Writing and Reporting Lyrics by Val Bauer

The Spoils of War

2019

So you say that you're tired of depressing songs
Well I'm tired of living them
You know, sometimes it takes all I have
Just to go through the motions
And I know it's hard to understand
That's probably why I don't have a hand
To pull me through to the light, say I'll be all right
So I sing this
But I'm not writing them
I'm reporting them
I'm living them
And I'm dying to
Live a life that feels alive
Where I can get back where I feel all right
And I can write my story and start living it
Instead of the other way around
I'm not going down
Sometimes I think I don't want to stay
If it's always going to feel this way
But I know that the life I've lived
Hasn't always been like this
And the thought of that gives me hope
That I can get back to the life I used to know
Where, with my eyes closed tight
The words I shout to the sky
And these stories—
I'll be writing them
Not just reporting them
I'll be living them
Cos I'm dying to
Live a life that feels alive
Where I can get back where I feel all right
And I can write my story and start living it
Instead of the other way around
I'm not going down
I'm gonna live a life that feels alive...
