it's all gotta start somewhere i know if you never start then you'll never go i'm trying to work up the motivation to get going but getting started is the hardest part but once i get going i'm good to keep on going i just had to push the acclerator when your self-esteem wears you down you've gotta get up off the ground you've got to put the effort in never give up hope i believe you can do great things it's not selfish to reach for your dreams don't give yourself up you are important to me it's all gotta start somewhere once again

you know what goes up must come down roller coaster your ego will get thrown around roller coaster your spirits will be lifted via chain only to tumble down when it rusts away ironically a real life roller coaster is more reliable than this metaphorical one yesterday you were feeling on top of the world feeling lucky enough to ride this ride and not hurl don't you worry, we all lose our lunch now & then recompose yourself, there's a corkscrew right up ahead the other day you were feeling oh so good now you're feeling worse than you ever thought you could bumpy ride now, this coaster's old & made out of wood doesn't help you didn't wear your restraints like you should way more fun to feel the airtime but you're jumping the gun when you are upside down scared for your life you'll be holding on life's not an amusement park roller coaster it doesn't care how sad you are roller coaster though you're confidence is recovering get ready for a wave of suffering when you pay the admission prince you'll get fu**ed over by life

we don't like to stay in one place we prefer to embrace our change we grow from milk to wine as we age i'd hate to meet myself from the past sorry to everyone who's passed through my life only to leave i don't blame you one bit for riding the waves right past my shore i hate to think how you see me when all you saw was who i was back then it's all my fault, i am to blame all my past choices for which i am ashamed i'd never wanna see me again if i were you, yeah if i were you i'd rather forget that old bygone friend if i were you, yeah if i were you i'd never give me another chance if i were you, yeah if i were you i'd tie me up and throw me into the ocean if i were you, yeah if i were you

far below the surf underneath the waves lies a cascade of underwater seashell graves through the ocean tide through the open sky don't disturb their memories as you pass on by in the cold blue dark light can barely reach sits the furthest point from where the ocean meets the beach as they lie in rest in eternal peace they know not of what had killed them, it was human beasts if you're visiting our blue orb now after we have dried up our own well remember well all the innocent who died for the sake of humans & their pride (a) starfish, large squid, killer-shark fins puffers, dolphins, whales held captive seahorse, clown fish, eels & rays, electric tuna, small shrimp, far away penguins (b) endless abundance of life beneath the surface better off without us killing with a furnace arrogance & ego to drag the whole world with us we're killing them & ourselves the earth should not forgive us are you proud of what we have created here?

write in the key of c, bpm 120, 4/4 time for me is that way too easy? if i write so plainly can't pretend that i know music theory is it alright if i just use the same dang chords over & over again? & i wonder would it be better if i didn't care? wonder why i worry so much that i have to adhere? blunder, wouldn't it be better just to be myself? blunder, already tried that and came out insecure as hell i like songs that sound cutesy & cheesy & corny & everything but when i write like that a voice screams it's not everyone's cup of tea if i write cooler songs will people listen to them more willingly? i think i'd prefer if my imperfect stabs at art could exist free from its human counterpart your art comes from a human heart your art comes from a human soul even if you stand apart your art comes from human ego art comes from the human heart art comes from the human soul even if you let it stand on its own art comes from human ego take it all away again my fragile confidence take it all away again my insecurities throw it in the ocean into the deepest sea though life is hard & you wanna do your best keep your heart inside your chest though you'll certainly make mistakes & your self-esteem may fade that's the part of you that makes you human though you can't change the past you can look to the future each & every new day is a brand new opportunity never give it up, keep it moving forward though it may be hard sometimes never give it up, keep it moving forward you have gotta find your light never give it up, keep it moving forward make the most of your life never give it up, keep it moving forward we don't really have much time
