Born into and out of chaos
Tell the truth the rest I’ll make up
Small reward for token labours
Scant regard for what defines us
Unprepared for what’s to come
Unimpressed with all I’ve done 

Everything and all at once it’s crazy 
How much can one mind take
Putting me into a thousand places
What if I just don’t want to change
Why the need to go and face the world 
No surprise I didn’t fare so well
Everything and all at once it’s crazy
That’s my idea of hell

Raised to be everything I’m not
Give me everything I don’t want
Opportunity to be like
Every person that I don’t like
Schooled in mediocrity 
Make your mark but don’t exceed

Everything and all at once it’s crazy 
How much can one mind take
Putting me into a thousand places
What if I just don’t want to change
Why the need to go and face the world 
No surprise I didn’t fare so well
Everything and all at once it’s crazy
That’s my idea of hell

Grown to be the person you see
Surface deep so eager to please 
Average is what’s expected 
Noticed never liked respected
Smile and hide the screams behind
The mask that tells a thousand lies 

Everything and all at once it’s crazy 
How much can one mind take
Putting me into a thousand places
What if I just don’t want to change
Why the need to go and face the world 
No surprise I didn’t fare so well
Everything and all at once it’s crazy
That’s my idea of hell

Everything And All At Once

Taken 60 years but I’ve finally started writing regularly. My twelve playlists were written and recorded over the past six years. 
The recordings were all put together using GarageBand.
