EDIT: I listened to this track again before bed and did a MUCH cleaner mixdown on the track as a whole. I updated the file attached to this Patreon post as well as the ZIP files in the drive. Should be way less muddy :)

VERY tough stream today. Pivoted to a new song probably 30 minutes into the stream and went almost an hour over, but I'm pleased with how the song came out. Spent a lot of time at the end singing lyrics and I feel like it really brought the song together.
These lyrics were initially made by an AI (I prompted "Write some lyrics about a song about missed calls") and then I made some VERY HEAVY edits to them to fit the music itself. It worked out very well.
Verse 1
I see your name flash on my screen
I'm too afraid to pick up
Not ready to face what you say
Or the emotions that erupt
Chorus
Missed calls
haunt me
'minds me
what could have been
I couldn't hit send
Bridge
I should pick up the phone
hear you out,
give you a chance
the fear of what might be said
freezes me up
stops my advance
Verse 2
I play our last argument
On repeat in my mind
Wish I could take back words I said
and leave this all behind
Chorus
Missed calls
haunt me
'minds me
what could have been
and then I hit send
