Week 51 - Wise Words
I'm writing, recording, and releasing a song a week for a year. I hope it finds you somewhere along the way :)

lyrics

"Don't give up"
Wise words minus the wisdom
I'm learning nothing from these failures
Just new conclusions to keep me from sleep
Data proves there's something wrong with me

My personality will never offset how gross my body is, in fact
It might make it worse
You'd have to be deaf and blind to love me
For I've a mouth that can't stop speaking
And a face that can't help looking like that

And I doubt that you'd want
These calloused hands on you

Who would want to be touched by me?
Who would want to be loved by me?

Situations repeat until I learn the lesson
But what's the lesson here?
A triumphant chorus echoes all around me
There's melodies and counter melodies and backups all conflicting
So which part am I supposed to listen to?

Be quiet I can't tell which voice is speaking the loudest

You have to let go, don't give up, give this to God, persistence is the key, you are not qualified to handle these things, no one could ever love you, you're one stroke away from striking gold, you are the sweetest person I know

You have to let go, don't give up, give this to God, persistence is the key, you are not qualified to handle these things, anyone would be lucky to have you, you're one stroke away from striking gold, you're flat out repulsive

Over and over and over in my head, over and over and over in my head, over and over this rings out
Followed by uncomfortable silence, followed by uncomfortable silence, followed by uncomfortable silence

And then they're back
