A song about falling through the cracks in the system. It's not been a fun experience.

lyrics

Let me introduce myself
I spoke to you last year
You said that you'd get back to me,
but somehow I have yet to to hear
I don't mind a bit of waiting
I know you're a busy man
but I've been finding this frustrating,
two years on since it began
I think it's time this was concluded,
if it's all the same to you
I don't believe I'm being deluded
in saying resolution's way past due

Feels like the system that I've fallen through
Is nothing short of rotten
You didn't do the things you said you'd do
because I have been forgotten

The news has left me quite distressed
and I am overcome with gloom
Right now I think it's for the best
that you're not with me in this room
I thought that we were making progress,
that soon I'd finally get a call
But someone else has had to confess
that you've done nothing at all
I try to manage expectations;
disappointment's something I avoid
but mounting anger and frustration
has made me quite a bit annoyed

The past year's not been easy
but I'm done with cutting slack
This pain makes me feel queasy,
I want my good health back
I've been extremely understanding,
but I've had enough of being sick
As of now, I'm going to start demanding:
I want to get this sorted, quick
I think a year's enough digression
While my condition's not severe
I only have a single question:
how do we move on from here?

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
