Hell by Ringlefinch Lyrics

[Verse]
As a young man I said to my father
"I'm leaving here today
I’ve got my meager means all packed
And I'm going to make my own way"

[Pre-Chorus]
"It's nothing you have done and there is nothing you can say"

[Chorus]
"I’m going to Hell
Any way that I can
I'm going to Hell
For I am an honest man
I'm going to Hell
Come catch me if you can"

[Verse]
The first few steps were hardest
As I set out for the West
The weight of my expectations
Lay like suet in my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
But naivete is no one's fool, naivete knows best

[Chorus]
I'm going to Hеll
Any way that I can
I'm going to Hell
For I am an innocent man
I'm going to Hell
Comе catch me if you can

[Verse]
(So) I picked up a guitar
And I learned to hold a tune
Wrote a couple of songs and a poem or two
On a rainy afternoon

[Pre-Chorus]
Three chords and a handful of metaphors ripped off from Mills & Boon

[Chorus]
I'm going to Hell
Any way that I can
I’m going to Hell
For I am an earnest man
I’m going to Hell
Come catch me if you can
[Bridge]
I hide myself away
Behind this mask of pretty words
The longer that I wear it
The less it feels absurd

[Pre-Chorus]
A cargo cult confessional like Robert Frost stuck in third

{Instrumental Bridge}

[Bridge]
The shape of the thing is not the thing
Is the lesson that I learned
You can't cross a bridge when you come to it
If all your bridges have been burned

[Pre-Chorus]
An early bird in the hand is worth a bush full of worms
And there’s a special place in Hell...
For the lyrically infirm...

[Chorus]
I'm going to Hell
Any way that I can
I'm going to Hell
For I am a cynical man
I'm going to Hell
Come catch me if you can
I’m going to Hell
As quickly as I can
I'm going to Hell
I am a glib old charlatan
I'm going to Hell
Come catch me if you can
