This song is a co-write by the by whole band. Deals with the fear of the creative well running dry.
Lyrics
To Satisy the Muse (2024)
I want to be where songs can find me
Songs fly over my head every day
I can’t pin them down
All of my life
I’ve been chasing these sounds
I don’t care about what really happens
I only care about turning events all around
Into something I found
I make better sense of them
The second time around
If I play hard enough
And say just enough
Elusive grace may find me
If I tear my chest open
In a savage motion
Exposing what is inside me
Will it be enough to satisfy the muse?
Am I enough to satisfy the muse?
I used to be a song fountain
Songs sprung out of me and gently floated down
And then more songs came round
I had so many songs
Wish I had them now
I work so hard to satisfy my muse
I play my fingers until they’re touching string to bone
To stave off feeling alone
Here’s another song
Maybe this one will hit home
If I play hard enough and say just enough
Lucy Grace will find me
If I tear my chest open in a savage motion
Exposing what is inside me
Will it be enough to Satisfy the Muse?
Am I enough to satisfy the muse?
Art for art’s sake
Music is no mistake
No matter how few
People hear my little tunes
Will it be enough to satisfy the muse?
Am I enough to satisfy the muse?
