Chemical Sleep
According to the band, “Chemical Sleep is a look at the effects of addiction, through the eyes of a friend. While the song itself never refers to any particular vices, it can be applied to any and all ways in which we harm ourselves or seek escape. The song explores the attitude and personality changes we have seen in people close to us, from the excuses and lies we make to hide our habits, to the way we push others away when they try to help us.”

I used to write a lot when I was in middle school/high school. I haven't written a story for fun since I was maybe 16 or 17. I am a bit rusty, but with practice I'll be even better than I was before.Oh and I now have a mic cover for my mic now. I think the sound is much better than it was before, but of course it can still improve. It was gifted to me and I didn't realize how much of an improvement it would make until now.https://www.reddit.com/r/writingcriti...
