Last Friday my wife shared with me a rather inspiring quote. The gist of it was essentially "It's the journey, not the destination". Coupled with "Let the motivation of any action be the thing that makes you smile".

So on Saturday I create this. I started with nothing, and just let whatever idea made me smile be the guiding force.

It really feels like for the first time, I've created something completely free of any "stifling of inspiration" caused by anxiety or preconceived expectations.

------------
V1-A
------------

can someone tell me why im going blind
or figure out the words that are spoken to me

can someone tell me why I no longer care
about all the things broadcast on air

can someone tell me why its hard to move
or get through the list of things to

can someone tell me what I gotta do to get momentum

------------
V1-B
------------

loosing track of things that need a meter
i can feel my mind begin to teeter

the voice in my head endless repeater
observations thoughts ideas by the litre

why cant i be a project completer
cant gain an inch against a cheater

another thought the type is infiltrator
just leave me alone

------------
V2-A
------------
seconds slip by, minutes, hours later
why can't I find a regulator
all I want to be is my own creator
beat a universal dictator

Now I can feel that I got the fever
everything telling me to take a breather
already mister under achiever
I got no cards left to play

------------
V2-B
------------
now i know that im never gonna beat 'er
wasting my time ultimate deceiver

fighting a war i cant win
no reserves as we go into over time

I can feel myself begin to question
but my ego throws up an objection

we are right we are true its not me it cant be
im not the one thats wrong

-----
CHORUS
-----
My aching body
My aching soul

time grinding us down
time makes us so

my ageing body
my ageing soul

rust from our blood stains
dust from our bones
