about

2020 single. Special thanks to the Dane County Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission.

lyrics

Day in, day out
Stay in, keep it out
Who to trust, what to read, parse it out

The sirens wail
The fighter jets roar
The songbirds sing
and the wind keeps on whispering

Thoughts are only stories

I don't relate but the choices you make, I don't judge
Take care of yourself but don't throw someone else under the bus
You know it's not for you
You know as well as I do
It's time to be something new

Rinse the greens
You plant the seeds
and pull the weeds
Speak your dreams

The family chats
The online spats
You feed the cats
and time elapses

Clean the doors
The grocery wars
We can't afford
Engage or ignore

Engage or ignore you

I think I'm right but I'm not gonna fight you right now
And yes, I know about biases, logical fallacies, and all
And if this is life then I hope I can find it in me
You know it's not for you
You know as well as I do
It's time to be something new

Is this the weight of a nation I feel on me now?

Heat the oil
Work the soil
Save the jar
Dealer starts

I want to stay with this feeling
It's nothing and it's everything
I want to stay with this feeling
The day to day routine is actually the living
