about

This song speaks to the compounding of my social and executive functioning challenges amidst the isolation of the pandemic, and how everything seems so much more difficult than it should.

lyrics

Pick up the telephone
No connection, line is dead
Walk to the corner
Nothing behind, nothing ahead
Spinning in circles
Round and round and round
Shouldn’t be this difficult
Trying to make a sound

I’m staring into the void

Feels like mercury retrograde
Is happening every day
Again and again and again and again and again
This isn’t going to go away
Maybe it’s the price we pay
For being human

Losing to isolation
Teetering on the brink
I can blame the world around me
Or I can change the way I think

Feels like mercury retrograde
Is happening every day
Again and again and again and again and again
This isn’t going to go away
Maybe it’s the price we pay
For being human
Feels like I’m going insane
What is happening to my brain
These days these days these days
This isn’t going to go away
Maybe it’s the price we pay
For being human
Being human
