Day 1: "What My Head Wants"

Most afternoons around 3 or 4PM, I have general, anxious feelings about what's going on in my life. These feelings usually coincide with a nap I take after getting home from my daytime serving job.

I'm not sure why they happen. Maybe it has something to do with coming down from the frenetic pace of being a lunch server.

Normally these feelings distress me further because I feel I have no control or use for them. But today, while taking one of the dangerous naps, the anxiety started to kick in and I acted.

I immediately began writing the lyrics to this song.

I hope I was able to turn the negative into the positive.

I'll let y'all judge.

Enjoy.

What My Head Wants by Matt Ramsey


Lyrics:

"Go to bed with my darkest thoughts
Wake up with enemies
I want to get up but cannot
I want to do what I please

But these feelings
You know these feelings let me down

I know it's not fair to you
A King without a crown
I'm a joker who tells the truth
but never makes a sound

But these feelings
You know these feelings let me down

You are what my head wants

Stepping on my mind's garden
So those fuckers never get up
I'm a lot like hangovers
I'm sensitive to the touch

But these feelings
You know these feelings let me down

You are what my head wants"
