What's up party people! I'm late to the party once again this week, but better late than never, right? This song is very close to my heart, the lyrics in particular. I hope you enjoy this entry in the Open Mic contest - a cover of "Men" by The Dodos:

Original Track:

Lyrics:

This is the sign I used to wear,
This is the line. It says I care.
I found a reason,
I found a tear
Last year.

I am a boy, you want a man.
I am indifferent, you want a plan.
I'm getting out,
I'm getting there
Next year.

We are in love,
We are at war.
I feed myself,
You feed the poor.
I write the fiction,
You write the lore.
These are addictions,
I've seen before.
And if I get out,
I won't be saved.
You are my keeper,
I am your slave.
You're in my thoughts,
You're in my way.
Keep all the weakers,
Bury the brave.

This is a game, you're involved.
I am the player, you have control.
There is an ante,
There is a toll
Buy in.

I want a space, you want a home.
You need to have it, you need to own.
Let's build a flower,
Let's watch it grow
And die.

We are in love,
We are at war.
I feed myself,
You feed the poor.
I write the fiction,
You write the lore.
These are addictions,
I've seen before.
And if I get out,
I won't be saved.
You are my keeper,
I am your slave.
You're in my thoughts,
You're in my way.
Keep all the weakers,
Bury the brave.
