Song inspired by a short poem by Edwin Arlington Robinson and a Simon and Garfunkle song and my take on the character Richard Cory

lyrics

[Beginning]
My name is Richard Cory i own half of this whole town
was born into society my influence all around
yes my end was gory but I was so renowned
the people loved me how could I back down
But i'm so sorry my father its cause I lost her
i just couldn't feel break again
the night i lost you I just died
im sorry i had too much pride
i knew i could not decide
All my life been full of rye
i just really want to die

(Cory had a gory end he put a bullet through his head)

[Bridge]
I couldnt cope with all pain now
So I Tied a rope and laid low and low
disappearing and wanting to return
hoping i can ever see your face
how i miss you yes i need you

[end]
Never knew a thing about the real me
Just wanted to make you happy and
even if i lived in ambiguity
i could never quit my addictions
i lived life with no purpose or conviction
i hope that theirs no constriction
you were my only ambition
i feel dead struck by tradition
my only purpose was you
your my addiction its true x2
And i cant sleep anymore
