Twice On My List

I played a new song at Open Mic this past Friday. It went reasonably well. I still get nervous before I play though and this causes me to throw in a few flubs even when I've practiced the song dozens of times without any flubbery. I'm very appreciative when people tell me they enjoyed it, but nobody seems to understand why I'm so hard on myself. I don't really understand it either but I sincerely appreciate the support even when I'm brooding like a childish artist. In any case, these are the lyrics that I wrote for it.

Twice On My List
By Michael Lagace

No matter how long you sit out, the pain will set in
It might only seem blanket-thin now, but you're suffocating

Find a home for your softening ground
Sink in alone and never, never be found

And all the times I've been let down
Enough to really get me down
Well, I counted you twice
Twice on my list

I watched you solemnly flip out through tears so flippant
The road you didn't know had washed out but you walked upon it

Find a home for your wandering doubt
Throw me a stone from your fragile house

And all the times I've been let down
Enough to really get me down
Well, I counted you twice
Twice on my list
