about

This past year and a half was really rough. I was already going through some hard growing pains, moving, saying goodbye to friendships/relationships etc... One day a 4 legged angel by the name of Clyde entered my life. He became my best friend. However, he had a rough past being previously abandoned and abused in the streets. We took him in and he warmed up to my family and I but still had remaining trauma that became increasingly hard to deal with. We also had an emergency where we thought we were going to have to put him down. Luckily by the grace of God and the help of a friendly nurse we were able to save him. All of that emotional turmoil and eventual release brought about this song, 'In My Head' where I'm finally letting out all the frustrations, pain, and fear that's been plaguing me.

lyrics

VERSE
Patience it just takes time he said
Well, I've already lost enough just trying to play nice
And I'm way too old to make the same mistakes and always end up this wrong
But to carry this weight on my shoulders, I think I'm way too young


PRE CHORUS
Without another minute I’m rushing towards the end there’s a life I want to live but it’s hard to get in
Well maybe this is my chance I…


CHORUS
Wish you could see
All the beauty that’s left to be found in what this could be
But we’re fighting with every doubt
Don’t let it be all in my head
Cuz I don’t wanna give up just yet


VERSE
Putting on the words that fit best
I don’t want to lie
We’ll look at the mess we made it’s only us
It’s only right

PRE CHORUS
Without another minute I’m rushing towards the end there’s a life I want to live but it’s hard to get in
Well maybe this is my chance I...

CHORUS
Wish you could see
All the beauty that’s left to be found in what this could be
But we’re fighting with every doubt
Don’t let it be all in my head
Cuz I don’t wanna give up just yet

OUTTRO
Not in my head
Not in my head
Can't give up yet
