Lyrics

Prompt: Use your last 3 words from "Wordle"...
Wild thing about this prompt is that I don't really play phone games... I'd never played Wordle before. Let alone had a history of 3 words to pull from... so I played it for the first time. I read the rules... pretty simple... and then started the game. 5 empty boxes... The world was my oyster... but all of a sudden I was convinced that there weren't ANY five-letter words in the English language because I was drawing an anxiety-driven blank. If I was a chameleon, I would've been strobing my colours 'cuz my brain was TILTing (pinball term, anybody?)... I did end up figuring it out... but it was kind of a boring word so I told my wife this story and she told me that I should write a song about how Five-Letter words don't exist... but make the majority of the song Five-letter words... so... that's exactly what I did! Here's "FIVES":

THERE AREN’T any WORDS to SPELL in FIVES

TIMID and ANGRY, i TRIED & TRIED

STUDY & LOGIC WOULD LIMIT my PRIDE

CAUSE THERE AREN’T any WORDS to SPELL in FIVES

PANIC & WORRY: NEVER my FRIEND

GUILT is a HABIT so SHAME on THESE TRENDS

CANON in STORY BOOKS WORDS on the PAGES

i TRIED to make SENSE as my BRAIN SPASM RAGES

THERE AREN’T any WORDS to SPELL in FIVES

TIMID and ANGRY, i TRIED & TRIED

STUDY & LOGIC WOULD LIMIT my PRIDE

CAUSE THERE AREN’T any WORDS to SPELL in FIVES

i WASN’T SETUP for PHONE KINDS of GAMES

the FATAL FLAWS of WRONG or RIGHT all START to

FORCE THEIR CLAIMS

THERE AREN’T any WORDS to SPELL in FIVES

TIMID and ANGRY, i TRIED & TRIED

STUDY & LOGIC WOULD LIMIT my PRIDE

CAUSE THERE AREN’T any WORDS to SPELL in FIVES

I really enjoyed listening to this, and I relate to the "brain-blank" thing.

Also: "Guilt is a habit" - wow, I was no expecting such a truth bomb.
