The Turntable of Life

On the turntable I spin these songs Memories of my life From Floyd to Zepplin My scars run deep As I watch that black circle spin The labels all different All unique lessons in life Expectations lost along the way As the tunes play in these old ears I think about things I should have done Directions I avoided because of fear From Hysteria to New Jersey Love lost and gained No sense of accomplishment Lost in insecurity A mark for society A beat down of confidence from all angles I lost touch of me I was a mere boy in a young man's skin Lost track of life Nowadays I spin past the regrets Lift the needle of despair off I focus on the music of my life now Two beautiful kids and a wife of 14 years I still spin those vinyl to reminisce and hold to some part of my past The future is full of reissues with better results The turntable of life will spin to the end and I will enjoy every label I see and carry on with positivity and love for my family and the friends that come once in a great album.
