i'm dead long before i know it (rough demo) (Patreon)

this will be the last song off the new album i been writing for about six months now. it's about the inevitability of my audience eventually moving on, and being grateful for them while they're here. so it's about every single one of you! hope ya like it. 

at the end it includes a bit of a reprise of what will be the first track "Nobody Will Notice When I'm Gone" which i uploaded here a couple of weeks ago. scroll down a bit and listen to that when you get a chance, it's pretty neat!

i think the final version will be recorded the same way (one take of playing acoustic guitar and singing at the same time) but it'll be a lot more tightened up after i get some much needed practice on it. 

ok bye!

LYRICS:

I'm dead long before I know it

Lungs breath, heart beat, that's not living

I'll see what is in front of me

Eyes close but I will no longer dream

As i sing I will feel nothing

I'll leave your mind

For the rest of your life

You'll leave me alone

With all these songs I wrote

Without an audience I will cease to exist

I'll leave your mind

For the rest of your life

You'll leave me alone

With all these songs I wrote

I love all of you, you are why i do what i do

When I was a kid all I wanted

Was for someone who cared to listen

What I'd give to tell that kid

You're worth it even if you don't make it big

As i sing I will feel nothing

I'll leave your mind

For the rest of your life

You'll leave me alone

With all these songs I wrote

Without an audience I will cease to exist

I'll leave your mind

For the rest of your life

You'll leave me alone

With all these songs I wrote

I love all of you, you are why i do what i do

I love all of you, you are all I ever wanted

Thank god for you, you are the reason

I'm not exactly what's expected of me

Why I can elevate, elevate everybody

The hivemind's not my identity

I'm so much more than opinions that it gave me

To all you out there who still choose to live in despair

Get the fuck off of twitter, keep close the people who matter

The back of the crowd won't be the last thing you see

Disconnect the leash and you will finally be free with me

And nobody will notice that we're gone

That's ok

Nobody will notice that we're gone

None of them were real, anyway

Nobody will notice that we're gone

Except the one who matter

Nobody will notice that we're gone

till next time [INSERT NAME HERE], i love u :)
