Matt Walden - A Game
Who hurt you
Is this why you always leave?
Hiding in the
Books you read
Distractions baby, I get it
Yeah I’m scared of therapy
Oh stockholm syndrome
To no one but me
I put shoes on my feet
I’m fine i think
I’m fine i think?
I don’t need to be
On my a game all the time
Like you, I bleed
Only human but my mind
It screams at me
“do i ever really try?”
Well it feels like
I’m working on myself till i die
Is anybody really happy
Exactly where they think that they are?
I’m usually an optimist
But some days i want to crash my car
Get the thoughts out of my head
I’ll write it instead, well i’ll write it instead
I don’t need to be
On my a game all the time
Like you, I bleed
Only human but my mind
It screams at me
“do i ever really try?”
Well it feels like
I’m working on myself till i die
Over it
Over it
I read all the books
I’m even going to bed
I quit all my vices
But the voice in my head
Says no matter how hard it eventually gets
Every day above ground
Is better than dead
I don’t need to be
On my a game all the time
Like you, I bleed
Only human but my mind
It screams at me
“do I ever really try?”
Well it feels like i’m
It feels like i’m
I don’t need to be
On my A game all the time
Like you, I bleed
Only human but my mind
It screams at me
“do I ever really try?”
Well it feels like
I’m working on myself till I die
Till I die
Working on myself till I die

Biography
At the age of 15, I started writing songs in my room stemming from heartbreak and hormones. Posting originals and quick covers on YouTube of artists such as The Maine , All Time Low, & Ed Sheeran.
Come 2014, I moved out of the house and resided in my hometown of Bradenton, FL. to utilize the recording opportunities via the Del Couch Music Education Foundation. All in the meanwhile, building a small following via Vine (R.I.P.).
In the next few years, things got real.
I quit my job in 2015 to fully dedicate my time to creating music. During this time, some unfortunate events occurred & left me in a ‘homeless’ situation. Living on friends couches and spending each day in the studio working with Raven Chapman to create the ‘Life – EP’ released in 2015.
After that release, I had a bit of a revelation. Music was how I escape from all the rough patches in my life; what if I could help give that same type of escape to other people?
I wrote ‘Breathe.’ in October of 2016 about my dealings with suicide, depression & overall negative thoughts I had. Hoping to spark hope in not only myself but others who may be dealing with things similar to what I went through.
The goal is one thing. Create an escape for others.
Whether the songs are fun, sad, or confused; making each show & track about being someone else’s escape is the ultimate plan.
