Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Waiting for a song I'll never write Can't find the thoughts to satisfy Persistent waves keep pushing out The motivation to even try I've got a million lines I've started with no end Phrases go unresolved Born just to suspend I wish I could write songs Like Pedro the Lion But a prophet is no prophet In their own mind I want that headspace Of the mountain goats that anxious confidence Of Rivers Cuomo Every thought rendered invalid Before it even sees the light of day Consistently at an intersection Yielding the right a way My fear is I think I'll come off Sounding pretentious Because it's all been done before I've got nothing new or inventive Maybe my voice Won't be heard till I'm dead and buried Volumes never dared To share, just carried I write one line And feel like an artist I write one more And convinced it's garbage Maybe that's the struggle For those who create at all It's likely I'll never know for sure If I can't break this dialogue I wish I could write songs like backward walk But a prophet is no prophet in their own thoughts I wish I could evoke the depths of Julien Baker but I'm gonna guess these thoughts will only live on paper I'm thinking it's past time To forget it or risk it Sing these songs of mine No matter who listens
