Original Song | All We Are

I did a thing. It was an accident? It's not my fault, okay!?

I was trying to explain my thoughts on a subject to one of my followers, and as I typed out my response, I realized, “No, wait. I can’t say that. That’s too flowery! How do I say this in common vernacular?”

So I realized they could’ve been lyrics. With that in mind, I sat down at a piano, and 90% of this immediately poured out within about ninety seconds of my fingers hitting the keys.

The bridge didn’t come until several minutes later when I was explaining it to someone else, in person.
She was like, “Did you just rhyme? Is that another song?”
And I had to be like, “...no. I’m just really flowery today by accident, okay?”

But I knew that the song wasn’t finished, so those couple sentences became the bridge and ended up being my favorite part of the song.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lyrics:
lately i’ve been thinking. not Sure what’s been on my mind.
lately I’ve been seeing more and more that we’re all blind.

all we are is human. all we are is all we’ve been.
we may all become more, but we’re only us ‘til then.

this is what we all are, but this is not all we are.
this is darK and so hard ‘til we find the light again.
i think i need a friend.

lately i’ve been lost in thought. i find a lot of things that way.
lately i’ve bEen wandering on the paths we’re all afraid to say.

all we are is human. all we are is alL we’ve been.
we may all become more, but we’re only us ‘till then.

this is what we all are, but this is not all we arE.
this is dark and so hard ‘til we find the light again.
i think i need a friend.

lately i’ve been wondering all the Things that i could be.
if i could die and still survive, then what would living really mean?

all we are is human. all we are is all we’ve been.
we may all become more, but we’re Only us ‘til then.

this is what we all are, but this is not all we are.
this is dark and so hard ‘til we find the light again.
i think i Need a friend.

seeds of death sown in our flesh, and we’re all afraid to see the flowers.
if we could die and still survive, then maybe we could be empowered.

this is what we all are, but this is not all we are.
this is dark and so hard ‘til you find the light again.
then i can be your friend.
i can be your friend.
