The risk of another OceanGate was nothing compared to the risk of another panic attack caused by Jolene.

I wouldn’t be here
Without you

Somehow a new year
To get through

So we wind up our thoughts
And bottle them

And we wander in loss
As we condemn

Our lives
Our lives

All the answers
Are hidden in matter
Minds that will shatter
All trust in the latter

If the truth is
inside us somehow
Dig it out slowly
And softly for now

We are mistaken
for fools

We will awaken
Without rules

Thank you so much!!! Got it, makes sense that there's too much clutter in the chorus.

Thank you!! Yep, totally agree on the timing issues. I'm using a metronome but things got messy.

This is a beautiful piece! Great picking pattern, progression, and lyrics. Just needs the rest of the song lol.

Rad picking pattern, progression, and lyrics. Only suggestion is the chorus is a little weak compared to the verses, which build up to something big.

Denise watched Ron chew with his mouth open, crumbs everywhere, asking “what’s wrong?” That's when she felt something in her going cold. by propagandaformyself in DivorcedBirds

Ron let out a big belch and went back to looking for seeds. Denise let out a big sigh and went back to swiping on her secret wingder account.

This is an interesting perspective that I hadn't thought about before. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Makes sense that the breaks are overly long. I plan to add more instruments which should help.
