Collaboration lyrics for your perusal?

STILL

This road I have traveled

No one will condone

Confused, and unraveled

No light has yet shown

So I walk alone

These people I see

All born so blessed

Living so free

Giving much less

So I walk alone

Random, outcast

A friend was all I asked

Left with tears to nurse

Distracted by this curse

This road I have traveled

Chills to the bone

Cold as the gravel

I have gathered and thrown

So I walk alone

So I walk alone

Still I walk alone

    interesting, for sure. When I read lyrics, I like to feel the rhythm of the verses work together, like reading a poem. If they don't do that, it's awkward. Also, I want the words to make sense so I don't have to stop and try to understand what they mean (Dylan)..... Example: first verse, second line I would be more comfortable with (something like) "destination unknown". It fits better (for me) and I can get a picture of this actually happening and relate better to it. (though I CAN see the meaning that nobody that knows writer could condone that he had been traveling this road) But since I don't know the writer, I couldn't say either way if he had or had not been traveling it. (?)

    the second verse sounds like you are an occupier.......and that turns me off some.

    Third verse: 1st line needs more syllables to feel right with the second line (random, left outcast)

    Third verse: I think the third and fourth line should be reversed.....fits better (for me)

    I like the fourth verse. It all fits pretty good and makes sense. (just me talkin')
