Dave Clarke (me). I did it all on an iPad.

Bio

Lyrics

A splash of colour here, a load of shadow there
I’m not sure what it represents, but does it have to mean something?
How to best improve this scene? Can I remember last night’s dream?
It doesn’t have to make much sense, (but) maybe it means something?

Sometimes I doubt myself, sometimes I doubt myself

Am I good enough? Am I good enough?
Am I good enough? Am I good enough?

Sometimes I get vexed, maybe I’ll write a sitcom next
It’s gonna be a riot, I’ll put it all the people that I know
I got a gift, I’ve been told, I turn my shit into gold
Soon my faecal alchemy must benefit me somehow

Sometimes I hate myself, sometimes I berate myself

Am I good enough? Am I good enough?
Am I good enough? Am I good enough?

Am I good enough? Am I good enough? (etc)
I’m not good enough. I’m not good enough. (etc)
