Tatters
by Tim G. Young
the way things are going well i'm feeling
more than a little bit shattered
yeah even the rolling stones can't help
cause they don't mean as much
as they did when all the music mattered
and even though i can still laugh and cry
inside i know my heart rattles
cause outside i'm seeing
the truth is in tatters
yeah things get shredded and burn
but like the sun
people say the phoenix is still rising
and i like to believe in the good
i'm not one to buy into the hypnotizing
and so i move day to day
even if all the light is wounded and battered
at least i know why that is
cause i can see the truth is in tatters
In tatters
(it ain't no fake news)
In tatters
(got me singing the blues)
In tatters
(gonna get that tattoo)
In tatters
(there's so much to lose)
so i'm going downtown
fill up the car and go
drive down the highway
maybe i'll sing along
maybe i'll take too long
maybe i'll hop a plane
and decide to fly away
but i know the damn thing will land
and i'll be back on the ground
somewhere my mind still scattered
cause no matter how hard i try
i still see the truth is in tatters.

Planning to put music to this. Oh, and for the chorus I need some women back up singers. Join in!

Thanks Jerry.
That's been me. I'd sing it if I could sing.
Thanks. You're hired, Matt!
Enjoyed.
Thank you, Gary.
Nice. Sounds about right for the times we're living in with some good touches of humor. Good luck with the backup singers.
"when all the music mattered" set the tone for me, taking me down memory lane to "the day the music died." *
All right. Many thanks to Christian and Beate.
Nicely put together. I love the line Beate pointed out *
Hi Foster. Thanks.
"i see that the truth is in tatters", no surprise.
Exactly. Thanks, Kitty.
