about

A song I wrote 10+ years ago that has finally come to fruition. You'll catch hints of bitterness in the melodic drive of this tune. Subtle stabs at the music industry as a 17 year old writes how some of his largest fears are that his biggest dream may never come true with a crumbling industry being responsible for his success. It was only a matter of time before the right set of ears found out what he was singing about.

lyrics

look into their eyes,
can’t you see the money signs?
whatever happened to the days when everybody had a fair chance?
what’s a fair chance?
i’ll never know, ‘cause oh, at birth, i died.
in 1985.

let’s make this fair again,
give us what we deserve and we will keep you happy with,
words from inside.
the thoughts i think, the nights i dream about what it’d be like…

i’ve lived the experience.
shouldn’t i be the one to claim the dream has been,
it’s mine all mine.
you thrive off of what i write.
how is this right? this can’t be right.

let’s make this fair again,
give us what we deserve and we will keep you happy with,
words from inside.
the thoughts i think, the nights i dream about what it’d be like…

oh, oh you’re right,
it’s just a matter of time,
’til the right set of ears will find:

out what i’m singing about,
that i’ve been hangin’ around,
only caring about myself.
now i’ve been fallen down,
and i’ve been figurin’ out
just what this live has been all about

let’s make this fair again,
give us what we deserve and we will keep you happy with,
words from inside.
the thoughts i think, the nights i dream about what it’d be like…
