GratifyingPitchKnight - Harder to be original (Skyres Remix)

[Verse 1] You don’t yell at a singer For not bowing on a cello You don’t grill a front-line dreamer For the chords they had to borrow So why side-eye a page-poet Who leans on a silicon brain Just to frame what they’re feeling Give a shape Give a name to the pain [Pre-Chorus] We all start somewhere crooked Learning how to stand Some with calloused fingers Some with borrowed hands [Chorus] We all have a starting place Yeah The map is individual If the song cuts deep Let it be Let it live That’s critical If the song is good Just be quiet and save face Limited words Same notes Same space Makes it harder to be original (harder to be original) [Verse 2] You don’t curse at a dancer Reading steps off a worn-out page So why mock a shy writer For inviting a circuit onstage If their feelings are honest Their struggling pen feels true If it doesn’t take from others Does it matter how it’s given to you? [Chorus] We all have a starting place Yeah The map is individual If the song cuts deep Let it be Let it live That’s critical If the song is good Just be quiet and save face Limited words Same notes Same space Makes it harder to be original (yeah, harder to be original)
