Mr. C from Black by The Enigmatic Foe
Won't lie, I got inspired by Starflyer 59's "Mr. Martin" and Richard Swift's "Artist & Repertoire" when I wrote this. I don't think I ever wrote a song directed at myself in such a scathing manner before but I took great relish in it because I structured the lyrics as they might appear in a letter from a record label. I've gotten my fair share of rejection letters early on in my career but there needed to be more of a twist to it. To explain my credo, belief, Foe-losiphy...we are our own worst enemies. We all have that internal voice that says we are worthless, to not try, to make us feel guilt and regret. That is why "Mr. C" is SUCH a Foe song.

Lyrics
Mr. C,
We regret to inform you of your complete utter lack of direction. We all know you had hoped to be far along by the age presently. It's not meant to be. We've got a question, who listens to your self-deprecation? You're just another lonely boy with a guitar. You've said it a thousand times before. Don't you think it's pedantic seeming hopeless and frantic, how getting sentiment comes back as void? We still think you have proven given time you will ruin any chance of long-lasting happiness. Don't you hate to undermine? As we force you, you may find that we're never ever going to let this go.
To conclude with effect we remind you that we will be monitoring every move you make just in case you forget who you're dealing with.
All the best,
Sincerely,
The Voices In Your Head
Mr. C
