about

Written 6/21/17 for anyone feeling lost, or alone, or like a human.
I admit, this is the only time I've sang and played this song all the way through. This is the scratch demo. I wasn't sure what I would do in the middle bit, even. I think it works, anyway!

lyrics

This is why you can never fail
you are here because of your greater self.
You sent yourself here from behind the veil.
This is why you can never fail.
This is why you shouldn't be afraid.
This is why you should always play.
You may not remember choosing this
a life filled with hurt and regret
Asking what you're doing here
so full of lusts and fears
dreams abandoned, ills uncured
because our cells are sensitive
to sudden changes and time is quick
and we are living faster yet
This games' toys are so advanced
but you are not abandoned yet
This games' toys are so advanced
but you are not abandoned yet
you are not abandoned yet
everything will always change
everything will stay the same

This is why you can never fail you are here because of your greater self.
You sent yourself here from behind the veil. This is why you can never fail. This is why you shouldn't be afraid. This is why you should always play.
