These are lyrics that I wrote while I was trying to break into the music scene. I would make demos by singing and playing on my keyboard. I never had voice lessons; I didn't know how to play an instrument, and I had no musical talent whatsoever. I would record myself with an old tape recorder in my bathroom. My recordings were laughable at best, but I thought they sounded good at the time and even believed they'd land me a record deal. I can still remember how they sounded, and reading over these lyrics, I can hear the music playing in my head. The years were 1993 to 1995; I was 21 to 23 years old, respectively.
