Dig the style, unique and well produced tune

This song has a great vibe and really pulls you in! It’s a well-executed and promising demo—definitely loving the pace!

I wrote a proof once
In the margin of an old book
It held
It sang in silence
I solved a riddle no one posed
But someone should have
And the page
Bent to my will

I was on a train
Between Oxford
And existential despair
Light flickered. Ink cracked
My coffee spilled
Still, logic marched in perfect rows
Shining
Afraid to be alone

But the margin
Too narrow
For voices like this

I drew your outline
In the corner, soft and hidden
Lines too gentle for names
Wrote a vow, never signed
A plan with no axis
And the paper
Tensed beneath my wanting

Under the station's hum
I footnoted everything I didn't say
Margins full of detours
Echoes of maybe
Each heartbeat struck
A chord I never dared to play

What if the page could break open?
What if the lines ran wild?
Not neat. Not safe. Not approved
But real
Bleeding past every edge

Because the margin
Was never enough
Not for this voice
Not for us

Tear it out
Let the ink run free
We'll write where no lines go

The Margin Was Too Narrow

Reminiscing

The song is about the pain of discovering all deceitful friends. Why do we tolerate the betrayal?

```Lyrics```

I woke up this morning,
with a big smile on my face
took a look at my phone
and i read what it say

((“i never wanna talk with you so please dont bother me,
i hate it when you call 
you know think you have it all, but i hate your stupid face”))

dont bother me
dont bother me

i laughed a little louder just to fill up in the space,
 my coffees on the burner, 
the sun is burnin’ on my face yeah that message hit hard, 
but I ain’t gonna chase 
if you want a reaction, 
sorry — not today

(Dont bother me!)
 I’m vibin’ on my own now
You threw your shade — but I’m glowin’ in the whole town
Delete that drama, no room in my soul now
You playin’ games, but I’m out — imma chalk it
 I’m vibin’ on my own now
You threw your shade — but I’m glowin’ in the whole town
Delete that drama, no room in my soul now
You playin’ games, but I’m out — imma chalk it

((“i never wanna talk with you so please dont bother me,
i hate it when you call 
you know think you have it all, but i hate your stupid face”)) "

Raise Your Hands

break me

Idk when I post, I do anything music. I also eat raw onion and garlic as a side for extra flavor. 
Not enough Seasoning? its okay, bite into a sweet onion layer.. not spicy enough? Bite into that Garlic clove or a pepper(garlic has the stronger flavor)
