about

This is one of the first self-mixed, produced, and mastered songs I finished in years. Many other releases were made with other musicians, studios, and production. Feels good to just release something from my own make-shift-studio. This song expresses the feeling that comes with breaking free of exceptions of others and simply being you. I guess you could say it's a perfect song to be self-produced and recorded in years.

lyrics

I've been living in the way you wanted
oh half the time
I've been living for the way you wanted
I don't why
I've been living for the others so long
I don't know why
But I am giving up this pleasing people
It's cost me my whole life

I've been living in the way you wanted
oh half the time
I've been living for the way you wanted
I can't figure out why
I've been wanting to roll away
for so long
And I know I won't be led astray

Don't let this fear overtake you
I know what it's like when you just don't give up
Don't let this fear come overtake you
Open up your eyes and let the breath in your lungs
