Punchin' Up, Punchin' Down
Liner Notes
#avant-pop #fullproduction #indie
I don't have trouble sleeping anymore but, I used to. I'd go to school on zero sleep.. then I'd sleep for like 15 hrs. Horrible cycle to be in.

Lyrics
i take a beating in my chest that won't allow me to rest and the tingle up my spine that rewires my dying mind
it does it's very best making me start to sweat i've got too much to do biting off more than i can chew
i'm punching up flat on my back i think i screwed it up feeling like i'm starting to crack still swimming upstream wipe my vision clean but there's no way that i can sink into the sleeping sand
i gotta feeling that i'm spent i break the wall with my head and i can’t make a dent squeezing my mind until i'm dead
give me a break for my own sake
it's punching down as thoughts crack my crown gotta protect my heart from ripping apart
punching up punching down spin my head around
waking up laying down i can't sleep with all these sounds

Comments
I record a really rough vocal track then sing to that.. when I do a better job I use that better version as the track I sing to.. until I work it out. Over and over 😂 (until I'm sick of it)
Strong punchy track in a very late 80's/early 90's indie fashion juxtaposing sad angry lyrics with an upbeat melodic feel.
Lots of punching! Thank for checkin it out! I like those juxtapositions...
Really like this sound, both fresh chord progression and orchestration. Also enjoy your vocal on this, you vary your phrasing in such an interesting, confident way. Esp. love "sink into the sleeping sand."
