lyrics

Stuck inside a padded box
Drawing parallels, taking stock
What will you draw from your topical depression, and on and on and on?

Invite you in but you know I can't
Stand at the door and hear you rant
If I were you I'd like to do the same

Everyone's turned on themselves and each other
Hit us again and give us another
Oh, just to paddle away to a sandbar we mistake for an island

Hiding from the fire smoke
Curling 'round your tender throat
How will you beat back your topical depression, and on and on and on?

We dream of meeting in our tiny room
And not around a viral tomb
But which is likelier, I wish I knew

Everyone's turned on themselves and each other
Hit us again and give us another
Oh, we pine for the day when we can breathe freely and without any cover
And I'm just strumming away to a bridge that needs a sturdier structure

This is simply brilliant music from an incredibly talented individual who I think very likely sang every harmony and played every instrument on this album! There is a freeness and happiness to this music that makes you feel the joy of existence! Day’s Sgt. Pepper and only the first solo record out of the gate! This is the sound of a musician at the top of their craft. I am very proud of Day and this creation- a magnificent, pop opus! Nathaniel T. Lesser
