about

I wrote this song back in 2015, and played it with my old band, The World is Flat. The song stuck with me, and I'm going to eventually work toward a recording of it for a solo project.

lyrics

it's getting harder to be self-exalted
draw a line
divide humility and hate
this autumn weather gets the past restarted
a time machine with my ambitions and beliefs

pop a bottle of champagne
it's another happy new year
and i can feel my past's disapproval with her hands all over

take me back to the moment that i stopped pushing
when was it that i gave up?
when was it that i was told that i can't get better?
when was that i gave in?

tell me that i'm not going to heaven
i'd be lying if i didn't agree, but i won't let you keep me out
you will not lock the door on me

i want to be a better person
i'm not the lost cause you see
and i will start what i can't finish because you will not lock the door on me

and i will waste my precious time trying to earn what i've already got
i will never deserve this
