about

In the wake of a transforming cyber-addicted-culture, I wrote this song about myself to teach others a lesson about how destructive and limiting perfectionism can be. You have to fail to learn and to grow.

lyrics

I've been wasting my time
I've been staring at my phone
You might say I'm addicted
Constantly staring and comparing
I'm still blaming myself
I just need some time...to grow


Your fear of failure is killing you
That's why you're pacing around the room
You gotta face those mountains and make them move
Get rid of Velcro and learn to tie your shoes

One single failure doesn't mean you're down and out
Getting up again is all that really counts
I know it can be hard to control your brain
You see me carry mine like a ball and chain
I see you flying toward distractions like a moth to a flame

What do you do when the world's become a stage?
Fake glitz and glam for that internet fame
I’m seeing people derive their worth from looks
I'd much rather see their fucking heads in books
I think I'd rather be judged for what I do and say


And when my pyre is burning high.
Hope you remember that twinkle in my eye
These simple chords for an all too familiar song
Serve to remind me that my road is long
But I won’t give up ‘cause I know I’m strong


Your fear of failing is leaving you
No more pacing around your room
I know you'll face those mountains and make them move
Get rid of Velcro and learn to tie your shoes
