Listen to 'I Am Music'.
Been making music since 1999. I have recently begun to branch out into every Genre. Who knows what you'll find here.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We used to hang out on the back porch at night
No plans, no phones, just passing the time
Laughing too loud till the cops rolled slow
That was the world... a lifetime ago
[Verse 2]
Now some of you vanished three states away
So many of you buried where flowers decay
The rest got kids, jobs, and a calendar wall
There’s never a gap where my name could fall
[Chorus]
I’m not mad, I’m just tired
Of pretending a text is the same
I miss when “I miss you
Meant I’d see you again
This is how it goes now
We’re connected, but never around
Closer than ever, farther than we know
Faces lit up by a... Cold, blue glow.
[Echo fade: Cold Blue Glow]
[Verse 3]
I still walk the blocks where we used to roam
Past the diner that’s shuttered, the payphone gone
I half expect one of you to appear
Say “hey man, been forever like you’re still here
[Verse 4]
But the sidewalks stay empty, the screens stay bright
Everyone’s living just out of sight
A thumbs-up, a heart, then the moment’s gone
Love in a pocket that never rings long
[Chorus]
I’m not mad, I’m just tired
Of pretending a text is the same
I miss when “I miss you
Meant I’d see you again
This is how it goes now
We’re connected but never around
Closer than ever, farther than we know
Faces lit up by a... Cold, blue glow.
[Bridge]
It's not that I'm yearning for the tech absent past,
I'm just missing that connection that comes with a laugh,
It's not closeness we're gaining, the isolation creeps slow,
We're losing a fight with the... Cold, blue glow
[Final Chorus]
I’m not mad, I’m just tired
Of pretending a text is the same
I miss when “I miss you
Meant I’d see you again
This is how it goes now
We’re connected but never around
Closer than ever, farther than we know
Faces lit up by a... Cold, blue glow.
[Outro]
call to say you're coming,
text if you must to let me know,
but don't send anything else,
'cause I'm tired of the... Cold, blue glow.
