Nothing is Easy

from 2018 (i think?), I remember being sick but recording it was time sensitive so f for my voice

Hey there Dad, just checking in
in case you’re wondering how my life has been.
It’s not too different in this world,
except for now Ive got a little girl.
Sometimes I think of how it’d be -
if you were here you’d love her just like me
a hug, a kiss 
And all that’s other grandpa stuff you’ll miss

But I won’t let you go
Even if you’re gone

You know, this world is like a game
That has no rules, and most everyone’s the same
But those you knew, they all would say 
That you were different in each and every way
Some people get entire lives
But you were gone before age 55
Your time went fast
But there is still one thing that will last

And I won’t let you go
Even if you’ve gone away
I won’t let you go
Even if you’re gone

There is no logic, nor a plan
That god would choose to take such a good man
In my heart you’ll stay alive
and in that regard you will never die.
My memories last, wont fade away
and by extension you will stay with me
and when i fall
Into the earth I’ll keep them all
and if I see you when I go
I’ll tell you all of this but you know, I think you know

That I wont let you go, 
even if you’ve gone away
I won’t let you go, 
even if you’re gone

Even If You’re Gone

probably going to do more stuff like this as it was very fun to put together, this was made on a phone app which is pretty crazy to think those capabilities were literally in my pocket without realizing it.
