[Intro] [Spoken | Hesitant] Why don’t I share it? I don’t think I can… I can’t explain it. It’s terrifying man… [Verse 1] [vocal: hopeful] I took my time to artistically capture, and tell the beauty of a story This creation stands in the highest stature, a work of truth and glory Feel the pride, then my mind is a juncture, and that feeling turns to worry That crawling voice will manufacture, how the world will be my jury This is an endless internal torture, makes me want to hide and scurry Then my mettle starts to rupture, and I become my own locked doorway [Chorus] [vocal: desperate] Is it good enough? (It’s the start of the doubt…) You think they’ll like this stuff? (The next step on this route…) Did you see the edge is so rough? (Is that what I’m worried about?) The critique will be brutal and tough! (Every reaction will carry clout!) Don’t try to bluff, it’s never good enough! (And down comes crashing my final redoubt…) Never Enough (My brain will shout.) [Verse 2] [vocal: surprised] I finally share it, and I’m met with praise, my expectations a cold departure What I’ve done appears to amaze, they compliment and nurture Now I just wait for the malaise, the first wicked malicious vulture This emotional whiplash is a maze, I can’t find a way to suture I’m going to hit the top, only to fall in a blaze, as I see a crumbling future Through all the kindness, this feeling stays, my own sabotaged enrapture [Chorus] [vocal: desperate] Is it good enough? (It’s the start of the doubt…) You think they’ll like this stuff? (The next step on this route…) Did you see the edge is so rough? (Is that what I’m worried about?) The critique will be brutal and tough! (Every reaction will carry clout!) Don’t try to bluff, it’s never good enough! (And down comes crashing my final redoubt…) Never Enough (My brain will shout.) [Bridge] [vocal: paranoid] I know that in my thousand tries, I have made a masterpiece with depth But my brain will always place the guise, that makes me far less deft It tells me others will try and devise, a way to commit the perfect theft To relieve me of my hard-earned prize, and leave me again bereft [Pre-Chorus] [vocal: spiraling] Rejection is an ugly beast, the thought of it will start the feast, you can never be released, the anxiety will only be increased, it’s a steam engine that won’t be ceased, From this cycle will I be released? [Final Chorus] [vocal: powerful] Is it good enough? (I have to end this doubt!) You think they’ll like this stuff? (I need to get off this route.) Did you see the edge is so rough? (That's not what I’m worried about!) The critique will be brutal and tough! (Face it with my own clout!) Don’t try to bluff, it’s never good enough! (I have to reinforce my final redoubt.) It has to be Enough (I will stand and shout!) [Outro: Spoken] [vocal: Resigned] I wish it was as easy as just doing it
