I started writing this song about 2012 when I first began producing #Folkstep but my production levels were no where near where I felt they needed to be, to do the song justice. Turns out I was no where near where I needed to be to understand the song anyways. Sometimes that happens. Ill write a song and I wont actually know why until much later. Needless to say, after a few years of preparation, I finally finished writing it and gained more of an understanding of what I was trying to reach in the first place. How important home is. How important having a home, a community, loved ones, support ect. Id always dreamed of leaving but it wasnt until I was somewhat unable to return that I fully realized the value.
lyrics
"Burned Out"
Oh, Oh my soul, take me home, make me whole, ive burned out
Oh, Oh my love, take this heart, show me fire, ive burned out
Oh yea I still dream, these days im complicated
Oh yea I still think, Oh and I still think I got it
Oh, Oh my soul, take me home, make me whole, ive burned out
Oh, Oh my love, take this heart, show me fire, ive burned out
Oh yea I still dream, these days im complicated
Oh yea I still think, Oh and I still think I got it
I was left at the bottom, but I rise to the top, some with words tried to sway me, now they see I wont, cant stop, dont ever let nobody try and tell you, what you can and cant do, cause its your love to see thru so love one, love on.
