Journal Entry Lyrics by Kellen Murphy

IV

2024

[Verse 1]
I used to write songs of vengeance
I used to write songs of want and yearning
I used to write songs of all my friends
And fictional yellow houses

[Verse 2]
I used to write songs about needing someone
I used to write songs for teachers I hated
I used to write songs about girls
Well, really just one in particular, and she knows who she is

[Bridge]
And it's like I'm out of words to say
I'm out of things to be
Out of things to do
I'll just play guitar and wait for phrases to pass me by
I am the sum of my experiences
Yet I feel so much less than the boy who's done what I'vе done
Or like I've donе nothing at all

[Verse 3]
It takes so much to be one
Being human is hard
Harder than we realize
Or harder than we want to acknowledge or admit
Consider these songs like journal entries
Made more cryptic by my need to feel
Like more of an author than a musician
Authors are regarded higher
Musicians just do drugs, or so I think

[Outro]
I miss when I was younger, but I don't remember it at all
I miss when I was younger, but I don't remember it at all
(I used to write songs about vengeance.)
I miss when I was younger, but I don't remember it at all
(I used to write songs about all my friends and fictional yellow houses.)
I wish that I was back when I was younger, so I could remember it all
(I used to write songs about needing someone, and she knows who she is.)
