all art doesn't have to be good to make it art, here is an example :)
Illusion of Pain - Rattlesnake
Oh, the illusion of pain is painted on your face With a glaring look of hope and anguish The rumours of an old love rattle through your brain The thought of her conquers your surroundings
The moon and the stars will shine on you tonight As you go place to place fighting off your demons You can't get away, but you sure can try Next time be careful of the dreams you're dreaming
You stare into the mirror, and a clown looks back His hair is green and his eyes are frozen Wrinkles on his chin and a stab wound in his neck He knows the odd sensation of your bleeding
Just remember a time when she was all that you wanted With no notions of a-parting But then time took hold, and dragged it all down The suffering had only just started
The illusion of pain is painted on my face And the hope is losing to the anguish The thoughts of an old love keep me up at night She has conquered all my surroundings

“Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand”

“Starry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will”

⭐I don't know any instruments, i don't read music, i don't know how to write songs, and so i wrote this song:
Inspirations: The Velvet Underground, The Beatles, The Doors, Bob Dylan
Miss Misery by Clean Teeth
well i'm looking at miss misery and well she just don't know my name But we have met before i knew her long before this game
We used to be acquaintances like friends of the night She'd come over and sleep with me Tell me everything was alright But i never knew her name didn't care much to ask The job she was doin' me Was to unlock me from past
Miss misery was always there she never charged no fee She could tell i needed her so she let me lean for free
She never asked no questions She would only ever stay the night and when the morning broke no doubt she'd be out of sight
i had a hold on her and i don't really know why but i have since lost her or so i thought, until tonight
and so i'm looking at miss misery for what i hope to be the very last time and she's starring back at me i see the devil in her eyes
She ain't no friend of mine yeah, she ain't no friend of mine
And so i'm walking out the door and i still don't know her name she knows the whole story and boy that feels so strange
i'll see her when i see her whenever that may be i got to nip it in the bud i got to be set free
i got to be free from miss misery

🌧“It's that chemical cut that I can get down with
Up like the moon and out like the hounds
A dangerous disposition somehow refracted in light, reflected in sound
I'm coiled up like the venomous serpent
Tangled in your trance and I'm certain
You have got your hooks in me
I know, I know, the way that it goes
You get what you give, you reap what you sow
And I can see you in my fate
I know, I know, I am what I am
The mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb
So darling, will you saturate?
And just like the rain
You cast the dust into nothing
And wash out the salt from my hands
So touch me again
I feel my shadow dissolving
Will you cleanse me with pleasure?”
they are the epitome of hopeless yearning and that is all i look for in a song
these lyrics wash my brain

noticing life and slowing things down has helped with every stress my body has, it's also got me going on walks to places i've never been before. I go alone and do walkie talkies sometimes too, which is like an audio journal log. i also get some cool pictures out of it.

⭐waking up at 7am today has been a painfully dreadful existence, and i've only been awake for 52 minutes. How do people do this?
