All Over the Place

My entry for NPR’s 2020 Tiny Desk Contest.

Lyrics:

And all I ever wanted
Was to live a dream
Like in one of those fiction books
Where there was always something > happening

But when I wrote my story
I never even tried
To write in things that I loved
It was always besides

The point of life
As if there is an answer for what’s
The point of life

Sitting at the movies
In the dark besides
All these people I don’t know
And all I want to do is cry

Cause I want to feel emotion
And I want to feel pain
Just give me something different
When did the same become the

The point of life
As if there is an answer for what’s
The point of life

And I don’t want to get into it
How we all wound up like this
I only wanted a fairy tale
Constructed from nothing but air
(these) Words are more beautiful than my > life can be
Life cannot match this melody
Just three notes descending down
Fills the air with rapturous sound…

And I don’t think that its dying
The young in me that’s trying
To reach the young that’s inside all of > you

And I want to feel all your emotion
I wanna take away your pain
A little same a little different
Life’s just a game

And there’s no point to life
If you don’t want to make people happy
There’s no point to life
If you don’t want to share your pain
There’s no point to life
If I can’t see my own eyes in
