Week #39 - Envy

Music has been a struggle lately. Playing the guitar feels like a chore. Heck, even listening to music lately feels like something I have to slog through for some unknown reason. Needless to say it's been another unproductive week on the music writing front.

On the plus side, I found myself thinking about something the other day and realized it's been forever since I just sat and thought about anything. So I wrote the following words. The title is a phrase that just popped into my head, and as for the rest, I hear a melody to it, but I haven't been able to work out a song from it yet. So in lieu of a recording this week, here are some lyrics (I think it still counts as a song):

Mixed Up Disco In The Face

My mind is flickering
Like a long unused light
Just switched on for the first time
In a long, long while tonight.

Strange snippets and phrases
Keep popping up in my head -
Brought out of nowhere to show me
That I might not mean what I said.

I used to think I had something to say,
But the older I get, the more I didn't know yesterday.
Oh, to be certain, to know that I know,
But no matter how hard I believe, it doesn't make it so.
