Music & Lyrics by Ben Visini
Guitar by Gerard Cabarse
Recording & Mixing by Ben Visini

Mastered with CloudBounce via CDBaby
I have a very bad habit of not being able to sit down and write. I feel as though a lot of other creatives, no matter the field, have some trouble forcing themselves to make something. I want to break this habit and be able to - or at least attempt to - create something whenever I want/need to, not just when I have random sparks of inspiration.
Huge thanks to Gerard Cabarse of Sleeptalkers for helping out with this one. Check his stuff out:

THE PLAN:
This is part of a project I'm doing called "7-Day Songs"! I'm challenging myself to write, record, and edit a new original song/video each week, every Tuesday. Planning to do this until the shelter-in-place/lockdown ends, might extend this past that!
I'm mainly a piano player & songwriter, not so much a bass player/recorder/mixer at all, so please bear with me as I try to improve these upcoming weeks!

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
Nothing happens anymore
Without a little divine intervention
That's how you think a genius thrives
But most of the time you will be bored
Inhibited by your ideal invention
When all you want to do is thrive
CHORUS
But you will only fall to the occasion
Paralyzed by lack of motivation
You may hold out for some inspiration
Don't you wait, you can't wait, please don't wait, there's no time
Don't you wait, never wait, please don't wait, there's no time
No time at all
VERSE 2
I thought that I would have some drive
Instead I fell into old habits, of course, they didn't work
The page is not the only thing full of empty space
Those ways feel good to keep alive
How can one love this if one has to force it
One day a good idea might slap you in the face
CHORUS
But you will only fall to the occasion
Paralyzed by lack of motivation
You may hold out for some inspiration
Don't you wait, you can't wait, please don't wait, there's no time
Don't you wait, never wait, please don't wait, there's no time
No time at all
BRIDGE
Wasted potential, the best will come without even trying
Woah-oh-oh
A guarantee you'll never find what you've done satisfying
Woah-oh-oh
You fall in love with the artist you could be and wait for another day
When you don't need to think so hard about what to say
CHORUS
But you will only fall to the occasion
Paralyzed by lack of motivation
You may hold out for some inspiration
Don't you wait, you can't wait, please don't wait, there's no time
Don't you wait, never wait, please don't wait, there's no time
No time at all
