about

Reasons for demo:
- Incomplete; out of material
- Vocals still need some mixing work

Pretty much the anthem of a struggling music artist. The title for this just kinda stuck with me. This was right around the time my living situation changed, and I was unable to record any more lines.

lyrics

I'm lost in myself
Stuck in a hole of purgatorial gold
Get motion sickness when I stand up and move
So I stay seated and feel like there is nothing to do
But I hold on and hope that I can pull through

I'm looking up at these people with success in their pockets
And a name to parade
Because they sharpen their blade and make sure not to fade
And then there's me
Just sittin' back
Watching with envy
Hoping something ascends me
And the people commend me
Cause I wanna make a living but my effort prevents me

I don't wanna share what I feel is incomplete to me or subpar
But then I never have a thing to show
Cause everything that I've been doing's in development hell
And there's no way to tell if I'll get finished or not
Cause there's a spot in every song where I get caught and get stuck in a block
Then I just stop

Hey who's this guy
No one's ever heard of you
It's kinda hard to make a name when you don't finish what you do
Maybe if I had the time and extra money to spare
Would I find the motivation
Would it help take me there

Am I broken, am I lazy
Does it seem crazy to say that I am set on the idea that I can turn this around
But the stress and frustration keeps on bringing me down

I got
Ideas
I've set
The plot
It's all
I've got
But it don't write itself
One day
I want
To show
I'm not
Useless
And say
I made it all the way

Too many times I've had words but don't know how to say it
Too many times I would start something and never make it
Visual accompaniments
Without the skill to present
My intent is never recognized and buried again

I got the groundwork and blueprints
But got no money to do it
Avoiding assets from the show in fear that Hasbro might sue it
No understanding of labels and law
No ability to draw
I ain't got a tablet, just a pen in my hand
And wishing on a star
Racking my brain
I try to keep myself from going insane
From the pain of working overnight and every day
At a fast food chain
Trying my best not to complain
But the strain, it's got me hooked up on a ball and a chain
And man I hate it but I gotta get paid
And let me take a minute just to explain
It's hard to balance working double-time writing rhymes
Man I wish I had a little more downtime
