about

We as humans repeat and repeat and repeat as the seasons turn we unknowingly make similar decisions and feel certain ways year after year. This song is about sitting in the nothingness of knowing nothing yet still needing the truth to set us free to be happy.

lyrics

None of this feels real
So I’ll go for a steal
Allocation of time
Frozen tracks are mine

I don’t know what to do
Everything feels fine but untrue
I need the moment to meet
The demands I set at it’s feet

I’m a parakeet
I repeat and repeat
Then there is a subtle change
Takes me years to arrange

I will not take a walk
I willfully stay put and stew
I am focused on nothing
Hoping rote working will come through

I don’t know what to do
Everything feels fine but untrue
I need the moment to meet
The demands I set at it’s feet
