about

I wrote this at the end of the album process. Pushing though your procrastination is very hard to do, especially when it is because delaying completion of things delays dealing with your own fear of failure, I got to the point where I was worried I would actually die from an accident and never get my album finished!! The thing about dogs and tricks is you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but the old dog can teach himself, if he needs to badly enough.

lyrics

Not everyone can think out loud
It’s a trick to turn your brainwaves inside out
So don’t get too caught up in what they say
Coz it wasn’t meant for them anyway
Get yourself uncomfortable
If you're ever gonna do it, do it at all
Coz I never thought I'd get through this
But that's the thing about dogs and tricks

Indecision holds you back
Leaves you paralyzed
Don’t matter if its not the highest art
Fallen angels drop so fast
So what are you waiting for
You’ll never finish if you never start

When you finish it its a final track
Its out of you now and it won’t go back
And you hear it on any other day
Never sounds like you anyway

The hardest tasks will give you more
They’re the things worth fighting for
The back burner is always the easy fix
But that's the thing about dogs and tricks
