Steemit OpenMic Songwriter's Challenge Week 3 - "What you Stole" - [Original Song]
Hey Ya'll, 


Here's a submission for Steemit Songwriter's Challenge Week 3. The theme was Stolen Soul, which I found extremely difficult to write about. 

Here's a nice sloppy performance of my tune.

## What You Stole 
#
Driving coast-to-coast trying to settle an old score
So many things were left said been down this road before
We used to share the same souls now only mine you seem to hold 
And where is yours cause I can’t to find but taking it is on my mind

I’ve seen through no longer blind if can’t have you then I resign 
To take my share and leave you behind  

So give back my soul that you stole
Don’t use the name that only I called (you)
Give back give back what you stole
Or I’ll take it all 

I drive a road that never ends headlights lighting every bend 
I can’t pretend no I can’t pretend that you’re my friend
That we’re better off apart I stand beside you but feel so far
You broke my heart and I broke yours 

I’ve seen through no longer blind if can’t have you then I resign 
To take my share and leave you behind  

So give back my soul that you stole
Don’t use the name that only I called (you)
Give back give back what you stole
Or I’ll take it all 

We are a million miles apart 
Instead of shining with the stars 
My mind races into the dark 
Once I get my share I can restart 
***

Thanks bud, wish I had more time to work on it and rehearse before making this vid lol.  I'm checking out some entries now!  

Very curious how everyone else fared with this theme.  I found it extremely uninspiring haha

Oh maaan! You totally rocked that one out! Its so awesome how you go the extra mile and push your vocals right to their limit! It gives the song so much energy. And that vocal ladder you climb down is EVEN more iconic than the real ladder you're always rocking! You know the part I mean...
