The document is a diary entry from a musician discussing their motivation and goals. They choose music as their career because they love it and want to inspire others through sharing different genres of music. While the industry can be unpredictable, their strong passion allows them to be content creating and sharing music even without much success or popularity. They made balanced changes to their practice routine this week, incorporating production, schoolwork, and songwriting while taking breaks. They scored well on a personality test except for perfectionism and will work on solutions to procrastinate less and stick better to their routine.

Taking some time off, Trying to find out why
the lumber grows cold, in the wood that ages bold
You told me that you would come back, tell me that you'll never leave
Never felt more alive , than when I'm drunk alone inside
a feeling I can never reach, its brewing up inside.
do breakdown, into Dm#7 the em,g, am, d sing on the g and on the d then towards the end of the chorus
pick up the pace a and start singing on all notes
Chorus -
Never once have I, Felt what you felt
the abyss of loneliness, flying round the meteor belt
It's about time that I , finally introduce myself
I've never felt quite like this before my blood is pumping harder and harder and faster and quicker it's
time to realize that this can't be done, I can't be like the rest of them.
walking round in thecold, never looking back
always been told no, to keep on the track
finally set free, by the man in red who shows up dead
all I've got is time, time to find out why.
transition
2nd chorus*
