Proud

song

[Verse 1]
Do not propose to be forced.
The eyes of yours,
They look so lost again.
Do not shout out loud.
Muffled sounds,
You make me proud again.
Oh, babe.

[Chorus]
And I wasn't afraid of losing my good-for-nothing head.
Blood cannot be made to stop oozing from the veins.
May God make it wine so I don't feel guilty for my lies.
And you probably think that I would feel shitty cutting my own scars.
I hope I made you proud.

[Verse 2]
It's not hurt to lay in dirt.
Wait for alert,
The house is gonna burn down.
I was rescued, they were miscued.
I'm sad to miss it.
And maybe this is what I'm proud
Of, wow!

[Chorus]
And I wasn't afraid of losing my good-for-nothing head.
Blood cannot be made to stop oozing from the veins.
May God make it wine so I don't feel guilty for my lies.
And you probably think that I would feel shitty cutting my own scars.
I hope I made you proud.

[Bridge]
Don't stop fighting, but stop if
You can't fight anymore.
Never betray your life beliefs,
But betray them for someone's love.
Don't expect kindness from the audience,
But act like if they care.
If there's no chance, just choose loneliness
Or take charge if you dare.

[Chorus]
And I wasn't afraid of losing my good-for-nothing head.
Blood cannot be made to stop oozing from the veins.
May God make it wine so I don't feel guilty for my lies.
And you probably think that I would feel shitty cutting my own scars.
I hope I made you proud.

Эту песню я написала от лица героя моих рассказов, его зовут Нортон Уэллс (да, он британец по сюжету, хотя довольно тесно связан с Россией). Рассказы о нем появятся в ближайшее время (2024-2025) на сайте проза.ру и Литрес. А эта песня, как и другие произведения, написанные от лица Норта, вошла в мой новый сборник The Blue Days Of Mine. The collection of lyrics, где они собраны в отдельной главе — Norton Wells. Читайте на Литрес! Кстати, на картинке изображён сам Нортон (не без помощи искусственного интеллекта).
