More tablet recordings! Here's a self-reflective one musically inspired by Green Day's "Misery"

lyrics

Verse 1:
It happens in a heartbeat
Yes, it happens one by one
Queues are forming in my brain
And I can't get the backlog done

I'll wade across the sea
Up to my knees in makeup
I broke my toys
From playing rough

Chorus:
My dreams flow out my ears
And soak into my sheet
They stain your dress
And now they're softening my feet

Try not to drown right now
Life jacket's out of reach
Left all alone on this
Abandoned beach

Verse 2:
It happens in a heartbeat
Yes, it happens way too fast
My brain invokes the present
Tries to substitute the past

Compensate for failure
With a trace of fake success
Unintentional replacement
Means I'm settling for less

Chorus:
My dreams flow out my ears
And soak into my sheet
They stain your dress
And now they're softening my feet

Try not to drown right now
Life jacket's out of reach
Left all alone on this
Abandoned beach

*solo*

Verse 3:
It happens in a heartbeat
Yes, it happens in an instant
Blink for a second
And I'm pretty sure I've missed ten

How shallow am I?
Ditching people like it's their fault
Thought that I was done
But that's not all

Bridge:
I used your plights for inspiration
Utilized your sadness for my gain
And if that's not enough, I used mine too
At least I'm compensated for my pain

Chorus:
My dreams flow out my ears
And soak into my sheet
They stain your dress
And now they're softening my feet

Try not to drown right now
Life jacket's out of reach
Left all alone on this
Abandoned beach
