Wrote and recorded this (with lots of help) about a year ago. While the recording process was tons of fun, I can't listen to this without cringing. Maybe it's my voice. Either way, some crazy people have expressed interest in it so I figured I'd put it online so I can just say "check my soundcloud" and end the conversation sooner than later.
All I actually did was write the melodies and lyrics and sing the vocals. The good parts were done by my father Ted, who did the piano, and our friend Ben, who did the bass and drums.
We are on Twitter, just so you know.
Me: @Clay_BOF
Ted: @tedtroxell
Ben: @BenjamenEvers
The recording and mixing is done by my friend Jared, who does not have a Twitter. Boo Jared.

Lyrics:
You feel like you have no soul - you're cold inside.
But on the outside your heat glows - you're idolized
You can't give it up, so don't tell them how you feel.
Your emptiness is something best left concealed.

You're hollow inside, but they don't know.
Smile empty shell, put on a show.
Look at them shout your name, look at them go.
Smile empty shell, they'll never know.

I know how hard you've tried to get what you want.
Are you now satisfied with what you've got?
The praise they give your image fills the air...
But outside of this "image" no one cares.

You're hollow inside, but they don't know.
Smile empty shell, put on a show.
Look at them shout your name, look at them go.
Smile empty shell, they'll never know.

Is all this attention
Not what you expected?
This is what you asked for isn't it?
Did nobody mention
Self-centered intentions
Never turn out quite the way you want them.

You're hollow inside, but they don't know.
Smile empty shell, put on a show.
Look at them shout your name, look at them go.
Smile empty shell, they'll never know.
Smile!
You have everything you asked for!
Smile!
This is exactly what you asked for!
Smile!
Smile!
Smile empty shell, they'll never know.
