This is uh...well, my first ever post here, and thank you so much to my friend for introducing me to this wonderful platform. I was informed about COMPOST #5 and I was dealing with a lot today so I was not really thinking about putting a submission in, but...well, in the last few hours, something just kind of floated down into my head from the ether and I decided to go ahead and write out and perform this tune.
I hope you really enjoy it, just imagine a little caterpillar is playing you this song on his little guitar, and wants you to know that they know what you've been going through and that they've been struggling too. But they know that it's possible to keep smiling ππ
LYRICS (they won't be exactly what you hear cause y'know, spirit of the project and all. This was only my second take and I am happy with it):
Oh man I feel like a zombie
Woke up without any coffee
No this just isn't the same me
I need a magic spell
Just wish somebody would hold me
Hug me tight like a plushie
Promise that they'll get me safely
Through another day in hell
Cause I'm trying to be strong
In a world that moves too fast
I just want to carry on
More than I'd just like to last
Can someone throw me a life line
Maybe just give me a high five
Tell me that I'm doing just fine
And that I'm not alone
We're all just trying to find time
To double check that we're alright
Maybe we all need to unwind
And rest our weary bones
And I know we can be strong
No matter what may come to pass
Yeah we all can carry on
With a love that always lasts
