When the Music Died in Me
I chose "American Pie" by Don McLean as my inspiration.

Don McLean - American Pie Lyrics
Artist: Don McLean
Album: American Pie
Genre: Folk
I looked, but could not find: The sun. The shine. The ray.
Once upon a time ago
First thing I did
Turned on radio or
Put in the CD
Played it over and over again
‘til tears floated away
But something happened along the way
No more fireflies did I see
Night became darker
Music died in me
Left my mind
My soul
Lots of doctors tried
still, my music died
Did I care anymore?
Nothing seemed worth living for
All were better off without me
No more use could I be
I know what you’re thinking
‘Cause I see
I see it in your eyes
Days can’t always be grey
Loneliness
Desperately depressed
Each step like all the rest
Music died in me
Oh see
See my fireflies fly away
Pistols are real my friend
Traumatic thrills
Rides into space
No longer able to run the race
After all this time
Weights too heavy
All the songs sound the same to me
Oh see, see my fireflies fly away
No air to breathe
Doorways blocked
Two of you – one of me
When my music died inside of me
Hell is in the heat
Children backpacking
Only to be turned back
Twine the wire
Even tighter
Now the pundits
Smell a story
Someone falling from grace
Oh, when the fireflies fly away
The music dies in me
And in you, too
Pain and suffering
Ebola and another in need
Connected via nets and space
‘Cause media sales
Sweep through
Wall Street
Under baggy eyes
There is no sleep
And as technicians went to work
To wi-fi the world
I saw my fireflies had flown away
Leaving darkness behind every day
I looked
But could not find
The sun, the shine, the ray
The day the music died in me
