What I choose to create often either challenges me, appeals to what I like or conveys to family and friends the importance they have in my life. But deep down as a creator, when I can compose something that speaks to each of you as listeners it fuels my hunger to continue trying to do the same. If you enjoy what I create, I genuinely welcome your feedback through any of the platforms I have listed above. [SAD INTRO] Sitting in the dark, letters spill across my screen, Pouring out my soul, I paint scenes throughout my life. In your castle you sit high, like judge on throne unseen, Scrutinizing every word, wielding mouse just like a knife. [POWER CHORUS] I shouldn't really care, Do I really need your love? (Do I need your love?) Nothing about this feels fair, Stats often feel like a shove. I click on PUBLIC say a prayer, Plead for blessings from above. Help ease this weight I bear, Ohh why do I really care? (Why do I care?) [Burdened VERSE 1] It's not as simple as you think it's not your likes I seek, Deep within my soul, I yearn for my words to resonate. I want to inspire or offer hope, to others struggling feeling weak When the world around them crumbles down, only to silently detonate. [POWER CHORUS] I shouldn't really care, Do I really need your love? (Do I need your love?) Nothing about this feels fair, Stats often feel like a shove. I click on PUBLIC say a prayer, Plead for blessings from above. Help ease this weight I bear, Ohh why do I really care? (Why do I care?) [Defiant OUTRO] Yet in the quiet of my heart, where truth and silence meet, I find my voice, with purpose clear, my solace bittersweet. So judge away, oh silent crowd, your words can't break my will, For in my art, my soul's pure art, I find my peace, I'm still. [POWER CHORUS] I shouldn't really care, Do I really need your love? (Do I need your love?) Nothing about this feels fair, Stats often feel like a shove. I click on PUBLIC say a prayer, Plead for blessings from above. Help ease this weight I bear, Ohh why do I really care? (Why do I care?) [END]
