Cave paintings, smoke signals, writing in the sand
Throughout the ages, across the miles,
From heart to heart and hand to hand
The world grows close, the world expands
On foot, on horseback and by air,
Today through cyberspace
Connect. Respond. Network. Brag.
The medium is the message, and the message is clear.
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody care?
Here in this moment, we proclaim we’re alive
You have something to say, I’ve got something to share
The human connection, so deep and so true
Now digitally keeps me tethered to you

So many thought provoking pieces on this blog! I am extremely inspired.
A while back you asked me for lyrics to one of my songs. Apologies for the delay! This seems like the most fitting place to share.

Can you take this complicated lie and simplify it, please?
Go on, subscribe right to my pocket where it breathes
Well I’d love to get to know ya, I’ll go find you in the trees
Hang around representations of your memories
I see you’ve fought through pain, got podiums for legs
I think we could benefit from reciprocity
No 1995, no eye to eye
Oh see can you say
What were bound to
Become
Can you take this complicated lie and simplify it please?
It’s alive right in my pocket where it breeds
Indulge in life’s conveniences that brought you to your knees
Trim the fat and reap efficiency with ease
I’m sorry not today, face to face is such a pain
I might rate us as compatible anomalies
No 1995, no eye to eye
Oh see can you say
What were bound to
Become
