about

I think this was written in December 2015 and I forget when this version was recorded, early 2016. It sounded electronic with the autotune and was too wordy. I recorded it again Dec 2016 and lost it in the crash and other times that year and I never liked the turnout ever with the vocals and kept changing the keys. Did not make the cut.

It was about politics and the country being separated and how metaphorically America is like a insecure person in it's relationship with the world and maybe it reminded me of people I was interacting with at that time that didn't seem to care about me like our apathetic government. Despite my surroundings I will go on anyhow and play music. We have to keep the fire inside us as people despite bad situations, and express ourselves blah blah blah.

lyrics

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.
Keep a match lit inside your brain to keep your desire.
Why some people just give up, I can't figure it out.
They die inside before their times up, I can't figure it out.

So I'm taking a walk around the block to see what the fuss is about.
Is it fireworks or gunshots? The police are out and about.
I'll climb the stairs to my brothers place to try and clear my head.
Brother you inspire me to get these thoughts out my head.

No, I won't wait until I'm dead.

They alienate and separate this country in half.

These politics are just like a failed relationship.
Emotionally unavailable, insecure, little kid.
I don't know know why the senators won't answer calls,
just like the fleeting women that never cared at all.
The President is drunk off gin, so is the Speaker of the House.
I tried to give what I could with whatever was aloud.
America wanted me to kick and bitch and scream.
But fuck your lies and your disguise, I'll save that for the strings.

No, I won't wait for your call.

I'm gonna make the best of it all.

No, I can't figure it out.

No, I can't figure you out.
