about

I once knew a man who where a periodic alcoholic. He were functioning while at work, but at home he drank. His wife left him and he had very little contact with his daughter. He sometimes called her when drunk. Even if he loved his daughter he didn't seem to have the strength to get out of the abuse

lyrics

Stuck

One old scarred soul
Wears on a city park-bench
With the bottle he needs to survive
Has never before
And probably will never ever
Lose his faith in the ties
weaving the dream together, plays it once more
Again and again and again
Reminding him of the long lost times from before
And every long lost friend

Cannot find reason enough to live
And without breaking a single tear
He begs his daughter to forgive him
Every day every year
I should have been there
I should have stood there by your side
But I got lost somewhere
Between the darkness and shadows behind

Like every night
Anxiety colors his sleep and
Freedom is lost in sin
And every night
He tries to fight it but loses
His will is too weak to win
Chains down his mind in shackles
In body so frail
With thirst that won’t disappear
He trembles around in the darkness and cannot see
The bright way to get out of there

Cannot find reason enough to live
And without breaking a single tear
He begs his daughter to forgive him
Every day every year
I should have been there
I should have stood there by your side
But I got lost somewhere
Between the darkness and shadows behind

about

Smisch Sweden

I'm a singer-songwriter from Sweden recording my own music

I love to write music!
When I was nine years old my mother taught me a few chords and how to play them. She told me she had written songs when she was young. That's when it started!

Since then I have written hundreds of songs. Some I have left behind, but most of them I still pick up the guitar and play sometimes.
