Laughing with everyone, but I didn't catch the joke.
Beaming from one to another, but I'm not sure why.
If it comes up again, I'll just pretend that I forgot.
Maybe I should be honest but my laughter is genuine.

Look down at your hands
Everybody look down at your hands
Stare at the ceiling for a while
How will you feel about this
10 minutes from now?
Just act natural!

Please shut up! Stop drowning in your own tears
Don't do anything you don't wanna do.
When you judge somebody, you're really just picking apart yourself,
and you only loved me when we were around nobody else.

Look down at my hands,
everybody have a look at my hands.
I needed this so bad.
How will I feel about this
10 minutes from now?
And where the fuck is my refund?!

Pull back on this rubber band until it's just about to break.
Let it soar across the room
And the only one that can change me is myself.
I'm testing the limits of my punchline
I'm testing the limits of my spirit.

This Is A Test, This Is Only A Test

This is a medley of two movements from my recently completed reed quintet, "@horse_ebooks."  Commissioned by the Atlantic Reed Consort, this jam contains music for the tweets "Why not explore the possibilities? You are just a few minutes" and "Is the dance floor calling? No" 

Enjoy! Thanks for listening!
