Songs for No One

I′ll sing for you now
These won't make much money
Cause maybe they′re out of touch
But I'm trying my best
I sit at my desk
Writing these songs for no one

Could look in the mirror
But I'm spinning these characters
It′s easier than showing myself
Honesty hurts
It′s like rolling in dirt
So I'm writing these songs for no one

The process of art
Should be a release
But it serves just to strengthen the cage
Internal reflection
Won′t bury the tension
Cause I'm writing these songs for no one

I think of my heroes
Can′t play at their level
Been master of none all my days
But these melodies sound pretty
Guess I'll feel less shitty
When I′m writing these songs for no one

I hate to promote them
Not a bone in my body
Could make me an entrepreneur
It's clear that the fat cats
Would laugh if they saw that
I'd be writing these songs for no one

When you′re living alone
You get used to the sound
And you fill it the way that you can
So I switch on the keys
They might put me at ease
While I′m writing these songs for no one

When you open the hood
And you're rooting around
It can seem like you′re pressing a bruise
The pain of existing gets harder to bear
But it's all in the life that you choose

Promise to you
I′ll finish these projects
That no one is asking about
Perhaps you can tell
I'm reminding myself
That I′m writing these songs for no one
I'm writing these songs for
No
One
