about

Written on the back deck of a housetruck in Margaret River, WA.
Recorded and produced while stuck in Victoria's 7-month lockdown.
Oh, the irony.

lyrics

Still out on this journey
Looking for the master plan
But the windscreen is so dirty
That I can't see where I am
I somehow keep on coming back
To where it all began
A little older and a bit more scattered

Flying through the looking glass
Spreading my beliefs
I'm aware of underlying bitter irony
Cos when I land I hit the fan
Watch out for my debris
When I see that old reflection shatter

Well, the storm comes
I fill my sails
Chasing the sun
Don't wanna stay to feel the rain
But it gets me in the end
And brings me down
But for now, I guess
I get around

Breaking slowly at the seams
Picking up the pieces
Rearrange my dreams
But the mystery increases
These patterns are attractive
And they can be so hard to break
Try to deny it but the fact is
I've gotta own what I create
I've gotta own what I create

Well, the storm comes
I fill my sails
Chasing the sun
Don't wanna stay to feel the rain
But it gets me in the end
And brings me down
And how am I gonna keep on keep on getting round

When that storm comes
Maybe I’ll stow my sails
I’ve seen the sun
Now it’s time to feel the rain
When it gets me in the end
To wash me down
Cos some day I won’t be able
To get around

To get around
