burned out - original song | dodie

HI IT'S BEEN A WHILE. There is a letter to u down here plz! edit the last lyrics don't mean leave LIFE lol I am not suicidal

SO this past year has been a time of RELEASING music. Producing the songs I've written and put out on this channel, writing for production and playing with a band on tour.
Trouble IS now I feel like everything I put on this channel must be for production
which sends me into a SPiRAL of "it's not good enough to be recorded! once I upload it that's IT it's finished and cannot be changed! I can't set this in stone!`" etc

hence why no uploads, creative crisis, etc. But I think what I'm going to do iiiiis
ignore that lol. And just upload anyway.
BUT, to my audience - plz bare in mind that these are like... first drafts of songs. When I go to produce them we might change stuff around, add new sections, etc. And for that I am sorry!

I fly to LA for the WHOLE of january. I'll be writing and collabing my heart out!
I'm so sorry for the hiatus. This year has been a LOT
love u! truly! thank you for EVERYTHING. And your words and love DO help me. I'm working on believing them. xxx

LYRICS

he was certain
so was I
there was comfort
in her sighs
dreams and ideas should not be the same thing
You waited smiling for this

oh she’d want it
if she knew
she could take it,
I thought too
be careful be cautious but you just wished harder
you waited smiling for this

chorus
“But they love you!” over and over “they love you!”
thousands and thousands of
eyes just like mine
aching to find
who they are
and they love you! oh you can feel how they love you!
coated and warm but that’s
all they can do
words only get through
if they’re sharp

Oh how fitting
for one so fake
make me a fairy
whatever it takes
and just like her tale my dream was a scam
Oh you waited smiling for this

I am burnt out
I smell of smoke
it seeps through her cracks and so I start to choke
sentences sit in her mouth that are templated
You waited smiling for this

chorus

I can just talk about it
maybe I'll talk about it
i'll never talk about it
i cannot talk about it

don't build hope on something broken
i am not cartoon
cry for help
i am not joking
i might just leave soon.


if u like my writing - i wrote a book! http://secretsforthemadbook.com/
