Written and recorded in Dec 2014 at Western State Hospital in Staunton, VA

lyrics

A2: “Rocken” By: Andrew Neil Matenrick, December 2014

Cut with a Pen
The blood drowns now and then
All the King’s men
Couldn’t put me back together again
To want is for them
A falling star in a world that’s thin
All the kings’ men
Couldn’t put me back together again

I found peace and so much more
No longer rotten
Bloody pieces on the floor
Won’t be forgotten
Police man at the door ignore the knocking
Damned disease
I found the cure
It’s called rocken

rock rock rocken
rock rock rocken
not stoppen
rock rock rocken

It’s hard to rock when you’re all alone
I often talk into a broken phone
I walk the walk followed by a drone
David’s rock has already been thrown
It’s a matter of time before Goliath’s fall
It will free the mind the mind of all
It’s awfully dark but don’t you lose heart
Be a spark and in flames we will rock

We found peace and so much more
no longer rotten
bloody pieces on the floor
won’t be forgotten
policeman at the door
ignore the knocking
damned disease
We found the cure
it’s called rocken

rock rock rocken
rock rock rocken
not stoppen
rock rock rocken
