I made this song a year or so ago and decided to upload it to youtube. No thats not my twin
The song is about growing up and facing the expectations of what you thought you would have become versus what you became. I've been dying to perform this live but there hasnt been an open mic available since I've written it.

LYRICS:
Like Damn,
I used to be the man
I was full of vigor and was bigger,
And I always had the plan
Now I'm looking in the mirror,
Unsure of who I am- wishing,
That I would, but I shouldn't cause I can't

Like Damn,
This used to be our jam
This song gave us a hunger when we were younger
Something I could understand
I wonder what would happen
Had I ever took the chance?
Probably could have made it famous
And been Proud of who I am
Like Damn

Now I'm getting older, disappointed
Life is bland
In a rut, and it sucks
Same song- different dance
I wonder what she's doing,
If she wonder's where I am?
I could of had her, I'm a bastard
I could have been her man!
I guess that doesn't matter
That wasn't in the plan
At a job, clicking pens
Do I like it? It depends
I only like it when it ends
Having treats and meeting ends
(But again that doesn't matter, I'm just glad that I'm not dead)

I could be sleeping in a box,
Eating trash out the can
Needing Drugs, Needing Cash
Needing Luck, Getting Stabbed
Now I'm nice and comfy
My face is still as ugly
And I got promoted to a higher spot up in my company
Like Damn! I thought that was the plan!
Cause after that I should be happy,
Now I'm grappling who I am
The love of money kept me company
Then it raptured in the end
You lose your wife, lose your kids
Lose your mind, lose your friends
Like Damn...

When they say go, they get away (You let them get away)
When they say go, you go (And now you gotta go)

Damn,
I'm supposed to be a man
I'm supposed to be a leader with an answer
Not a punk thats in a band
I wish that I could tell you but you wouldn't understand
I mean how even could you?
When you don't know who I am?

Like damn,
Like thats just who I am
Like damn.

If you've ever wanted to write your own songs but have no idea how to or where to start, my first advice is to just WRITE and make mistakes but my second bit of advice is to reach out to me. You can comment on the video and I'll respond further.
