about

The bulk of this track was made via remote collaboration during the height of shelter in place in 2020.

lyrics

Another day goes by
Another sunset
Another quiet night alone

Don't wanna say goodbye
Try not to worry
but don't know how much longer I can go

Cuz my mind keeps spinnin as I try to listen for a sign
it'll be okay
I just wanna go back, go back to yesterday

But the time keeps tickin you have to keep keepin on
living somehow, some way
so I'm reaching out I need you now before the ceiling caves

I don't wanna lose connection
Just doing what I have to do to get by
Staring at my true reflection
got me stressin out, tell me it's alright
Send me a message

Can anybody hear me?
It's kinda scary hearing all these thoughts so clearly
hanging on barely
where did all the noise go?
eerily still as I try and fill the void but is this my real voice though?
Been running for a long time
Finally slowing down, guess these problems are all mine
guess I'll get back online
Just a minor setback, soon it'll be all fine
we'll get back to normal again
stumbling through formalities, ignoring the wind
chasing down salaries and losing our friends
drifting apart from our families as we all pretend not to notice
but lately all I see is the bogus
the hatred and greed in the dreams that they sold us
the truth is, we're all we got and now I know this
the world stop but love kept it going

I don't wanna lose connection
Just doing what I have to do to get by
Staring at my true reflection
got me stressin out, tell me it's alright
Send me a message

(sittin inside with the lights down low got me thinking bout time and the places we'd go. All this empty space got me pacing back and forth getting desperate, somebody help me)

Send me a message.
