Delusion Of Grandeur (Original Song) 

Hi! This is my entry for Trey Xavier's song writing contest! I've been writing for other artists for a while now, but this is the first time I've written something for myself that I'm genuinely proud of!
First off, I can't say how grateful I am to my Long Suffering wife for shooting the video, listening to a hundred draft mixes and encouraging me to enter.
I also want to thank Arend Brink Jr. from Arco Studios for Mixing and Mastering this song!
Check out Arco Studios here: • Lion King Medley Cover...
And then finally, Thank you to Trey Xavier for the opportunity. I'm a big fan of his channel and song writing contest. Super Stoked to enter!
I found myself musing on the time we find ourselves in as musicians. Technology available to anyone and everyone, ample opportunities! But non the less, it's easy to feel like you're just a drop in the ocean of content out there and loose sight of why we create in the first place.
Lyrics:
Verse 1
Straining to hear the silence
We all used to know.
Connections with no conditions
But we all feel alone.
pre
Calling out to you
Bathed in the afterglow
Hoping to break though
Lost in the overflow
Chorus
I’m so tired of drowning
As the world is caving in
I cant breath, so crowded
Asking where do I begin.
All I know is fading
And the waves of change come for us all end
I’m so tired of drowning
In this fight that I can’t win
Verse 2
We were fools to wander
And forget to phone home
Taking air from one another
And forgetting the reason we started this war
Calling out to you
Bathed in the afterglow
Hoping to break though
These fears that I can't outgrow
Chorus
I’m so tired of drowning
As the world in caving in
I cant breath, so crowded
Asking where do I begin.
All I know is fading
And the waves of change come for us all end
I’m so tired of drowning
In this fight that I can’t win
Bridge
Holding on (I know the worst is over)
Before we’re all gone (I see the Light we hope for)
Fight the dark within
Underneath my skin
Find a way to stay strong
