Time it is my enemy, it only leads one place
Wish I could get off this ride and melt into your face
Sometimes I really try to pack things in
But then I get the feeling I can’t win, and I’m frozen
I know action does it, but some action has no use
Goals have taught me what it’s like to chase a wild goose
Sometimes I just pretend that time is fake
‘Cause here and now is all that I can make any sense of
On hold, in waiting mode
Future plans make present tense erode
Thoughts cast into the past
Push aside what’s real with something old
Time time time time time, you are my enemy for sure
Watch my body crumble and then see me to the door
Maybe the problem isn’t time, per se
Just that I can only feel it move one way with my senses
On hold, in waiting mode
Future plans make present tense erode
Thoughts cast into the past
Shading out what’s real with something old
Try to do something new. Not everything’s been done already! (Everything’s been done)
Try to see who we can be. Not in our final forms already! (We are who we are)
Try to go where we’ll outgrow the ways we’ve come up short already (We’re bound to come up short)
Can’t wait until another day, because there’s only ever one long day (There is no other day)
When I wrote these songs, I didn’t have a band. I invited every musician I could think of to come learn them for a show in three weeks, and we ended up making a record! Day Dreems
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
