Here we are with the second demo! Badda boo! This one's about not bein' able to get a date cuz yer shit beta, but you know you got alpha in there somewhere, if you could just put it to practice. 
Here's the lyrics: 

"You kinda are just what you do, and i've been nobody for so long,
Yer kinda cute you and your shoes, but I got nothin' to offer you now...

I'm a Sinatra in my head, the kind I think you'd wanna do now, 
but that's the thing it's in my head, and I don't have any paper to prove it...

I'm not what you want now,
You're ready to find out,
Who I am is in my clouds,
But i'm finding my way down...

Romanticized with bein' blue, so much so I've got nothin' to do now,
Does what I am look cool to you, cuz I got more'a that up my sleeve now, but that's the thing its in my sleeve, and you're too bored to wanna find out...

I'm not what you want now,
And you're ready to find out,
who I am is in my clouds, 
but i'm findin' my way down,
I'm not what you need now,
and you're lookin' around,
I'm all up in my head now, 
cuz you'll never find out that...

I'm on my way down, I'm on my way,
I'm on my way down, I'm on my way..."
