I like the sentiment. Had me wondering if this was God or Jesus or Spiderman LOL

No just the facade he puts on to hide his insecurities.

Wow! That's a great lyric. Don't really have anything to add to that 🙂

Thanks. Still trying to recruit New members

yes very good...I didn't say that earlier

If you don't find somebody offering up, I can try the music. I'll understand if you want to share yourself LOL

good idea...

Bridge ...I was going to suggest for the bridge a little better light for the singer...

I wish  I had no need for him, but I know I do.

He's the lie I  share with you, 'til I find my truth.

Good luck.

That's good!
