Got bored, tried to write a song, give me some critique

Uh general TW for mentions of Death and the AIDS crisis beneath the cut.

The sea

I saw you in the tapes

I heard your voice before it went

It was beautiful then

You are beautiful now

I still remember you

I saw you on the sea

You were alone and shouting

For your life and memory

You died so long ago

We never could have met

A generation lost

So cast your quilted net

And find my name within the sea

There’s a place for you and me

As we wash up from the sea

In the village not to long ago

The men inside the square

They fight for us and them

Yet the king turns his back on us

Look pretty as you fall

Do nothing as you die

They demand so much

They took your life

And you still fought against it all

As the sea rose around us all

You died so long ago

We never could have met

A generation lost

So cast your quilted net

And find my name within the sea

There’s a place for you and me

The sea is calm now

But its taken you

It’s stolen all our lives

But it lives on

And we live on

And on and on

Thanks to you

Like you could have

Like you should have

Like you would have

If you had been given a choice
