Original Song & Video: Painful Truth

Lyrics:
It’s the first of the month
Need to find a new leaf to turn over fast
Before they’re all gone
And the self-sabotaging leaf blower of my past
Blows all the green and luscious leaves
In the gutter
And all the possibilities go undiscovered

“Excuse me mam, was there a better answer I forgot to mention?”
“5 year plan? Wait before you go could you rephrase the question?”
There’s so much that I don’t know
I’m more lost than summer snow

Another help wanted
Head shaking no
Confidence spinning like a cinnamon roll
They said I’m inadequate
For a job I’d want to quit
Rents going up, I’m feeling low
Tempted to give up too quick
Nothing seems to stick
I made a vision board with expired glue
Since I got out of college
Been forced to acknowledge
The world is made of painful truth

It’s the last of the month
30 days go by too fast
Did I get enough done?
No, but it’s okay, I’ll kick tomorrow morning in its’ unproductive ass
I’ll Google how to write an exceptional to-do list
Does Office Max sell journals that could help me do this?
“Excuse me sir, is there an opening at the new location?”
“Should I go there?” Trying not to show my desperation
There’s so much that I don’t know
I fall off life’s stepping stones

(Chorus)

No one ever told me how to grieve
Broken dreams properly, or maybe
I just wasn’t listening
To busy wishful thinking
That they’d all come true
I’d never have to face

(Chorus)
