This was actually the first serious song I wrote. I decided to include it on the album because of how much time it took me to make. I recorded it in audacity and the process was grueling. The lesson I learned was that audacity is not for making songs. I think I recorded this in 2009. All I remember is that I was just started to be able to do things with my guitar.
lyrics
There goes John
Not here for long
Such a Pawn
Did none a wrong
He takes a minute
To gather the fear
Just to slit it
Without any tears
Death depression
Is Killing us all
Our Obsession
It loves to call
No Confession
Is our fear
Our Obsession
Is Drawing us near
He Knows his Job
He's to deliver
He's not to rob
Or to shiver
Can't get away
Intends no harm
All have a day
There's no alarm
Please don't take her
She is very nice
Says she long gone
To pay the price
He's not even evil
It is his job
No upheaval
A few sad sobs
Death depression
Is Killing us all
Our Obsession
It loves to call
No Confession
Is our fear
Our Obsession
Is Drawing us near
Death's Depression
Our Obsession
No, more, fear
It can not
She wants it
Why lose it now
He's not the
Can't you
Think your mind free
