about

This song is for the stifled.
Created for the inspyr project.

lyrics

I tried my whole life to be you
I bled but in different colors
I tried to find words to tell you
I'm not the same as the others
I tried my whole life to be you
I bled but in different colors
I tried to find words to tell you
I'm not the same as the others
(Everything has been desaturated)
I wrote the songs that you wanted
I burned the ones that I needed
(I'm starting to see in color again)
They told me to talk about it
When I was hurt I retreated

We can talk about this over the music, or we could not
I know I wasn't the best child for you
I was a shitty person too
But when I'm done turning into this work of art
I hope you still appreciate me

I tried my whole life to be you
Being a clone isn't special
I kept your spirit’s appearance
My body turned into rubble
I built the clone that you wanted
Our playdates empty and quiet
Night walks becoming our outlet
Floodwaters turning to blankets
(I made you something, I hope you like it)
I left the clone that you asked for
On gravel roads in the summer
(If you still love me, I think you'll love it)
It only surfaced on Sundays
Nothing they said made it better

We can talk about this over the music, or we could not
I know I wasn't the best child for you
I was a shitty person too
But when I'm done turning into this work of art
I hope you still appreciate me

Appreciate me

I will bless and brush this barren canvas with hope and hues that make a difference
Whatever other people expect me to be is going to have to be shelved for a minute - no - a lifetime
This life is mine and from now on I will live it to make BOTH you and I proud
That colorless clone sank into the bottom of a gray paint can and that is where we’ll bury him

I tried my whole life to be you
Being a clone isn't special
