about

I wrote this with my bandmates from london, ontario. This was one of those 'it just came together' type situations. We played this one at our last in-person practice together.

Every songwriter needs a pandemic song right?

lyrics

I guess it's just another day on the brink
I drown in coffee and then I drown in drink
Hide headlines, plug my ears, duck the feed
All while teaching my sweet boy how to read

Something's wrong with me
I'm thanking God for the good TV
I miss the faces down the street
So shut me out and lie to me
I'm so drunk on the tragedies
I get worried when I'm happy

I know that boredom is a new fear to me
All my houseplants can see right through to me
Is it Sunday, yeah it's Sunday, no it's Monday
Have I worried yet about my body?

Something's wrong with me
I've got Icebergs in my dreams
I'm so damn worried about the bees
so shut me out and lie to me
when the bird's lost phenology
shut me out and lie to me

so shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out

Something's wrong with me
I'm thanking God for the good TV
I miss the faces of enemies
So shut me out and lie to me
I'm riddled with anxiety
but I'll relearn how to be happy
but I'll relearn how to be happy

so shut me out shut me out shut me out
shut me out shut me out shut me out
so shut me out shut me out shut me out
shut me out shut me out shut me out
