HELLO here is a pop song I wrote about my complicated relationship with news media... lol

Lyrics:
I hope next year will be better
The virus or otherwise
I've never hoped so hard for any single thing in my goddamn life

Can we change the subject
So we’re not talking about how I’m
Being defeatist and just wanting to disengage for the 15th time

Maybe I just grew up a cynic
Maybe I was just born that way
Maybe I’m just throwing back an echo
Like I’m smart enough to have a say

Maybe I never hoped that hard in the first place
Maybe it’s hard to hope that hard in the first place

I just want something and nothing at all
Feels like the world’s tied a weight around my soul
I wanna feel something and nothing at all
Could I turn the TV off? Could I turn the TV off?

Am I apathetic?
Or do I just care too much?
Why is it easier to just tap out and board the windows up?

I can’t pretend to know better
I’m full of shit myself
Blind to my privilege, projecting all of my insecurities out

Maybe I just grew up a cynic
Maybe I was just born that way
Maybe I’m just throwing back an echo
Like I’m smart enough to have a say

Maybe I never hoped that hard in the first place
Maybe it’s hard to hope that hard in the first place

I just want something and nothing at all
Feels like the world’s tied a weight around my soul
I wanna feel something and nothing at all
Could I turn the TV off? Could I turn the TV off?

Maybe it’s hard to hope that hard in the first place
But maybe that’s why we should hope hard in the first place
I just want something and nothing at all
Feels like the world’s tied a weight around my soul
I wanna feel something and nothing at all
Could I turn the TV off? Could I turn the TV off?

Turn The TV Off

Here it is - 'September', the first single from the #GeoffOngBostonEP! 

Download it for free if you want. Music is for sharing =)

This song is named after the month of my birth, September. Each birthday for me seems to serve as an annual reminder of the accelerating passage of time, and the fact that I still have no freaking idea what I'm doing with my life. 

It was from this feeling of anxiety and directionlessness that this song was created. It is an anthem for the twentysomething in all of us.

Lyrics:

Another year and I still can't get to sleep 
It's starting to hit me now my youth ain't gon repeat, yeah 
Look in the mirror and I wonder what it's there for 
It just reminds me that I don't know who I am anymore 

I'm treading water 

Oh, September, tell me where do I go? 
Can someone prove to me that I'm not alone? 
Oh, September, tell me what do I do? 
Why don't I feel like I'm living it like I should? 
I should 

Everybody's just waiting on a plane 
To carry them off to their new chapters, their new days 
I ain't content
This ain't the way I want it to align 
Why am I the one to still be trapped inside my mind 

I'm treading water 

Oh, September, tell me where do I go? 
Can someone prove to me that I'm not alone? 
Oh, September, tell me what do I do? 
Why don't I feel like I'm living it like I should? 
I should
