about

This one goes out to JKR. This was also written because of a prompt from Brian Ross's songwriting workshop (www.patreon.com/BrianRoss/posts). Chords inspired by Mile Magnificent by Molly Ofgeography.

lyrics

I grew up with the books and the bottles and the potions
Of clever crafted words and wands and weird emotions
Over this kid who I’d never met before
My dad read to me about his schooling and his war

Chorus:
Oh, I’m tired
Tired of you
Oh, my friends
Are tired of you too
Why can’t you just go to sleep
And give us all some rest
Yeah, I think that that would be
Simply for the best

The world isn’t split into Death Eaters and good people
But isn’t it ironic how you kind of turned out evil?
The author could have died and we all could have mourned
But now there is more work to do, more work to do, more

Chorus

I wish you hadn’t lived long enough to become the villain
What if you hadn’t shaped a generation of children?
You gave us what we needed, and then you gave us more
And as we choked it down we drowned, throats swollen and sore

Chorus

Tired friends have left us and others are still here
Sunken eyes and twisted hands and one more Butterbeer
Take your poison somewhere else and please leave us alone
We don’t need you anymore; we’re already home.

Transfiguration: A Wrock Comp for Trans Rights

This is a wildly uneven, unpredictable collection. And that is as it should be. From spoken word to rap to singer/songwriter acoustic to hard rock, this has at least one song for everyone. John Gaunt

With You, Whatever Happens
by Lauren Fairweather

supported by 5 fans who also own “Tired”

A long-awaited wizard rock album from a pioneer of the wrock community. Mostly wrock, but there are some other nerdy songs thrown in, though they don't disrupt the cohesion. Lauren is always awesome, and if you liked her previous music, you will enjoy this fuller sound even more. yourwizardrockresource
