The Irish In Me

• Artist: Ryosei_Hime
• Description: This one's kinda crappy. It's about my Irish heritage. I was longing so sorely for the Emerald Isle - something inside me wants it so bad - but I can never put that longing into words, so instead I wrote about the bad things inherited from being of the Gaelic persuasion. XP

Laugh through my tears,

Struggle through the years,

This is what it means

To have the Irish in me.

My prayers fall on deafened ears.

Godless is the Irish in me.


Self defeating mind,

Always two steps behind,

This is what it means

To have the Irish in me.

In this bottle I will find,

Drunk is the Irish in me.


Cut my nose off in spite.

I have every right.

This is what it means

To have the Irish in me.

Never am I ever contrite.

Rebel is the Irish in me.


Desolate my heart,

Mind full of art,

This is what it means

To have the Irish in me.

I've no idea where to start.

Hopeless is the Irish in me.


The luck fails

And poverty prevails.

This is what it means

To have the Irish in me.

Tough as nails

These Irish genes.


....Damn this Irish in me....
