about

If there's any recognition for my song "Break the Wall", this song is the original demo.

Recorded on September 30, 2010, after an interaction between my family that put my at a complete stand still in my personal life. I felt humiliated, I felt out of control in my own life. I was in tears, and truly wanted to end it all. So I wrote about it.

Recorded after school, using my telecaster, and my Yamaha keyboard playing drums and bass. The song was recorded direct-input into Audacity.

I say I have everything I've ever wanted, but the truth of what I wanted, was freedom and independence from my family, which I'd been yearning for, for well over 4 years before I wrote this song (as referenced earlier in this collection).

My cat's name was Sherlock.

lyrics

How do you know when you are done?
When you now feel very useless.
I have everything that I've wanted
Now only if this were true

Did it work for you?
Did you break the wall?

My only true friend is my pet cat
He leaves me alone and doesn't talk much
I have nothing written on this paper
I guess I should now end this song.

Did it work for you?
Did you break the wall?
Did it work for you?
Have you given up?
