A Want for Wanting

I've been trolling through everything I wrote last year, and a wealth of what I wrote in years prior as a source of inspiration for what I'm writing now and what I've found is, despite the fact that I am writing, I miss writing. I have this insatiable hunger for wordsmithing. Writing lyrics is always an interesting endeavor. I find myself having to over-think everything, over-write everything, and then I pare it all down, simplify the themes, etc... It's hard to not get lost in metaphor and symbolism.
