about

I wrote this after watching the movie White Noise. I was reading the news on my phone in bed and all the headlines read like some absurd dark joke. I pulled up my notepad and wrote this.

lyrics

Reflexively reaching
creeping for answers
a blue light shines in the night
I know I should sleep
the answers will keep
until the next mornings find me

oh don't it gnaw you
oh it won't stop to
let you catch your breath

oh don't it vex you
oh and perplex you
how could you catch a breath

lying awaking
sniffling shaking
laughter would do just as well
what can you do
when life is just clues
to what sort of game we're all playing

oh don't it dog you
oh it's a slog to
just try and catch your breath

oh don't it hound you
oh and confound you
how do you catch a breath

I'm sure the answers are just around the corner
I'm sure the answers will make it make sense
I'm sure the answers are just what I'm looking for
I'm sure the answers are playing pretend

oh don't it gnaw you
oh it won't stop to
let you catch your breath

oh don't it vex you
oh and perplex you
how could you catch a breath?
