Well, now that I got my third week song turned in, I'm posting assignment #2 as promised. The prompt was "Zero Star Hotel" and I hated it. I had no idea what to do with it. And then it all came rushing out. It came from a long held resentment that I'd, for the most part, buried since I never got a chance to express it. The crappy thing about burrying things is that they don't stay buried. They worm their way back up and effect the way you relate to people in present time. So, I was glad to get this little bit of history off my chest. It doesn't apply to my life at present and it's very one sided. It's a judgemental in the moment perspective which is all one ever gets when open and honest communication doesn't happen. Which kind of sucks but, whatever. I can believe the worst or the best about people. It's always my choice and I know well enough that it's best to eventually choose the one that brings me peace. I'll say this, there isn't a person alive that I don't wish complete peace and happiness. I get angry but I don't like to stay there. Too much weight on my soul.
Zero Star Hotel
Everybody hurts, everybody cries
Everybody gets but most, they just get by
How you gonna say no one relates to your distress
No one has a life that’s free of any pain
But most don’t have the time to sit here and complain
So, how you gonna say you have it harder than the rest
While you’re sitting at the bar at the zero star hotel
Where the writing on the wall is always meant for someone else
If you don’t know who you are, you can get a room as well
Cause you never get too far // when you’re lying to yourself
Everybody helped everyone get through
And everybody tried to get across to you
How you gonna say that no one cares and walk away
If you only ever mean what you never really say
Then what is it you feel? Is it real anyway?
How you gonna find another reason to complain
While you’re sitting at the bar at the zero star hotel
Where the writing on the wall is always meant for someone else
If you don’t know who you are, you can get a room as well
Cause you never get too far when you’re lying to yourself
When you’re lying to your self
When you’re lying to yourself
While you’re sitting at the bar at the zero star hotel
Where the writing on the wall is always meant for someone else
If you don’t know who you are, you can get a room as well
Cause you never get too far
Sitting at the bar at the zero star hotel
Where the writing on the wall is always meant for someone else
If you don’t know who you are, you can get a room as well
Cause you never get too far when you’re lying to yourself
When you’re lying to yourself
When you’re lying to yourself
