Sell My Soul - Official Lyric Video
0So, just a couple months after uploading the last lyric video for Lived Legends, I'm officially announcing my next Album Project, IT JUST HURTS. It is the longest album I've ever written, both in terms of track number (22 full lyrical tracks, with 3 instrumentals), and in terms of run-time (Over 2 hours long). I'm not exactly expecting any of it to go to the top of the Billboard Top 100, hence this song's theme, but I'm pretty proud of the songs I've written. Take a listen.

Hi, my name is Sorio, and I'm a nonbinary weirdo on YouTube who plays video games and makes music! I'm working hard to make content that I think people will enjoy, so if you like this video, go ahead and check out some of my other stuff! It would mean a lot.

LYRICS:
Is this what I’m meant to be
Is this what I’m meant to do
Is this all I’m meant to say
Am I getting through to you
Every story that I write
Every song I ever sang
All the art I made for you
Always comes across the same
Should I just give up the game
Should I give them what they crave
Never one to rock the boat
Just stick to the notes they gave
I’ll just play the same old chords
They’ve been playing all my life
Never mind if it sounds good
Just be better than…fuck
I could never write a pop song
Never a best seller
She still believes in me
What should I just tell her
If I was a rock star
I could make a killing
Be the next big voice and
Always make it thrilling
I could be a hero
To a generation
But would that fit in with
Anything I’m making
All I want to be is
Something I could never
Is that something new yet
Is that something clever
I’m a mess now
Not a man
Nobody knows
What I am
Can’t write solos
Can’t write prose
Could draw better
I suppose
Not a woman
Hardly hot
I’m defined by
What I’m not
Is this something
Like at all
Or have I just
Hit a wall
I’m too rich to be a punk
I’m too punk to do ballet
I’m too queer for country songs
I’m too southern to be gay
I’m too white for R&B
I’m too cheerful for the blues
Too self-hating for myself
And too self-centered for you
I’m too nerdy to be cool
I’m too lazy to be smart
Too angry to work a job
Too impatient to make art
I’m too young to miss the past
And too old to make a scene
I’m too rude to be polite
Too self-conscious to be mean
If anybody asks you I’m not here
I could be the failure of the year
I could have my one real break and choke
Wouldn’t that be one sad All She Wrote
Is this what I’m meant to sing
Is this what you want to hear
Is it better if I stay
Or if I just disappear
Is it wrong to want applause
For the work that I put in
Or is it because there’s none
That they’re picking at my skin
Am I getting it across
Everything I want to say
I don’t know if it was clear
But I’m gonna be okay
I just wish that I knew how
To make something more divine
I don’t want to sell my soul
Just to make art that isn’t mine
