2008. I recorded this track on my laptop as an idea for song. The actual song sounds very different nowadays and is also still unrecorded. I'm planning on releasing the proper version on something very soon.

lyrics

Considering you don't know it's all around us
Something in the air laced with an ancient since
Give me one more day to figure out myself
and I'll quiet down and learn to tame my lions

It's just dyed in the wool
That no message can get through
Yeah, even I can't lay me down
If there's a problem then rue
that one day we'll all act like you
but why even scare ourselves now?

Even if you don't I'll justify myself
Cause and effect are measurements in time
Despite if it's true, I'll dignify these shelves
with achievements symbolizing i'm alive

I wish the sky wasn't blue
I wish I could always think of you
To remind myself not to let me down
If there's a problem or two
Maybe one day I'll be less confused
and finally figure it all out.
