Wrote this completely pissed
Still am

Enjoy and critique

Invasions of the legal kind

Tried all my life to scream my way
Out of this gray and empty tomb
Until I found out that I could sing
But the bricks they still did not move

I can't sing like the fiftys
I love it but it's not the times
Now we all scream and sing about
Invasions of the legal kind

All my life, I've tried to make someone proud
I've worked my ass off and wrote some songs
Then again made some mistakes like an idiot
Trying my best not to let anybody down

I can't sing like the fiftys
I love it but it's not the times
Now we all scream and sing about
Invasions of the legal kind

I stare blindly at my bright expensive phone
Looking for a cheap source of self assurance
Wishing for something to show that I'm not alone
It's a good job I took the nice mans insurance

I can't sing like the fiftys
I love it but it's not the times
Now we all scream and sing about
Invasions of the legal kind

I've been looking for a silly heaven
Or at least somewhere over the border
Where hell in my head doesn't scream
And I can harbor fantasys of moving on

I can't sing like the fiftys
I love it but it's not the times
Now we all scream and sing about
Invasions of the legal kind

Numbers lead to my bank account
Which tells me how much I can drink
If it's not a lot I listen to music sober
Alone so that I can just think

I can't sing like the fiftys
I love it but it's not the times
Now we all scream and sing about
Invasions of the legal kind

I like it.  Depending on the tempo, it might get a little long.

I didn't really get this, so the title doesn't get developed enough for me. Also the near rhymes aren't near enough for me - sorry.

There were some parts where I could really pinpoint what the song was about and what you were trying to say, but the main hook itself 'invasions of the legal kind' completely lost me. It might be one of those songs that you write to get all the emotion out but then you can go back to it later on and change and tweak the lines/structure to make it less cryptic?
