about

Kristen Wiig (Spokane, WA)

I started working on this around 1am last night but the house I'm staying at was broken into and I didn't get a chance to start working on it again until about an hour ago, it's real boring and I kept running out of breath whispering vocals

lyrics

why can't I write something beautiful
why can't I write something lovely
why can I only write in a way that makes them think lesser of me
it's becoming something ugly
they all see that I'm begging for money
it's almost funny how little I am worth loving

if I spend two months on a song
they'll say that it's taking too long
and if I release it now they'll say the mastering is wrong
everything is base level, you know you've got too much treble
we don't care how lonesome you are if you can't fix yr levels

if I can't be happy, I guess I'll just try again
you know I love you maggie, I just want to try again
I think back to died laughing, it almost makes me try again
at the risk of this beat dragging, can't we just try again

I'm sick of feeling slow
I'm sick of being out in the cold
but I know at this rate
I'll have to find a road to take

because if I don't end the night up dead
I'll base my year on the words that you said
don't discredit me, you ran ahead
I was stuck on a harmony

if I can't be happy, I guess I'll just try again
you know I love you maggie, I just want to try again
I think back to died laughing, it almost makes me try again
at the risk of this beat dragging, can't we just try again
