I had a bit of "writer's block" recently.
Spent far too long worrying about it.
Decided I needed to write a song about it.

This is as much about the production as the writing.
(the "block" was, as well...exploring...)
This is best heard using headphones or ear buds...


WASTED

gotta a white board list of a hundred things
half of them there since before last spring
but today slipped by undetected
any motivation, long defected.
   
   the days i've wasted, i've wasted, wasted
   can't get 'em back...
   the days i've wasted, i've wasted, wasted

sometimes i dread even raising my head
getting outta bed, i just lay there instead
thoughts locked, can't clear the block
one eye on the clock tick tock tick tock
   
   the days i've wasted, i've wasted, wasted
   can't get 'em back...
   the days i've wasted, i've wasted, wasted
