    This was originally a poem I wrote during chemistry my junior year. I can't remember exactly what it's about, but it probably has something to do with girls. Or school. Or both. One interesting thing about the recording is that, besides the strumming and singing, I also did the solo toward the end. Overdubbing is cool.

    Story Behind the Song
    This was originally a poem I wrote during chemistry my junior year. I can't remember exactly what it's about, but it probably has something to do with girls. Or school. Or both. One interesting thing about the recording is that, besides the strumming and singing, I also did the solo toward the end. Overdubbing is cool.

    Lyrics
    It's a bird with a broken wing
    But don't kill it
    It's a forgotten shattered dream
    So fulfill it
    It'll wear away at your pride
    But until it
    Gets done, life's no fun

    But the saddest part of this little story
    Is according to rhyme and allegory
    You're not the only one
    No you're not the only one

    You're guilty of trying
    To crush it
    Sabotaging yourself
    But don't rush it
    It's in your grasp, just reach out
    And touch it
    You’re not the person you were

    But the saddest part of this little story
    Is according to rhyme and allegory
    You’re not the only one
    No you’re not the only one

    And my favorite part
    Of any song is the solo:
    (solo)

    But the saddest part of this little story
    Is according to rhyme and allegory
    You’re not the only one
    No you’re not the only one
