Red ink on feathers and stories unwritten Young kids uneasy and struggling to fit in Tigers without stripes and birds without wings These are a few of life’s terrible things Old Fading sunsets and chased broken dreams Thick black smoke and slightly shattered schemes Evil devils who scream at the angle who sings These are a few of life’s terrible things Overdose and dying in drunken car crashes Bottles of champagne and cigarette ashes Chess without pieces and queens without kings These are a few of life’s terrible things When the clouds darken, When the rain falls, When I’m feeling low I simply remember life’s terrible things Like my shaky hands and love that still stings …and then I don’t feel so good

My Terrible Things
Red ink on feathers and stories unwritten Young kids uneasy and struggling to fit in Tigers without stripes and birds without wings These are a few of life’s terrible things Old Fading sunsets and chased broken dreams Thick black smoke and slightly shattered schemes Evil devils who scream at the angle who sings These are a few of life’s terrible things Overdose and dying in drunken car crashes Bottles of champagne and cigarette ashes Chess without pieces and queens without kings These are a few of life’s terrible things When the clouds darken, When the rain falls, When I’m feeling low I simply remember life’s terrible things Like my shaky hands and love that still stings …and then I don’t feel so good
play on these are a few of my favorite things
