There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

#skirmish Have some lyrics I have been working on, so not officially an hour. Have a chord progression but need to record vocals. Hope to get something recorded and uploaded soon.

Lyrics

Keeping control Won’t show my soul Assuming I’m too flawed Guard my façade I’m a sham, can’t be who I am

Never enough Never enough Never enough Never enough

Empty and lost Ink blots In knots A cone without ice cream Sleep without dreams I’m broken, alone with no hope

Never enough Never enough

Can’t be who I am, never enough Can’t be who I am, never enough

A lot of your lines are amazing but "Empty and lost / Ink blots In knots" HURT exquisitely <3

@zinglizh 1w

Oh cool. Yeah I was thinking about those ink blot tests counselors give you to analyze what you see. Someone this confused and lost would just see tangles.

The honesty of this touched me deeply. It takes courage to speak out like this. Thank you for sharing.

So glad it moved you. I wrote it about someone I know who's really fake and insecure. There are moments I do feel like this, though. I guess we all do at some point.

"A cone without ice cream". Your metaphors and descriptions are very tactile and real. I look forward to hearing the music you bring to it.

@jwhanberry 1w

Good on you for writing this. I hope it was healing in some way. Take care.

@zinglizh 1w

I actually wrote it about someone I know who's really fake and insecure, trying to crawl into his head. Although there are moments I feel like this, especially in the Winter.

I can relate to the feeling of the singer, especially that 1st verse, but really the whole thing. Thanks for the vulnerability in your writing.

This has such a poignant vulnerable sad feel to the lyric and is a relatable feeling I suspect for many at one time or another in their lives. The concise lines are very effective. Love the metaphors in 2nd verse.
