Liner Notes

I started feeling down on myself. This came out of it over the next couple of days. I stumble in one place but I'm tired. Might re-record later. Don't know yet.

Lyrics

(Capo 2)
G Em Em7 Am7 D

V1
G
Impostor syndrome’s here again
Em Em7
Needling me to death
Am7
Telling me the time I’ve spent
D
Just isn’t worth the breath
G
I don’t want to be boring
Em Em7
Ending every phrase on G
Am7
I don’t want to be so cliché
D
Because everyone will be

PRE CHORUS 1
Am7 D
Why bother with his music?
G Em Em7
There’s nothing new to hear
Am7 D
The same five chords, the same old words
G Em Em7
So obviously clear
Am7 D
He’s got nothing new to show us
G Em Em7
He just writes the same old song
Am7 D
Don’t bother with it; just move along
V2
Just a fake, just a loser
It’s all been done before
Don’t waste our time with nonsense
We’re showing you the door
Sounds we’ve heard a thousand times
Patterns tried and true
Chord progressions all the same
Just get a freaking clue

PRE CHORUS 1

CHORUS
Am7
Chill out
D
Don’t freak out
Em Em7
You have something to say
Am7
It’s your choice
D
It’s your voice
Em Em7
The music finds a way
Am7
Give your all
D
Let it fall
Em Em7
Down on the world like rain
Am7
It’s your song
D G
It’s your melody again

V3
Sure, it’s been done before
But never done by me
And maybe that’s the point, I guess
I have to let them see
My voice, my muse, my melodies
Even though they sound the same
Every song has its own story
Every song has its own name

PRE CHORUS 2
I just have to remember
I have to care for me
For everything that’s still inside
That still has yet to be
Impostor syndrome, go away
You are not welcome here
I’m taking back my music
And I’m throwing out my fear

CHORUS x2

G Em Em7 Am7 D G
