Narrow Boxes (cool person friend pt 2)

This is kind of a cheat week, because I actually recorded this variation a while ago. But, I’m feeling like rubbish and haven’t been able to record anything this week. I got in a big fight with a friend and I don’t see a resolution likely (different friend from last weeks song, believe or not, I guess I just suck at friendships or sth). This song wasn’t about them and the lyrics don't apply to our fight really, but the general frustration is there: they wanted me to be something I couldn’t be, and weren’t able to listen to me.
the vocals are ad lib and done in one take. They’re based on growing up as kind of the weird kid who couldn’t fit in even if I tried, and how sometimes I’d make friends with people who would get frustrated at me for not fitting in.
Edit: Man, this is so cringey. I kind of sound like that millenial woman who was so pissed at gen z that she made a whole song about skinny jeans. Ah, well- I accept the cringe. If we were all afraid of coming off like a dumbass, then we wouldn't make half of the good stuff we do make.
