Hate yourself x2

Give up, for now.

Or just meh… on it, and play it like it is until it magically fixes itself.
Check for the subtitles if you want to read the lyrics.
You don't have to hate yourself.
I don't really write songs (not in any permanent way anyway), but I find myself following a very similar creative process to yours whenever I write anything... poetry, prose, even code.
I really love this song @kex, it's beautiful. Please don't ever hesitate to share any of your music with us here, finished or not. You have a real talent.
Thanks lem, really. <3 I'm glad you liked it <3
