Scratch it out and try again.
I don't deserve this stupid pen.
I've written these words over fifteen times.
There's that voice inside my head,
"You won't amount to anything!"
I've gotten to know that sentiment so well
It's okay... I'm not freaking out, you're freaking out!
Don't think, just write shit down.
This incoherent mess.
I spill as I digress between my tangents,
and I guess I've lost my mind.
Try to get a thought-NO! I don't think so.
Watch my inner critic grow.
Scratch it out and try again.
I want to break this stupid pen!
I hear that voice inside my head.
I won't amount to anything.
I've written these words over twenty five times.
It's okay... I'm not freaking out, you're freaking out!
Don't think, just write shit...
I'm not okay! I think I'm freaking out. I'm freaking out!
Don't think, just write shit down.

Berkely duo Axe serve up four catchy, heavy synth-punk rippers inspired by campy horror flicks and old-school heavy metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2021
