about

The 'whistling mockingbird' is in reference to a dream I had in which I would sing different melodies to a mockingbird and if it liked it, it would whistle it back to me and then I knew I should record it.

lyrics

Back and forth
It's all the latter chatter
I got circling me
Louder
Come on sicko I know you're hearing me
Let me back, let me back
I promised to be good I'm in love with a time machine
It's easy come easy go
Catching the brain flow spinning just right at earth speed

I'm twisted up in love with every
Turn you make
I'm finally awake
I feel the same I'm just watered down
Watered down like everything's humid
And I'm strangely content
Yeah

Woke and broke
I feel the love most when
I'm staring down the edge
Laugh it off
Cash-claw zig-saw
Beying for happiness
Melody
Whistling mockingbird
forever asking to sing
Grind it out love labour is'nt a labour
When you're part of a living thing

I'm twisted up in love with every
Turn you make
I'm finally awake
I feel the same I'm just watered down
Watered down like everything's humid
And I'm strangely content
Yeah

With you I found
How to dream on the ground
Our backs with the wind
Head down merrily rowin

With you I found
How to dream on the ground
Our backs with the wind
Head down merrily rowin

Hit the fifth
I feel the love most when I'm
Staring down the edge
Louder
Whistling mockingbird forever at my door
So scared excited primed
Just to see what you got lying in store

I'm twisted up in love with every
Turn you make
I'm finally awake
I feel the same I'm just watered down
Watered down like everything's humid

I'm twisted up in love with every
Turn you make
I'm finally awake
I feel the same I'm just watered down
Watered down like everything's humid
And I'm strangely content
And I'm strangely content
