New Normal
Liner Notes
Stream of consciousness #indiefolk song put to a comforting chord pattern, just recorded on my phone and tossed in my DAW to add a little sparkle. If I produce this one i'll structure it more and make it shorter, maybe around 4 minutes.
Lyrics
Forest on a hill, feeling ill, getting thrills
Most of those things can't explain all these themes
Hold it together, while you breathe warmer weather
Hold me up toward your light
We don't have to ask for much
Little tasks are getting done
Hold me close, and tell me secrets
Hope is lasting over the freezer
Running me back, running me back, running me back down
Running my back, running my mouth, running it all down hill
Waterfalls, waterslides, water inside, can you keep, can you keep this alive?
Pushing back, pushing back, pushing back
Giving in, giving in, giving in
Take it back, take it back, take it back
Everything that I ever went towards
Fight and scrape, and claw and burn
And fight and grow, and mope in snow
And all these things that you gotta know, gotta know
Cover yourself in blankets that your mother bought all those years back ago
Where do you find it, the inspiration, to reach out to the ones you know?
Hold me back, hold me back, from saying things that I, don't want to really say
How did I do it again?
I hold myself back again, I held myself back my friend
I held myself back because it didn't matter much
Anymore, anymore, oh you
Forgetting how to talk, forgetting how to run
Forgetting things I've done
Forgive these things I've done
In the back of my mind i'm still that good guy
In the back of my heart I can see the sunshine
In the back of my brain I can feel the old days
Slipping through like memories, you caught em too
Stuck on you like bramble and blackberries
Holding these stills, they hold me sanctuary
All those thoughts they're still the same
But these days they're just a little tainted
And that's just the new normal I know now
And that's just the new normal that I know now
