I'm only able to do what I do because of people like Teewok. I'd be lost without all the excellent beat makers on this site. Teewok is one of my favorites, almost everything he creates takes me somewhere I want to write about. Sometimes his beats take me to a place that I was previously unaware existed. I love him for that!

LYRICS:
No getting over it, the loneliness is soberin',
Things became deathly still, I became motion sick,
A ghost within, a shell of my former self, an opening,
Negative space where I was focusing,
But who could blame me, I wasn’t quite the same me,
I gave up a soulmate, nothing could more shame me,
I gave up tamely, I should’ve clawed and scratched more,
We lacked access, could I’ve hacked a back door,
Told my friends not to “fish in the sea” me,
Yes I know it’s true but that makes it sound too easy,
I loved this woman so endless-fathoms-deeply,
What no one came close to, she came to completely,
I wouldn’t’ve minded if time didn’t heal the wound,
She was “what could’ve beens,” with which I was all-consumed,
I slept restless on the altar in that vaulted room,
Sealed from the inside in what was both a vault and tomb,
-------------
Now I see my broken heart as wabi-sabi,
I break down the barricades, bolster up my hobby,
The ordeal revealed where I was shoddy,
The grief and relief, the motif I embody,
