When My Voice Issues All Get Sorted Out

When My Voice Issues All Get Sorted Out

This is the next song in the possession album; it's about how my voice got all f****d up at the end of the album and how I wanna go back and fix those songs later on, when my voice issues get sorted out (I think I'm getting closer - we'll see). I started a-wondering, too, if maybe there's some weird, subconscious thing going on with my voice - like maybe the self-sabotaging part o' me somehow made my voice all janky so it would ruin the album. I tend to do my worst work at the end of a project consistently. Is it self-sabotage? Or nervousness about trying to make sure the ending doesn't suck? Maybe it's all of the above. But the good news is, when I move onto some other project, I'll probably be less invested in this one, so I won't care as much when I go back and redo the songs where the vocals sucked, when I finally get around to it.

 The lyrics are:

My voice sucks a lot in lots of these songs
It sounds really weak when I want it to be strong

And I'll tell you now, and I'll tell you now
Someday, I'll re-record the ones that suck

I do not know why my voice had to die
At the end of this possession album

I will re-record the songs that sound like turds
When my voice issues all get sorted out

Is it some self-sabotaging tendencies on my part? That's what I'm thinking
Because the first four-and-a-half hours were good; now, it's a ship that is sinking
All the projects that are now rejects are so numerous, I cannot count them
Most of my projects at the end get all fucked up – the number of them's astounding

I will re-record the songs that sound like turds
When my voice issues all get sorted out

Someday we will exorcise the shittiness
From this album, and I think it will suck less

I will re-record the songs that sound like turds
When my voice issues all get sorted out

Here's the other little player thingy:
