about
This song is just one sandwich out of a lil picnic basket of songs I've written over the past year or so. Back in October 2020 I collaborated with my now beautifully mustached pal from Highschool, Sam Chassy to get some songs recorded in New Haven, CT. Partially for an audio recording project Sam had over at UNH last semester, and partially to bring some songs Ive had in my head to life in a professional setting. and Hooooooooo boy im feelin real good about these tracks, but this one right here I've wanted to put out before anything else. There's more work to be done on these tracks, including this one, as we ended up just banging out 5 songs in one 18 hour session a few months ago, so we're going back in for some redos in the coming months before we're ready to present what's been in the works for a while now. And I couldnt be more excited. Excuse me, before I get all original and mysterious about this, but *ahem* "s o o n"
lyrics
“I’m bad at introductions”
That’s something that I used to say to myself a year ago
Yet today is another day I dont expect to shine, Im to blame
Ive been putting curses on my mind like,
"Im bad at being social xPPP”
Yeah, thats a fucking fact sometimes, but we all have highs and lows
And thats the point :)
Convincing myself its all so black and white is a choice
I hope theres still color in my eyes, Well,
Ive been so predictive
(Im losing the thought, I might as well just let you lead my mind)
That hasn't been working out for me,
(cause I feel like I know myself way too well)
But Im just a human being in my prime,
it hurts like hell, picking the same old scabs as time goes by
Im showing off my weaknesses by making them all character traits
(Stumbling over words to your face)
When I just wanna communicate sometimes
But Ive been catatonic all my life
Locked away in a cloud, precipitation wont come down
I would stay if you asked, And I would stay cause I wanted to
We could smoke some weed and watch tv like we always do
And you can tell me all about all your dreams and visions, you’re gifted no matter what
But Ive been feeling less like myself this afternoon and that can really suck
Puppeteering a disingenuous facade of your genuine self invalidates everything you feel, oh god, I feel like throwing up
(I promise im okay for sure)
Im good at being the person I wanna be
(I know theres not a simple cure)
I love all my friends and I love watching them all succeed
(Ive been okay with existing on the floor)
But I havent been utilizing the gifts I have
(Sleep away until I get sore)
Its easy to concentrate on the shit you lack
(I promise im still here for sure)
My therapist says I should focus on myself
(I know theres not a simple cure)
I tend to look at the dead and wonder how I can help
I stayed cause you asked, and I stayed cause I wanted to
But It’s been 3 hours since I’ve been home and I miss my room
And I don’t know if I could handle more conversation right now
