* Lyrics
* Post-clear

File > New, stare at nothing for an hour or two,

Drop in a beat, like a hundred other artists would do,

Click in some chords, like a hundred other artists could do, like

Probably gonna hit that "don't save changes", again

Used to write a song a day...

It's just that lately my perfection's in the way, of me,

and I can't make no changes to save me...

Wish I could write more, care less,

Wish I could write more, and care less,

Write more, and care less,

and care less

Sometimes I'm angry I'm not doing better

than I thought I'd do at this point

I punish myself by depriving my health

of the things that I like until I fix this

But it doesn't really help I just get more depressed

I do even less cause I can't work when I'm stressed

And ignoring my friends, means when I'm finally done,

there'll be no one left to make this all worth it...

oh I've been thinking too much

and now two hours have passed

and I've got nothing to show...

I guess tomorrow

We'll give it another go

Paige: 'Feeling any better?'

Cole: 'I think so.'

'But I still just can't focus...'

'I want to keep making music, but, it's tough to get in the zone.'

Paige: 'I can only imagine it's hard to feel inspired in a, uh, hospital.

Cole: 'It's just all this second-guessing.'

Paige: 'What do you think causes it?'

Ian: 'Hey, I think we should move on. We don't really have time for this.'

Paige: 'But maybe this is our chance to help?'

Cole: 'It's tough not to feel like an imposter. Like I'm just copying other producers...'

'Actually, y'know, maybe you can check out this track I'm working on?'

'Tell me what you think, and stuff.'

Ian: 'There's a lot of stuff to do, we need to get going.'

Paige: 'Hm. Fine. I feel bad though.'

Ian: 'Sorry, gotta go, we'll check in later!'

Cole: 'Oh. Yeah, for sure. See ya.'
