Microcosm by Matt Cantrell published on 2021-02-05T19:15:18Z This is yet another brand new song. It turned out to be a little more than I envisioned. It's not filler. In fact. . . . Well, I like it anyway. The style is a little different than some of the more recent stuff. I would call this blues Rock. My influence for this type of genre would be Blues Traveler, Counting Crows, Black Crowes . . . any number of others. This is a first version, so I'm sure some of it may change later after I've listened to it a few thousand times. Lyrics: I’ll bet I know how I must look to you. I’ll bet I know how I must look to you. Hair exploding from my head Like frayed copper wire. Ragged Clothes bare of thread. And ten years out of style. Every time you step out your door And look across the road, I’m sitting on my porch swing here And smoking like a stove. I’ll bet I know how I must look to you. I bet you haven’t thought how you must look to me. I saw your son at the bus stop yesterday. With a mean Frozen grin on his face. Kids in colorful winter coats All except for one. He wears a thin cloth jacket stained and frayed. His hair a tangled and oily disarray. He said nothing to anyone. Stood in the rain and stared. You might know him. He lives just up the street. In the house with the yard that’s gone to seed. His mother left them two months ago For better company. Your boy smacked him across the face He fell with a heavy thud. Dumped the contents of his bag And ground it in the mud. This boy is me Your son is just like you. Ch: Microcosm of humanity On our little street, well No one’s good but we’re not bad. No one’s happy but some are sad. All have eyes trained to the sky, and we’re screaming, Ah! “Please don’t hate me I’m not a saint. “I’m just fumbling through my days.” “Trying not to screw this up and failing.” The little white house across the road Sitting facing me. An older lady once lived alone. She was sixty-three. Never saw any visitors there Not even holidays. About eleven years ago. She up and passed away. That brick house to the left just there With Trump signs in the yard. Lives a preacher who drives a truck. His name is Bill Bernard. He spends all his time on the road His wife just sits at home Many men come to run the train The moment he is gone. No one tells him Hell, not even me. Chorus 2 I’ll bet I know what you must think of me. I’m not the fool you seem to think I am. I’m not the fool you seem to think I am. This is closer than I ever want to be. Don’t give a damn what you must think of me.
