Considering the possibilities/
Of how this piece is gonna be written/
I can't help but wonder what's the purpose of my being/
I do my best in writing to convey what I am seeing/
But why do I do this?/
What is the meaning?/
Is it because this is the only way I know how to exist?/
The only way to show my existence?/
I know I'm not the best at this/
But FYI, I really do try/
And I'll never write a lie just to put shit out/
But I've become so scared/
Just to talk to you/
My insecurities have engulfed me/
I'm constantly rethinking/
The words to write down and record/
Will my voice you're hearing/
Be the one you'll always long for?/
Or be Ignored/
Or abandoned/
Because I'll grow to lead another path/
I fear for the aftermath/
Wilted and outraged, yet motivated to reach the next stage/
These words we write on this page/
Are the facts to our great story/
I want to see what all of these years will bring me/
Because honestly, I'm full of negativity/
Already people are trying to change me/
Convert my individuality/
I guess I'm finally doing something right.../
With this voice, I give my pure emotion/
I bridge out my hole soul/
With no first impression for sale/
This is just you and me/
Being to Being/
The only difference is that I am singing/
So call these words shit/
I call it a journal entry/
I welcome you to my fucking mind/
This is how much you mean to me/
There is no money in this/
This music business/
We're just whoring ourselves/
Presenting ourselves on these shelves/
Nonetheless this nonsense/
Is all I posses/
It's all I long for/
And I could careless if it fucking kills me/
Exhausted and through with being vague in my words/
The truth being told is well worth deserved/
But what do I desire?/
The pressures building/
I'm stretched financially/
And at war with who and what I wanna be/
Wilted and outraged, yet motivated to reach the next stage/
These words we write on this page/
Are the facts to our great story/
Staring into the face of opportunity/
But only if the timings right/
We're reaching to be your everything/
Even if we're left with nothing/
I'm giving this my all/
Even if I'm left with nothing/
Even if I'm left with nothing/
Nothing at all/
All or nothing/
They say to never give up on your dreams/
To me it's giving up on living/
It’s awe or/
Nothing/
