Description:
Got a new mic today and it inspired me to write a new song. Nothing special. Kind of a demo, I guess.

Lyrics:
the simple sound of a red heart beating
the silent smell of an afternoon
the evolution of a bleak November
the inquisition of another June.

i thought the television was an option
i thought the weather man was peddling news
turns out that neither are for pure instruction
sometimes a mirror gets the best of you.

I saw you imitating my impressions
i hid the evidence inside my shoes
the repetition of one burning question...
can you consume what is consuming you?

i splatter windex on my own reflection
and try to wipe away the social cues
each of these freckles is for you inspection
sometimes the mirror gets the best of you.

I rapped my way through the words before I played. Great experience.
THanks!

I love your lyrics.

You're right, this is still quite raw, like a demo. But nice sound, great imagery.

So, off to check out some of your other stuff.

Cheers.
