Care About Me- Original Song

Details

Description

Hey all- I decided to give songwriting a try, and this is what came out of it. I don’t think it’s so bad for a first attempt. We’ll see if there are any further attempts.

All criticism welcome. I hope this resonates at least a little bit with someone. Have a blessed day.

Lyrics:

Before I’m ready, the day begins.
And my first task is recount my sins.
What is this new burden I bear?
And why do I feel no one would care?

Just move. Just stay. Do just what I say.
Keep all this good and bad tucked away.
Don’t feel hope. Don’t feel hate. Don’t feel time.
Don’t you know feeling is a crime?

I forgot how to care about me.
Can’t remember who I used to be.
My hearts perched on scenes and falsities
So I won’t drown in my own self-pity.
I don’t need a doc or analysis.
It’s clear my soul’s on dialysis.

My cell door’s open, I’m free to go.
I want to reap, so I try to sow.
But the void I built so hastily
Invasively stole my agency.

So I turn on the box just to drool.
Who knew that living could feel this cruel?
They laugh, so do I. Weep when they cry.
I’m an emotional parasite.

I forgot how to care about me.
Can’t remember who I used to be.
My hearts perched on scenes and falsities
So I won’t drown in my own self-pity.
I don’t need a doc or analysis.
It’s clear my soul’s on dialysis.

I need more. I need me.
Need this void not to be.
Someone help, help me see.
Help me flee, set me free. Take a knee and believe. Count to three, please just breathe.
God make me…

Animated and not just alive.
I do what I must to survive.

I forgot how to care about me.
Can’t remember who I used to be.
My hearts perched on scenes and falsities
So I won’t drown in my own self-pity.
I don’t need a doc or analysis.
It’s clear my soul’s on dialysis.
