about

Lead single for my upcoming self-titled album "zweihandr", releasing January 1st 2024 on Skyline Tapes

"in this synthetic life I live
digital comfort is all I can give"

Opus #136
Originally written in an 8 hour marathon on 5/26/22

lyrics

looking at life through an lcd lens
i wake up and plug into the world i defend
perpetual strife into perpetual blear
is it getting blurry or was it ever clear

don't know how much longer of this life i can stand
wait for the right time or do it by hand
shallow perception, don't know what i perceive
leave my confinement, need to get up and leave

living the same day with different events
i guess leaving the house would simply make too much sense
watching the paint dry and i hate the shade
the walls are all brown and now my heart is afraid

stuck in a time loop, repeating again
guess i'm here forever so at least i made friends
miles away though, it seems they aren't alive
just six little people stored inside my hard drive

in this synthetic life i live
digital comfort is all i can give
it seems that all you do is worry
and through your tears your eyes are blurry

i wish that some way i could help
but here i am trapped in my hell
landlocked elysium, the water's just fine
digital upgrades and mortal decline

six in the morning, guess it's time to go sleep
just out of boredom instead of fatigue
wake up at sundown and do it again
guess my alarm didn't go off as planned

work all the day but there is never the chance
of getting it all done or much less advance
buried in projects that never succeed
but i made a promise so i'll never concede

in this synthetic life i live
digital comfort is all i can give
it seems that all you do is worry
and through your tears your eyes are blurry

wish that some way i could help
but here i am trapped in my hell
landlocked elysium, the water's just fine
digital upgrades and mortal decline
