about

this one's about writing a song and getting discouraged

lyrics

i'm writing on the bench in my backyard.
i'm throwing my own wrench to make things hard.
i guess that's how it goes in my backyard.

i'm mulling over words i never wrote.
distracted by distortions in my throat,
i can't remember how it all went.
i only know that it was different.

my memory fails me miserably,
upon the daily, like whatever i read,
goes in through my eyes,
exits out through my nose,
and i'll never find out what it is that is knows,
and i'm sorry for when,
i forget to disclose, that

i'm writing on the bench in my backyard.
i'm trying to recall but it gets hard.
i guess that how it goes in my backyard.
i'm guessing the wrong words and faking it.
i'm glad i got this far but i should quit.
i guess that's how it goes in my backyard.
