Life Rocks

To be stranded an island, is to be taken from society

Washed up, alone, and in despair, I feeling I know aplenty

But how have  I survived thus far? On this island known as life to me?

Its not through computers or technology, that I have kept my sanity

While I have tinkered on the brink, unaware if I should jump,

I know one thing has kept me steady, the mellow sounds of rock

From the deep rich tones, to the heavy bass notes, the sounds all glorified

As they hit my drums, and make me numb, I’ve now been pacified.

One could call it an addiction, one I’m happy to fulfill

It keeps me sane, stuck in my brain, like a little happy pill.
 

If it weren’t for rock I know I’d be, sad and miserable.

So go ahead, strip me down and take everything away

But please, oh god please, let the music stay

You can take away my livelihood, and everything I own

But take away the music and I’ll just become a drone.
