Here's a song about me being frustrated to all hell about my music not taking off. 

[Verse 1]
I’ve bled on strings and screamed through chords
Chased a voice I thought was mine
Watched the crowds drift toward the noise
While I stayed stuck in silent time

[Pre-Chorus]
The echoes wear my name, but never call me back
I fade into a million mirrors, all cracked

[Chorus]
When everyone else is me
When every dream’s been sung and signed
When the world gives wings for free
But never lets me climb
How long do I burn before I rise?
When will it be my turn to fly?

[Verse 2]
Two decades buried in these lines
Each one a scar I tried to hide
They chase the trends, I chase the sky
But gravity won’t say goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
Is there a shot for the quiet to begin?
Or am I just a name that’s worn too thin?

[Chorus]
When everyone else is me
When every sound feels stolen blind
When the gates are wide, but not for me
When the winds betray the climb
How long do I scream before I shine?
When will it be my turn to fly?

[Bridge]
I’m not bitter, I’m just breaking
Carving hope from what I’ve wasted
Still I breathe, still I create
But how much more can my soul take?
No spotlight ever found my face
No voice to echo back my grace
But still I sing, still I stay
Still I pray for just one day

[Breakdown]
Sick of begging for a chance to breathe
Sick of standing last while the frauds succeed
I watched them mimic everything I am
Then spit me out like I’m a scam
I am the fire, I am the fight
I won't die nameless tonight
Say my name or let me die!
Make me rise… or let me try

[Chorus]
When everyone else is me
And the sky forgets my name
Do I sink or dare believe
That my song could still remain?
I’ve waited years to touch the sky
So tell me…
When will it be my turn to fly?

[Outro]
I still record...
Though no one’s listening
Maybe I was never meant
To fly

Among the wreckage, the soul begins to whisper again. No peace, no redemption – just awareness of what’s been lost, and who was responsible.
