I just started rewatching Breaking Bad and I thought the scene in the first episode when Walter learns about his cancer was so relatable that he gathered what the doctor was saying but he was fixated on a mustard stain.
From there the story unfolded itself to walk the line around knowing when you're going to die and my recent seperation from my wife (Realising that she is the only person I could consider Kin who lives in the state etc) played into this as well.
I am getting a little frustrated that all my songs are revolving around this stuff as I would like to write more broadly but I guess this is my therapy and it would be dishonest to write anything else right now.
I can’t concentrate on anything you said
I stare t the stain and what could I say
Yes I’m listening but You’ve got something on your shirt
I can gather the gist of the news and it hurts
You ask me who I could call I have no next of kin
My vision trembles and it warps the walls I’m used to living in
With week or maybe days to go what would you do
Would you hide and lock yourself away or find someone to help you
Would you stop and smell the roses, would you cut the roses down
Would you try fight the tide or would you let it take you
To anywhere it wanted you to go
But you have to swim you don’t know how to float
Maybe it’s better not to know
When you’ll go
I think my hand is holding on I think my feet are faced away
I think there’s still much more to do I think I need to concentrate
I think I don’t know what to do every minute ticks away
I think I know I think I feel I know I wish I could stay
Nowhere else I wanted to go
I don’t have to swim just sit here in the boat
I think It’s better to know
When you have to go

this song is very deep but beautiful, I could feel the emotion and the gentle acoustic suits it so nicely. I think this one will bring some tears to peoples eyes. really great song, well written, top notch!

Wow! You put so much emotion in this song! The feeling of hopelessness and despair . The knowledge that you cannot change anything and that you have to desl with your reality - if you like it or not.
Realy great work!
