Curious Quail - Impostor Syndrome
Part seven of "Twelve Months"! The restrictions for this song were: Key of F#Major, Verse / Chorus can't be same time signature and vibe of "Acing a test you didn't prepare for at all and you're convinced something is wrong with the grade".
More about 'Twelve Months':
On the first of each month in 2018 we are assigned 3 randomly selected restraints and have to write a song, record it, film it and release it before the end of that month. At the end of month 12, all of the songs will be remastered for a full-length with some B-Sides. There's a running playlist here in our YouTube, check it out!
(The Gameboys are running a 2xLSDJ configuration)

LYRICS:
The day was off to a good start
A lead, a sale, a raise
but brain fills with intrusive thoughts
And all good things erased
Someone compliments your work
It makes you hesitate
You know somehow that shoe will drop
And kill you while you wait
But
Hold on
This isn’t you talkin'
For so long
You were raised to believe that your brain can't be wrong but it’s
So wrong
You gotta stop listenin'
And find your worth
Every win comes with a shock
Time and time again
Ticking borrowed time till you're
Abandoned by your friends
Cuz someday they will find you out
Someday they'll see you
For this bed of trash you are
Who cannot follow through
You cannot follow through
But
Hold on
This isn’t you talkin'
For so long
You were raised to believe that your brain can't be wrong but it’s
So wrong
You gotta stop listenin'
And find your worth
Block it out
You need to some how
And when you're down
Know that
There's only you and you're good enough
And you've earned all these things that you're good at
There's only you and you're good enough
You'll be the best you, you're good enough
Wait and see
Wait and see
