This one means a lot to me,as it was written about my dad.
When it finally struck me that he wouldnt be around forever.
Hopefully it will strike a chord with anyone who wishes their parents could still be around.
lyrics
We used to play those silly games
Where we we could die and rise and fall again
but some things never stay the same
a life is one thing we cant rearrange
She didnt mean to hurt you daddy
it doesnt happen like that on tv
please get up now its not funny anymore
and i dont want to play this game again
to take a life is the final price some have to pay
you'l know the cost when lives are lost, theres no moire days
shallow is the man who doesnt understand how much it means
like actors on a stage, the suicide is played, those final scenes
So make the most of what you have
and dont feel sorry for yourself
your always better off than someone else
so make the most of what you have

This Electrics album features my song KayDee's Lament, which was written for a special person who is no longer with us,and it means a lot to me. I got to sing it on the album too. monsterpop
Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
