Lyrics: Don't Know How I Got Here (Written by: Taylor Mitchell)
I was born beneath a smoky light,
Couldn't faze me if you tried,
I've got a broken father and a head full of ghosts,
Lost my mother to a paper war,
Lost my mother to a paper war.
I don't know where I'm going but I'm headed there fast,
Floating on the memories of a lifetimes past,
I'm missing that man with the darkened eyes,
He's got the soul of a lion and the claws and the cry,
Soul of a lion and the claws and the cry.
CH: So please help me understand,
How do you smile and shake a cruel mans hand,
Please help me see the light
I don't know how I got here but I don't want a fight,
Don't know how I got here but I don't want a fight.
Woke up today and the sun had died,
People they shivered but they just couldn't cry,
There floating on the fumes of war and cash,
Never come together; never want to go last,
Never come together never want to go last.
And where was that man when the sun went down,
Where was that man when I lost my crown?
Where was that man when I needed him most?
In the fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts,
The fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts,
The fallout shelter with the rest of my ghosts.

Taylor was my guitar teacher and she was the one who first made me want to pursue music. I miss her so much. When I heard what happened I couldn't breathe. I performed a song I wrote with her at her tribute at Hugh's room.

Taylor Mitchel was a natural. Great lyrics and vocals.

I love this song and find it incredibly meaningful. I just saw a program on TV about Taylor and what happened to her. I'm so sorry. <3

I just read about Taylor Mitchell in the paper today, they had a recap on the top stories of 2009. I've never heard of her before, but I'm liking every song I've heard so far.
