MUSIC FOR SALE

It’s a slow, gradual crash
A passing blink each day
It breaks my heart
Watching hope decay

Some folks are out of options
Lack a will or a way
Your pitch black darkness
Kicks the light out of day

You don’t know what it looks like
Till you’re kneeling to pray
The money’s run out
There’s no place to stay

You grew up thinking
That’ll never be me
No, it’ll never be me
There’s no way the shadows
Are where you ought to be

The devil keeps knocking
He’s at your door
He’s been a-waiting
And he’s keeping score

Those demons are out lurking
Hoping you’ll fall
If your old habits should win
I’m dreading the call

If I threw you a rope
To rescue your soul
Would you grab hold
Or just stay in the hole

Come on and color me a memory
Let’s paint the day
Capture the bright shiny moments
Where good times play

It’s all been so hard
As your lies have grown
You gave up living
Your world turned to stone
Oh, it turned to stone.

Oh, color me a memory
Paint me a song
Let’s chase the rainbows
And leave worries alone
Yeah, we will leave them alone
Oh, we will leave them alone

You grew up thinking
That’ll never be me
No, it’ll never be me
There’s no way the shadows
Are where you ought to be

Come on and color me a memory
Let’s paint a song
We’ll chase the bright shiny moments
And leave those worries alone
Oh, we’ll leave them alone….
