FAWM: "Atrophy"

Atrophy

NSFW

I had a brief medical scare the other day and I am turning 37 next month so heres my fear of death tune I guess, song 1!

Wake the fuck up Im losing it Cant hear anything From my left again And try as I might I Am trying too hard To catch my breath

Keep piling the bricks Til the ribs squeeze Boiling all the blood Til I atrophy And try as I might Im trying too hard To flirt with death

So move me to and fro Oh move me soft and slow Move me or let me go

Creak each of my knees With each gesture Make a chore of the joy Lifting my daughter Each twinge a reminder That I am the one to blame

And so here it comes, Nearing Easter Each spring is a winter reminder I can’t take it back but I’m trying so hard to Fight the end

So move me to and fro Oh move me soft and slow Move me or let me go

Don’t let me go

I love the tone of your guitar and vocals in this. Has a fantastic lo-fi sound that I really like. Wonderful emotion in your voice.

It’s due to recording via my phones voice notes 😭😂 thanks!

Ah, hope you're doing better after the scare! Lots of emotion in this, unsurprisingly. Beautifully done.

Thanks so much love! Theres tests and stuff being done so, we’ll figure it out hopefully

Intriguing lyrics; great metaphors (keep piling the bricks 'til the ribs squeeze). Lovely vocals and acoustic guitar. Welcome to FAWM!

Thanks! I succeeded FAWM in 2024, hoping I can manage it again this year :)
