Story Behind The Song
My friend jason and I were playing around with a 505 Groovebox, smoking a little, just enjoying some improve. He starting playing this nice fuzzy synth line over the beat, and I started singing. Just freestyle. In the end, we liked it, so I cleaned it up a little, changed some dynamics, played with some effects, and here you go.

Lyrics
I'm a Failure
At Fantasy
And broken dreams
are all I have
failure
at fantasy and broken dreams
of a child
evidence of change
evidence of change
in the air
evidence of change
failure
at fantasy
and broken dreams
are all i have
i'm a failure
at fantasy
and broken dreams
of a child
The other day
walkin down the street
met a man named jim
he told me
not to worry
everything
was ok
(repeat failure etc.)
What i've felt
is what i've known
and what I've known (metallica homage)
is little
What i've felt
is what i've known
and what I've known
is little
(repeat failure etc.)
Grasping
at straws of time
as they slip through
my fingers
like sand
slowly escaping
through the window of an hourglass
(repeat failure etc.)
