This is my fifth play through where i'm starting to lay down lyrics that may stick. I know those words from another song i like but i cant place it. I like the sound of the guitar with this monotonous chord shape. ill tell ya, its hard on the pinky. This is still just into my phone as a single track. Ill get into the studio soon and see what happens, maybe even use a beat thing...probably not
