about

Written and recorded Feb 4, 2017

After trying to come up with ideas to write about all day and getting some suggestions that I didn’t feel I could work with, this one came when I pulled up to load in to a gig at Hush Lounge. I was early and knew I had to write something before I played the gig so I had this idea about “the writer’s block” being a bar that writers go to when they run out of ideas.

lyrics

Hanging round all day at the writers block
It seems like empty bottles are all the seem to stock
So I asked the bartender to recommend her favorite drink
She said I'll serve you up my poison but you're gunna need some time to think

Threw down $7.50 and she handed me an empty glass
Said you better keep em coming if i'm gunna make this pass
Said im mixing up a coctail that'll take the words right from your mouth
I took a stiff sip of something and that's when it all headed south

Down at the writers block
You don't even have to say a word
Bad ideas and small talk
Start speaking in cursive when all your thoughts have become slurs

My eyes the filled with darkness and I couldn't hear a thing
I lost my voice of reason, & i couldn't even sing
I felt like i was floating with nothing underneath my feet
and it was there inside that moment I was stuck there with only me

When I came back to she said "its 2 for 1"
You came in at happy hour now's the setting of the sun
I said you handed me my nightmare how is that supposed to help
She said you have to die a little if you ever want to understand yourself

Down at the writers block
You don't even have to say a word
Bad ideas and small talk
Start speaking in cursive when all your thoughts have become slurs

Down at the writers block
You don't even have to say a word
Bad ideas and trash talk
Start speaking in cursive when all your thoughts have become slurs
