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
