[Verse 1]

Trails of scales sliming over like snails I’m
waiting for bail, another night chasing tails

Dwelling on unreplied emails, the smell of male ego
Because he goes off with another
Or she goes, into some upper, tier

Fearing inadequacy, the whens, the whos,
the what could be
Tunnelling up, what I see, Ignoring accolades piling
Not taking the time for smiling

I’m doing well, as far as I can tell
Compiling new tasks and personnel
It doesn’t really scratch the itch, Probably
Pull a Djokovic, In time
Already miming it in, frustration
Staying agitated on vacation

[Verse 2]

I dropped three EPs in three years, but critical
My spirit animal, Archimedes, You know
The owl that interferes, I’m geared up
For more constantly
So quick to be despondent and then unresponsive
I can be the fondest fan then so defensive
Lash out in offensive
I’m over elaborating

[Bridge]

Looking for validation for validation’s sake,
Keeping pushing the line to see what it makes
It’s been interesting so far,
making imagery from sounds, sonar
Knowledge and growth are my goalposts
Not too concerned about breaking both coasts
Living the cliche of making art
But breaking even’s a good start
And from there, who knows?
Me, I’m five steps ahead
But fail in the now, somehow

[Verse 3]

Tales of sales, scaling down my fails
I’m biting my nails, too hung up on the details

How, so and so just had a hit
I missed again n’ It doesn’t sit
Well and I’ll dwell
whilst I pretend
it didn’t get to me,
And the months I’d spend
In self-righteous self-pity
Time to disband the guilt Committee
In my mind
