here

with nothing to do

even though

I should be thinking of you

but you couldn't be farther from my mind

 

I don't know

what you're talkin about

half the time

because I'm tuning you out

and I couldn't listen even if I tried

 

(Pre Chorus)

So tell me what to say

when not a damn thing has gone my way

 

(Chorus)

I can't believe it took you to leave

to show me how to truly be free

it's a big relief to embrace the belief

that I don't have to oblige your disease

 

You had everything I want, but nothing that I need

 

Sittin here

I'm wondering why

I let you

continue wasting my time

when there were better things that I could have done

 

I don't know

for day after day

how you could

keep me grounded this way

and fly above me like you were number one

 

(Pre Chorus)

 

(Chorus)

 

Now there you sit

and you don't know

how you're not happy

after letting me go!

 

You had everything I want, but nothing that I need

 

You're not here

I'm living my own

and I'm glad

you're sleeping alone

to wallow in the pity of your lies

 

You don't know

how happy I've been

how I feel

to be flying again

a freebird high above you in the skies

 

(Pre Chorus)

 

(Chorus)

 

(repeat chorus)

 

You had everything I want, but nothing that I need

 

Everything I want, but nothing that I need

 

But nothing that I need

Author's Note

I've avoided writing songs for years because 1, I'm not very good at it; 2, I'm too paranoid that I've plagarized; and 3, if I try to put the words to a melody, it usually ends up an off shoot of whatever song I have stuck in my head at any given moment. My demand for uniqueness won't let me settle for anything less. So take it for what you will and I'd appreciate anything you have o say good or bad. No one is a bigger critic of my stuff than I am so feel free to fire away.
