about

I actually wrote two songs before this that I haven't posted, but this is the first I've been satisfied with in a while. Used stream of consciousness to combine my typical romantic failure song with a creative existensial crisis, and I think it helped me out of my slump. Keeping as a tablet demo to keep it raw.

lyrics

Verse 1:
The foundation
Makes it look like her
The temptation
I wanna be a contender

They share some similarities
But not in life, in death
Creative process wearing thin
My mind's become a mess

Chorus:
Avoid the heatstroke
And bathe in a tub of ice
Being enabled
Would be nice

A ticking timebomb valentine
Could be your death and mine
If I don't make it
Then, that's fine

Verse 2:
A light panic
Like I'm drowning in
The atlantic
Where I've never been

It's not too late to fix my path
Destroy my demons and come back
I'll catch up soon
But I'll be way off track

Chorus:
Avoid the heatstroke
And bathe in a tub of ice
Being enabled
Would be nice

A ticking timebomb valentine
Could be your death and mine
If I don't make it
Then, that's fine
