Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
All of these creative choices I've defended Doing everything I can, feeling overextended Am I lesser cause I panic and I cannot adjust To these social situations that I'm often presented? When my dad's at home adjusting to his brand new appendage Cauterised's chorus lies, the verses, I meant it The glass of milk lyric, I've come to resent it But I've had some trouble sleeping since that song ended 8 year old me would be heartbroken I'm not a writer I can't start ideas, develop or finish either Staring at a blinking cursor, the screen brighter My life a movie, Charlie Kaufman is the screenwriter I need to slip into a life that's easier An attention span whittled away for years by social media Then COVID hit that shit like a meteor Procrastinated every little thing, I got wearier And now I can't relax, cause my brain sees doing nothing as wrong It took me four fucking months to write the lyrics for this song Unproductive, a passing judgement, moving on Unfulfilling hours fill my days, moving time along I feel lazy, I feel like vermin I hear people say my work ethic is absurd, man Oh yeah, is it? Really? If I was so determined Then I'd still know how to speak a single word of German And the album would've been out by winter But creativity takes patience I missed, and You can't carve sculptures without a few splinters And all for some art that I put my soul into I'm making too many checks, just like receipts Overthinking, place my own self in the hot seat Every aspect of my life, columns on a spreadsheet Record and process that shit, throw it right on a beat, beat No label on my mental, no label for release Put myself into my music till I'm missing a piece Summer was three whole months, felt like just two weeks Felt like I wasted it, I cried, bundled up in my sheets It's scary this is how time will pass for me now, bask in it now Wondering who around me's masking a frown, pass it around Cause I don't wanna be translucent alone I'm doing what I can here, I threw you a bone Am I exaggerating feelings, or are they my own Fraudulent lyricist, co-writer: Rhymezone Look back at the old me, I'm not sure if I've grown 4AM, blue eyes, twitter feed on my phone Traded less day for more night But that's a bad trade like a haunter with an eviolite I can't evolve without the right climate Not on the same page, cause we kept things quiet Everyone else feels bad so you feel bad too Then you feel worse cause you think you're making this about you Self-exploitative, writing lines when I feel blue Result's a downer of a song, I hope it isn't true Plans indeterminate so I felt like shit Even worse, didn't get any lyrics out of it I just remembered something I said 3 years ago And I don't like how I worded it I should move on, but that's not something I'm great at Check the lock once, minute later I'm straight back Said I might have OCD, wasn't easy to say that Know you apologised, but you can't take a laugh back Give myself credit, might need to renegotiate OCD gave me intrusive thoughts, I disassociate But it's hard to disconnect myself from it when it's The disorder people treat like a personality trait "I'm soooo OCD" nah you just like shit ship-shape Acting too brave for someone self-diagnosed, fucks sake This album's good now, in a year it's a pisstake Like Normal Kind of Strange, retconned to a mixtape When it's done, I'm scared I won't release it Cause I won't be brave enough to put this track on and repeat it I'm scared the ones I love think I don't mean it Or think the album's shit, and I poured my whole heart out for nothing Music, film, and writing, damn I've cast a wide net Looking for that one thing, but hasn't arrived yet I've got the goals that a true artist might set But am I good enough to justify the mindset I'm not immortal, but something I make Could be, so I've gotta work with no breaks So despite what I've said, nothing I am is a mistake I've been translucent, now I can return opaque Wondering Wondering if I'm saying the right things Wondering if the words I'm choosing to say Mean anything to anyone but me Wondering if I'm saying things because I mean it Or because it seems like the right thing to say Wondering if I'm getting words off my chest But they're still circulating my mind Wondering if words can actually change anything Wondering if anyone else feels like this Wondering if you're even listening You've shot yourself in the foot And you're stumbling Wondering is this how much time it took To become someone worth being I've never spelled it out Cause the letters themselves Were beautiful alone But they never had any meaning to me If I hold your head And tell you it'll all be fine Will you hold mine in time And will you tell me that I break too easily So I can make myself stronger And I can hold on a little longer this time Saying everything will be alright Everything will be okay I promise Saying everything will be alright Everything will be okay I promise If I hold your head And tell you it'll all be fine Will you hold mine in time (Letters themselves were beautiful alone) And will you tell me that I break too easily So I can make myself stronger And I can hold on a little longer this time (Letters themselves were beautiful alone) This time This time This time
