about

An ode to the absurdity of existence.

lyrics

Something just landed on me
I do not think it was a bee
Or a C
But I think that it was telling me to flee
From ye

Someone just called out my name
I don't think it is a game
But I think it is the same
As throwing my brain
On the roulette wheel

How can you feel numb
When the dumb say the blind
Can see the deaf’s point of view
Hearing to you all day
-Cardinal Bluejay-
2X

Some foe who knows where I live
Took initiative to act all RoyGBiv
Should I get Bell Devoe
With the words I know
Or float away

Sometimes a bird in the hand
Isn’t worth a damn so I let it fly
Then ran with aplomb into the bush
Dreaming of the city and
A place to stay

How can you feel numb
When the dumb say the blind
Can see the deaf’s point of view
Hearing to you all day
-Cardinal Bluejay-
2X

Do you know how it feels to drown in oxygen?
Well share it with the class
All the plants will someday turn to
Rocks again
Cause living doesn't last
No living no no

Now you know how it feels to drown in oxygen?
Well share it with the class
All the plants will someday turn to
Rocks again
Cause living doesn't last
No living does not last
