try as you might, stage fright seems slightly off-kilter

"hey man, nice shot" by Filter implied Cobain, now we sustain

like guitar riffs no matter if the tension shifts

and we explore synth tones for those all alone

dreaming of one day yet as some would say or imply

how fantasies rely on speculative revelries

how terrible be the consequences inherent

for those fervent in pursuit, we salute

though there has arisen a dispute if

we can persist in our pathways

yet the problem stays
