lyrics. WHAAAT

WHAT EVEN? 
Why can I not write lyrics? Why is it so impossible? I actually cannot.
I have music! I have ideas! No lyrics.
A lot of music that is simply fantastic, the lyrics are a defining factor, the melody. 
sure, I can create guitar melodies, but the key bit, the vocal melody, eludes me.
GOD. Frustrating. 
I’m not one of these teenage girls who seem to able to practically sweat out lovely(and not so lovely) emotions in word form, you see. These female.. things.. that can just magic up words. I would say that it’s not fair.. but actually. No, it’s not fair, at all.

Why can’t I be a troubled teenage girl, who vents her feelings via pen and paper, overflowing with life experiences, dreams and fantasies just waiting to be turned into a 3 note melody, over 4 chords at 90-115 bpm, singing on the upbeat of each bar, and a strange bridge that makes no sense.


I wish I could create magic on paper, not even proper magic, I would be happy with pre-first year Hogwarts shit, like, accidentally setting your rabbit on fire or something like that.

So as I sit here, with a guitar in my lap, keyboard to the side of me, and pencil behind my ear, I’m actually beginning to wonder if maybe, emotional outpourings in the form of words aren’t all that difficult?

Fuck me, who am I kidding, of course they are.
