This is the first song I ever recorded, and it is somehow even more rough than the rest of the demos.
lyrics
Since I was a kid I learned never to put a full effort into anything
If you got a problem you can just wait it out and it'll solve itself eventually
Now I've gotten older and I can see things have changed for me
All my second chances are gone and my luck has run empty
I can hear the resounding chorus of everyone telling me
(Chorus)
You got the heart but you don't got the follow through
You know as well as I there's no one else to blame but you
All those years of apathy and coasting by have finally come to a close
My debts have all come due and for it I've got nothing to show
From this reverie I have been so rudely awoke
Just as my resolve had arrived soon enough it has been broke
I can hear the resounding chorus of everyone telling me
You could do great things if you wanted to
You could be something great if you wanted to
It doesn't seem like you want to
Why don't you want this as bad as you do?
I can hear the resounding chorus of everyone telling me
(Chorusx2)
