had to force myself to write something for week one. can't start off the new year without anything. so here we go.
“Black and Silver Boxâ€
[v1]
My mind sometimes a little blurry
but the events are still crystal clear
when ever I want to remember
I can open the album and see.
[v2]
Mom never mastered it
that was my head behind the thumb
blowing out the candles
and that bad hair style back in high school
got cut out of the photo.
[chorus]
It reminds me of so much
sitting up on the shelf
that black and silver box
made of metal and glass
the memories it created
and the memories it preserved.
[v3]
For a time back in college
I called myself an artist
poured some wine and more charm
got girls to be my models.
[v4]
I took it with me everywhere
every party and family function
people have come and passed
but they still live on forever.
[chorus]
It reminds me of so much
sitting up on the shelf
that black and silver box
made of metal and glass
the memories it created
and the memories it preserved.
[v5]
It is amazing to think
just how many memories
the joy, the pain, laughter,
the family and the friends
can be packed into 35mm.
i don't really like this, and i know it needs lots of work. but hey, i didmanage to write something so i am happy for that.
