Ode to the Modern Artist (Bored)
Lyrics:

everything i do is new
until its not
everything i make is fresh
until it rots

i just wanna write a song
that i forget each time it ends
so every time i hit repeat
it’d be like the first time again

maybe i get bored
a little too soon
for my own good
but i’m being spoon fed instant gratification
every creation is overplayed before it’s even finished

i’m getting bored
of this chorus i'm playing
i’ll change up the chord
so it’s not the same as the last line
throw in a key change
mental stimulation
play me something that i’ve never heard before

maybe i get bored
a little too soon
for my own good
but we're being spoon fed into overconsumption
waiting for nothing attention span gone
i forget what i’ve been waiting for
if i have to wait a moment or two or three more
i’m being spoon fed instant gratification
every creation is over promoted
not to sugar coat it but-

i’m bored of that key i was in just now
(the concept of this song is not original)
but maybe how i’m going about it
is new to a handful of ears
and they’ll love it
and they’ll have it on loop-

till they're bored
order merch have it sent straight to the second hand store
i am turning into PG Bo Burnham
for reasons i don't know
i think it’s because i got bored of my previous style
what if after a while
no one really listens to me anymore...

(long instrumental anticipation build up woOooOOo)

we’re right back where we started
reinvent the wheel 1000 times
will i make it as an artist
or will i bore them all before i reach my prime

there's only so many ways to write to strum to rhyme
(everything i do is- everything i do is-)
only so many hooks and melodies to score
(everything i do is- everything i do is-)
only so many ways to make my music mine
(everything we do is- everything we do is-)
to reignite the love we have for art till we get
bored
