From My Living Room Series: Sombre

I wrote Sombre in high school. It will always remind me of my beloved friend Stacey aka Barico who sat at the piano with me singing this and whatever else our crazy, hyper, warped-sense-of-humor selves came up with. I treasure those memories.

Sombre is one of those songs about the world and its problems. I hardly play it but every so often, I do. Even though the lyrics are mostly sad, there's a hopefulness in the chords and melody.

Happy Friday Anomalies.

The Anomaly

Sombre

All I can see

Is blinded to me

A world so cold and lonely

Chaos is her name

She shows no shame

No mercy is the game

Countdown until

Destruction of the will

Inevitably love remains hostile

Hate has no color

It destroys and commits murder

Distraught and distressed

Why is this world

Sombre

Painted face

Lacking grace

Questioning the validity of this place

Muffled cries

Hopeless tries

To ignite the endless fight

Ignorance I see you

Standing tall and true

No remorse no idea

Not even a clue

As to who tells the truth

Who lies

Who survives

Who dies

The list could go on

With my eager, blinking, confused eyes

When the world is healed of sin

Tell me when

To leave this mountain of oblivion
