I thought this would sound cool if it was more raw-sounding. Not that I know how to make something sound not raw, but I did a minimal amount of editing on this one, which I think shows. It's not my favorite to listen to, but I thought the main riff was kind of fun.

lyrics

Things are feeling kind of funny so i pinch myself
Gotta do a little check to make sure i am here and now
Are opinions worth a penny i guess we'll find out
There are nearly twice as many and it's what the world is all about

I don't know where my life begins and the path that led to it and everything ends

Got a saying that is heavy but still comforting
When i'm on the verge of breaking you can catch me thinking

I am
A reflection
Of everything that's been
And everything therein
You are
A rejection
Of a time that was
And all the sun and stars aren't writing your life
Writing your life
Writing your life
Writing your life

I don't think i wanna think about it anyway
But a lot of times i can't help it and guilt trip through the day
I guess it's not worth it to feel bad about what you can't help but

I recognize myself inside a mirror so i'll tell the reflection the what he needs to hear

I am a rejection
Of everything that's been
And all the things therein
You are a reflection
Of a time that was
And so the sun and stars aren't
Writing your life
Writing your life
Writing your life
Writing your life

What was i doing before i was born
Just awaiting to pop like a kernel of corn
I don't know if it matters on what brought me here
But we're all together inside a big ear
