Noam Weinstein - Used to Be a Songwriter Lyrics

In my earliest stages, back round the dark ages
Before rings, before wheels, just past fire
I used to be a musician, yes, me
I used to be a songwriter, yes, sir

When the grand and the gruesome
Burned bright as a new son
And the heart on my sleeve even brighter
I used to be a singer, yes me
I used to be a songwriter, yes, sir

Had an idea for a hit i could hatch
Bout the gowns i once wore
And the gates i once crashed
As i stepped to the front of the stage for my cut
When the curtain came down
And the house lights went up

Hear that drone 'bove my hat as it drops the bomb that
I've become the kingdom's latest hire
Oh, but i used to be a true artist, yes, me
I used to be a songwriter, yes, sir
