Hold Yourself High

• Artist: Tagga
• Description: A song I wrote today. The verses are slow and serene, whereas the triplets are a bit faster paced and dramatic.
  It's about a young man that gives up on finding his place in the world, and instead falls into a vicious lifestyle that sucks the life out of him.
  The second verse is intentionally shorter, before anybody points it out, as a sort of connection to the character's mental state.
  Feedback is appreciated.

All alone in the city
Nobody knows my name
I like it better this way
Nobody to share my pain.
Sitting all alone in rain.
Escaping is my final wish
Trapped inside a bloody fist
Everything is swell today
Tomorrow things will be the same

I'm on the outside
Center of my mind
Nowhere close by.

Live it up today
Your booze and cocaine
Hold yourself high.

The lights in the city
They keep me based
In this awful place
Where I'm at home
Out on the streets.
No love is inside
The passion has died
I'm all alone
Stuck in the rain.


Out of my brain
The intangible pain
It's taking me over

Don't think I'll stay near
I never belonged here.
Just hold yourself high
