The song "All I Have" by plankton

LYRICS

Tired of pretending
can’t do that - not me
I must sit here in the stillness of my heart

It’s thundering down in me

Waiting for
a chance to hear my own voice
These stolen moments are all I have

It’s thundering down in me
It’s rumbling around in me

I must pretend I’m not
and I can’t let it show
You don’t look too long now
and you pretend you don’t know

It’s thundering down in me
It’s rumbling around in me
It’s buzzing around in me

It’s thundering down in me
It’s rumbling around in me
It’s buzzing around in me
It’s thundering down in me
It’s rumbling around in me
It’s buzzing around in me

STORY BEHIND THE SONG:

This was originally written as a poem kind of thing a long time ago in the truckstop in Plymouth, Indiana, on a paper placemat. When I wrote my first song on guitar and needed lyrics I went digging through a bunch of old papers and found this. I lifted out lines and arranged it into a song. It’s about having to keep things from people when you wish you could just tell the truth but the consequences of the truth are too freaking hard to take. We haven't recorded it yet, but we play it live.
