Melodies & Fantasies Posted on 2015-08-07 by Ethan Peck

Wake up every morning
Actually the afternoon
Try to get to working
Curb my fearful attitude

Everytime I take a step
Reason pulls ambition in
Stops his progress in his tracks
Reminds him he's an idiot

Look at the numbers you lonely fool
It's economic suicide
Convinced that it can't really happen
I live my dreams out in my mind

Cause that's as good as this will get
Smiling in my living room
Pretending to be writing tunes
But it takes me nowhere in real life
Just puts me in a better mood
Only actions are pursuit

Pick up my guild
Whip out my notepad

Chords loop in my temple
Humming the verses
Paper meeting pencil
Writing emotions

Now I'm on top of the world
Doubts do not exist
Logic is only a DAW
Not my brain talking sense
Telling me I'm talentless
Telling me to get a job
Telling me enough of this
Maybe it's time I give it up

Either way, I wrote a song
Something real
Something you can hear,
And feel
But is this permanent?
Will this feeling last?
A couple of days pass
And those questions rush right back...

What if the world never hears my song?
What if I end up all alone?
But I'm an addict for expression
And a sucker for depression
So even if I'm my only audience
It's enough applause to keep me going
