Partly Fiction by ellipsis

*featuring lead vocals from Evermind

list is of "things the narrator would (or wouldn't) do if he didn't have to appear normal to society" *

I’d go to parties all the time
I’d suck down all the booze
I’d tell my manager I’m gone
I’d get entire sleeve tattoos

CHORUS:
I’m partly fiction
But 100% real
Nothing that I say
Is exactly what I feel

I would confess my love to you
I would just say what’s on my mind
I would sing loudly on the street
I would be naked half the time

CHORUS

I’m so tired

I wouldn’t go to bed on time
I wouldn’t wash my hands or face
I wouldn’t exercise at all
I wouldn’t shower, wouldn’t bathe

CHORUS

excellent fuzz again, and I really like the addition of the synth melody to lift the chorus. The vocal has some good swagger to it that matches the energy of the guitar. The lyrics feel pretty basic but they hit the challenge and the performance is good enough that I only really notice when reading them, so not really an issue.

Are you trying to win this thing? Bad Ass riffs! Evermind vocals! Everything is so kick ass, then you throw on that gross wimpy synth in the chorus. It’s almost comical to me. You’re a guitarist, you’re a rocker, are you not anti-synth? The notes are fine, it shoulda been a different guitar, I know you have more. The lyrics don’t do much for me, but they’re fine, they don’t matter so much when you have rock power. This is a contender for this round! I love it!

The guitar tone is great, something needs to be tweaked in the drums so that they're living in the same space. Agree that the role of the synth in adding some texture difference could be moved to an instrument that fits in more organically with the rest. There may be a better bridge lyric than "I'm so tired" - especially when followed by "I wouldn't go to bed on time", it takes me off the central message, I think.
