The wanderer is my first original song that I really really like. Also, because much like the lyrics, I was sitting on the toilet when I wrote it.  Yes, I know that I shouldn't be using MIDI drums, but I didn't have time to actually track drums.

I have a music video up for this as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDQYi75V1DQ

LYRICS
Verse 
Sitting on the toilet 
Ravishing the quiet throne 

Wondering if poets 
Love to spend their time alone 

I've been staring at the ceiling 
Wishing I could understand 

The reason why you shut me out of your life 

Chorus
And I ask
Cause I wonder 
Have you been wandering all your life 
And I pray 
That you ponder 
My plea to let me into your life 
I know it's a lot to take into 
Your careful calculative mind 
But I wonder if you'll open up the door 
Don't wander on your own 

Verse 
Fitting on the picture 
Frame your family adores 

Conjuring a portrait 
Hoping that they will condone 

I've been staring at the painting 
Wishing I could understand 

The reason why you chose to live lie 

Clipping at the limit 
Begging God let me endure 

Try to see the best 
unless your fortune tells you no 

Have you held it Long enough 
Wishing you could tell us all 

The reason (reason) (reason)

Chorus
And I ask
Cause I wonder 
Have you been wandering all your life 
And I pray 
That you ponder 
My plea to let me into your life 
I know it's a lot to take into 
Your careful calculative mind 
But I wonder if you'll open up the door 
Don't wander on your own X5

The Wanderer (light rock version)

I approached this song very differently compared to my other songs. I decided to just write what I felt and figure out the song afterwards. I usually make the song followed by the lyrics.This is something new
and I had fun making it.

Lyrics
VERSE
I’ve been glued to my handphone
Looking at the multitude 
of things that show ingratitude 

quakes of digital stones
if you could see the magnitude
the pain would strike you where you stood 

PRECHORUS
But I 
Wake up empty inside 
And 
Into the dark I will slide 

CHORUS
I'm locked in a cage called loneliness 
Concoct an excuse for emptiness 
I've blocked all the weight of weariness 
To kill what I thought was happiness 
But now I am lost 
Nowhere to go 
So I'll keep moving on 

VERSE 2
I have always been Alone 
Even in my solitude 
It feels like I am in the nude 

Mask my doubts with cheap cologne
Pardon my inaptitude 
To give Verisimilitude

Lose myself in my headphones 
My mind is losing altitude 
Forgive me if It just sounds crude 

Pour out all the acetone 
Liquefy the interlude 
Cause I can't wait to be renewed 

PRECHORUS
But I 
Wake up empty inside 
And 
Into the dark I will slide 

CHORUS
I'm locked in a cage called loneliness 
Concoct an excuse for emptiness 
I've blocked all the weight of weariness 
To kill what I thought was happiness 
But now I am lost 
Nowhere to go 
So I'll keep moving on 

I’m trapped in a box and I’m a mess
don’t have to be smart for that assess
my mind is a blank but I digress
I’m locked in a caged called loneliness 
and now I am lost 
in continuo 
will I keep moving on 


PRECHORUS
Wake up empty inside 

Into the dark I will slide
