DRAWING A BLANK – Here I sit with my pen in hand. I’m staring at a blank page. Things have not gone according to plan. I’m trapped in my own cage. I’m not gonna write a song today. I don’t have enough time. I’m not gonna write a song today. There’s too few words left to rhyme. I can’t string any chords together. The melody stays in my head. Feel the frustration and the anger. I’m the stone that’s been bled. The light’s a flashin’ but I can’t see. I’m sittin with guitar in chair. I hit stop and I stare at the machine and today I don’t care.
