There, I did it! I wrote (lyrics so far, music definitely to follow!) a song about the struggle of finding the right words and music to write to express a concept, feeling, etc.
It was amazing that i felt inspired to write these lyrics just by taking the time to think more deeply about the writer’s block I have been having the past couple of days.
Hehehe…. Ironic eh?
I hope y’all enjoy it!
Catch You
It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face
So damn pretty but with a sense of disgrace
You know just how to move my soul
And yet you hide and leave me dull
You’ve run away and trapped me here
But I can still hear you in my head
Your shape in words becomes so clear
I’ll catch you where I rest my head
(Yeah I’ll catch you when I rest my head)
My head is spinning and it’s not from the booze
I’m tired of fighting with the words I try to use
To describe what I’m feeling inside my heart
To turn this brokenness into a work of art
You’ve run away and trapped me here
But I can still hear you in my head
Your shape in words becomes so clear
I’ll catch you where I rest my head
(Yeah I’ll catch you when I rest my head)
Sorrow, Joy, and Pain are all called by one name
Though it’s blurry my vision still sees them the same
Each feeling is part of a song that we sing
I’ll try to write you down as if I’m listening
