DOUBT STARTS CREEPING IN

#newvideo #halloween #creepy #insane #mentalhealth #trip #crazy #fun
This song I wrote during the pandemic when we were all becoming a little crazy! It's about mental health issues in a scary kind of way for Halloween. I tried different rhythms for it and threw in a lot of sound effects here and there but I don't feel I recorded what I was hearing in my head. The lyrics are pretty good but the music is so-so. It's a little too long, I should have cut maybe another minute out of it. I was trying to set the right mood. It is a little spooky, especially at night when you're all alone in a creaky house, that's when the doubts start creeping in!😱👻 The video was fun, I worked very hard on it a few months ago just for Halloween 2024. Getting creeped out and losing your mind is not my idea of fun! Why do we like being scared so much? Who knows? This is video #3 for Halloween. Thanks for watching and happy trick or treating out there. Be safe & be carfeul!🧟‍♂️👀👻

“DOUBT STARTS CREEPING IN”


WHEN THE SUNLIGHT DIMS,

THE DOUBTS CREEP IN,

LIKE A DRIP AT FIRST,

SOON BECOMING WORSE,

THAT'S WHEN THE HEADACHES BEGIN,

WHEN DOUBT STARTS CREEPING IN,


WHEN THE DRINK BRINGS PEACE,

AND THE MIND'S AT EASE,

MEMORIES EBB AND FLOW,

FIRST QUICK THEN SLOW,

SLEEP ARRIVES WITH OUR BOURBON AND GIN
,
THEN DOUBT STARTS CREEPING IN,



WITH EACH TICK OF THE CLOCK,

WITH EACH THOUGHT FORGOT,

WE WITHDRAW WITHIN OUR OWN HEART,

SHADOWS MAY BE CAST,

ON SINS OF THE PAST,

BUT FAITH ALWAYS SEES BEST IN THE DARK,


WHEN THE COBWEBS CLEAR,

AND THE END DRAWS NEAR,

WE REGROUP TO FIGHT,

YET ANOTHER NIGHT,

THIS TIME WE BELIEVE WE MIGHT WIN,

THEN DOUBT STARTS CREEPING IN,



WITH EACH TICK OF THE CLOCK,

WITH EACH THOUGHT FORGOT,

WE WITHDRAW WITHIN OUR OWN HEART,

SHADOWS MAY BE CAST,

ON SINS OF THE PAST,

BUT FAITH ALWAYS SEES BEST IN THE DARK,



THAT'S WHEN THE HEADACHES BEGIN,

WHEN DOUBT STARTS CREEPING IN.
