Lyrics

Parameters and Prompts: 6/8, RE: to an existing song, chorus less than 10 words

This is an RE: to the song "Mother" by Pink Floyd

Mother I'm older now
Fruition's come to pass
The bombs have all fallen
And your little boy's a mess

I'm drowning in concrete
Inside of this wall
You said not to cry
Or let my feelings show

I played by the rules
I played the fool

So i'm begging you here
Yes tonite here right now
To please set me free
From the grip that you have

'Cuz I'm gasping for air
Like a fish in a boat
But my life hasn't turned out
the way you had proposed

I played by the rules
I played the fool

I played by the rules
I played the fool

I can't say I know the song you're responding to, but your song is excellent in its own right. It feels like an appropriate response to a lot of parenting, generally.

Interesting concept. Replying to a song. I've certainly never thought of doing that.
