Hey precious daddy can you hear me now from the lost and
Found although your six feet underground.
In the mirror, I can see your face just another trace of all the
Tragedy you passed down.
There are times when I can hear your voice, it's just like my
Voice and it still haunts me when you come around.
I feel like I wasted time when I didn't have you on my mind.
I feel like I'm all alone, how could I have known you would leave
Me here alive.

Oh my God, how did I make this far?
Why I can't I be where you are?
My God I think I'm dying.

Precious daddy can you hold my hand like you did back then?
Can you forgive me of all my sins?
Come to me and take this pain away cause it's all I see.
It would be heavenly to see you again.
I feel like I wasted time when I didn't have you on my mind.
I feel like I'm all alone.
How could I have known you would leave my side.
It was all so simple then when it all began, and I was your
Smile.
And now you're just words in stone, you're just dust and bones
And I'll join you there in time.

Oh my God, how did I make it this far?
Why can't I be where you are?
My God I think I'm dying.
Oh my God why can't you take it away just give me one more
Day of just apologizing.

How could you take him from me?
It's like you spit in my face.
I've got his grandson to raise, with no grandfather to say.
Don't let him end up like me cause he'll be down on his knees,
Asking you where could I be.
I wonder what you would say?
(yeah yeah yeah)
I feel like I wasted time when I didn't have you on my mind.
I feel like I'm all alone.
How could I have know you would leave my side.
It all was so simple when it all began and I was your smile.
And now you just words in stone, you're just dust and bones
And I'll join you there in time.

Oh my God, how did I make it this far?
Why can't I be where you are?
My God I think I'm dying.
Oh My God why can't you take it away or give me just one more
Day of just apologizing.

    Josey wrote this song for his dad who died in 1997 in NYC, he was shot while driving his semi-truck, my brother and Josey are good friends they went to elementary school together then met back up in highschool and have been friends since, unfortunatly i never get to meet him, hopefully i will one day.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
