Write by 36?
Write is about really wanting to write a song when it isn’t the right time. As an artist I have been able to find a lot of catharsis and validation in writing music and sometimes I have this weird problem where I am really desiring the feeling of writing music but I just don’t have any inspiration to draw from. For me, I can never decide when the ideas for a song might come, and it can be frustrating if I am in the mood for making music but don’t have the ideas to work off of. This song is about that experience.

Lyrics
I wanted to write a song
But I can’t find the words
You know it’s difficult to articulate the voices I heard
To open up to feeling, when you’re trying to be appealing
You know it’s difficult when dealing with the outside world.
And your own self worth
I wanted to take these thoughts
And spit them out
You know it’s difficult to master what it’s all about
To be real with what your thinking
And concentrate on being
Something that you feel’s worth sharing with the outside world
When your own self worth just gives you hurt
And I could be a monster
Or I could live forever
If I could just remember
What I came here for
I could see a keyhole
If I could just be real
Because I don’t have the answers but I can hold the door
Ohh
I wanted to write a song
But I can’t make one up
You know it’s difficult to concentrate with an empty cup
When lost in expectation it can be a nice vacation
But you’re only duplication till you find yourself.
ohh
