The second single from my upcoming album The Comfortable Dark, available July 23rd on all platforms.

Lyrics:

Who are you?
Who are you tryna fool?
Who am I? Gotta tell a guy the truth

What are we? What are we tryna do?
In a dream we confuse ourselves

I believe that belief is a ruse
And I think—when you think
You diffuse what you seek from your views
You don't mean to dilute but you do
Sue me

This disease is a weakness of choosing
Not a bug. It's a feature to do it
And I trust in the sequence of stupor
My cup isn't clean when it's too full
Lets just be truthful

In the heat of the moment
We believe we can see to the future
And the past is a weight on our shoulders
Our brain cannot hold us
It's pulling me

It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me down

It's offing me awfully often
My thoughts are impossible
Stop me if this sounds familiar
My will is unstoppable (unstoppable)
My awesomeness stems from desire for competency

That has a consequence
Knowledge is not the cure-all that it's thought to be
I am your novelty
I am your god and your prophecy
Stop calling me

It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
It's pushing me, it's pulling me
I can't keep going like this
I can't keep going like this

Hear the Album!

the way i feel
is nothing new
is nothing real


AN ARTIST?

i'm not a creator
i'm just a collector
of  reality's reflections

my realities
and what i've not on purpose came upon

i choose the right to crack them and combine them and collide and line them into something ...unspeakable..

This IS

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement. If you listen and leave a comment I always try to listen to *your* music when responding! If you follow at random without any feedback I hope you get something out of that too... ; )
