The Old Guitarist
I don't know
Maybe 1995?
That was when I felt alive
For the last and final time
Sure, lately I've
Been trying to save my mind
Trying to keep myself alive
Well it all just seems like a blur
I don't think
I can keep this up forever
I know I'm just not that clever
But I think I might be on the verge
I just hope
That I don't create a stir
Go ahead
Just as you were
I'm a bit like Aaron Burr, sir
I'll just waste away with my guitar
Pretending I became a superstar
You don't see
I'm lost and lonely
I've burnt up all my plans
I'm on fire
You can't tell
I'm stuck inside this cell
I'll just waste away
I'm too tired
I recall back in 1987
That was when we sang together
We wrote oh so many letters
Postscript
I miss you
After all these years
Every time I'm filled with fears
When I think I see you here
Ghosts haunt my hallways
I'm always
Stuck halfway
I'm just a joke
I play my tricks
I'm never serious
Quite the experience
Mirrors and smoke
I'll just waste away with my guitar
Pretending I became a superstar
You don't see
I'm lost and lonely
I've burnt up all my plans
I'm on fire
You can't tell
I'm stuck inside this cell
I'll just waste away
I'm too tired
I've made mistakes
And I've paid for them
I've broken rules
And some I've bent
I've loved and lost
And I've ruined hearts
Some things are pointless
Right from the start
I've come this far
But not by myself
My shadow's here
When I need help
I wish you stayed
Way back then
Please set me free
Is this the end?
I'm an addict
Don't tear me apart
There are too many scars on my poor heart
Let's just stay inside
Will you stay if I hide
Don't let me throw away all our hopes yet
Let's just stay inside
I've lost my will to fight
Let's just close our eyes
I'm so tired
Maybe 1995?
That was when I felt alive
For the last and final time
Sure, lately I've
Been trying to save my mind
Trying to keep myself alive
Well it all just seems like a blur
I don't think
I can keep this up forever
I know I'm just not that clever
But I think I might be on the verge
I just hope
That I don't create a stir
Go ahead
Just as you were
I'm a bit like Aaron Burr, sir
I'll just waste away with my guitar
Pretending I became a superstar
You don't see
I'm lost and lonely
I've burnt up all my plans
I'm on fire
