This song is about writer’s block and the fear of other people thinking your art is terrible.
Tuning: Standard, capo 4
Lyrics:
Put the pen down
And walk away
Words become silence
Til some other day
Maybe I just don’t understand
The struggle is part of the plan
But I’ll keep searching for
The art in you
The art in you
Staring off into space
And slip away
Things that came easy
No longer that way
Maybe I just don’t understand
The struggle is part of the plan
But I’ll keep searching for
The art in you
The art in you
You used to imagine big things
You used to be so brave
You used be something else
When did you get so scared
Maybe I just don’t understand
The struggle is part of the plan
But I’ll keep searching for
The art in you
The art in you
Hazen James
