I wrote this in April. I originally started this trying to make dance punk, 'cause I wanted to make a more upbeat song, and it still kinda is, but it very clearly transitioned into more of a digital hardcore song, and I'm not sure how to feel about it. I still like it but eh.
Interestingly, this is the first song of mine where in the demo I actually did actual screaming, 'cause for once I could at the time and it just kinda happened. I'm a mad boi.
lyrics
Some days I try to find my way,
I can't make it, I can't help it.
I just don't know what I should say,
How does anyone make it through this?
I just want some closure.
I just don't understand.
Am I any closer?
How am I still not a man?
And when will it matter
How I feel about it?
No consideration,
I won't cry about it.
I just want some closure.
I just don't understand.
Am I any closer?
I will never be a man.
I just want some closure.
How don't you understand?
I'll lose my composure.
Do I need a helping hand?
I'm just so fed up I
Don't know what I should do
I'm completely lost but
I'm still thankful for you
But it doesn't matter
At least it feels that way
I guess it just isn't working
I feel like I never have a say
Today
Am I okay?
I don't know what to say.
It's just another day
What will happen today?
There it goes again
I'm wonderin
If it's worth livin
And I don't know
If I should show
It doesn't seem like it's working
My head's throbbing
And I don't know why
I wanna die
Oh god, oh why?
I swear I tried
It's just so hard
And I can't tell a lie
It's fine
I just want some closure.
How don't you understand?
I'll lose my composure.
Do I need a helping hand?
Every day I'm closer
To the promise land
But I will get better
Maybe soon I'll understand
