Hey steemians. this is my entry for this weeks open mic. Its a song i wrote a few months ago called " Pond (with a thousand pennies) ". A pond with a thousand pennies is how i see my self. I see myself as the pond and the thousand pennies are all the dreams i have that are not coming true at the moment. Some of the lyrics talk about the things i don't like about modern life but the main point of the song is about having a lot of dreams that are not coming true at the moment. As sad as the song might be i hope you enjoy it.
I completely forgot which week it was at the start of the video so i had to keep it in their because it made me laugh.
Lyrics,
(Verse)
I don't believe
In hopes and dreams
They always seem
To pass me by
Never get my hopes up
When things look bright
I just keep my mouth shut
Till the feelings right
(Chorus)
The smoke will fade away oh
With hopes of many
Im a pond with a thousand pennies
(Verse)
If you've got dreams
You won't get far
Thats what they teach
To get what they want
Creating machines
To create machines
Well it makes life seem
So dead to me
(Chorus)
The smoke will fade away oh
With hopes of many
Im a pond with a thousand pennies
(Bridge)
I don't feel the same
Im labelled as insane
But I'm not no I'm not afraid
(Chorus)
The smoke will fade away
With hopes of many
Im a pond with a thousand pennies
Im a pond with a thousand pennies
Im a pond with a thousand pennies
