lyrics

Verse 1

I'm anything but consistent
I've known it since my first set
That I can't keep this up
The one thing that I love

It's been a couple weeks since I've done a single thing
I wanted to get up but something stopped that from happening
(It's me!)
Nothing going on, nothing in my head
Losing my connections, losing all my cred
I don't wanna disappear but nothing new is going here
Someone help me out

Chorus

I need new content
Does anyone want it
Am I wasting my time
Running through the gauntlet
Of making new art
When I can't even start
With a single damn line
I'm out of motivation
I'm out of motivation

Verse 2

My chest and stomach are clenching
All the panic's gonna make me die
Is it that, or is every meal
That I've eaten in the last week been deep fried - oh, no, that's it
Leaving me so lethargic
Logically I've gotta eat more greens
But when's the last time you've been sad as fuck
And said "I want broccoli"
Self-destructing
Hell, I'm running
Someone help me out

Chorus

I need new content
Does anyone want it
Am I wasting my time
Running through the gauntlet
Of making new art
When I can't even start
With a single damn line
I'm out of motivation
I'm out of motivation

Where did the fire go?
Fuck all, how would I know
It comes and goes I hold on
While I can
I'm worried you'll forget
God damn, the internet
Relentless poison hive mind
Got me thinking that

Chorus (last time)

I need new content
Does anyone want it
Am I wasting my time
Running through the gauntlet
Of making new art
When I can't even start
With a single damn
I'm out of motivation
I'm out of motivation

I want my music to be my vocation
But being a creator has an implication
I'm not even big and still I feel the pressure
That I am lesser, give me my validation
Can't be like my heroes with this deviation
No one here knows me or my inner machinations
How do I expect myself to make
Anything without a break
Or some god damn motivation

It feels good to do something
It feels good to do anything at all
It feels good to do something
To look back and say
That that was something I made
That's a song that I wrote and I played
And I'll let you all know
When I'm motivated
