Why I Breathe

Song 337

29 songs to go!

Today's song has an odd feel to it. It's mainly built off a mangled piano sound. There is a lot of spooky overtones to it. I haven't been sleeping very well lately and this song seems to be a direct response to that. Sleepy, but tense. Quiet but busy... and then LOUD NOISES! Sorry... anyway, yeah... I need some sleep soon, or crazy I will go.

lyrics

There's no simple explanation for why I breathe
Divine intervention or just a twist of fate
Makes no difference to me

Lying awake in a dreamless state
Endless thoughts and worries fraught
With perils I can't see

Just once I'd like to see the connections
A false disease, lost in the breeze
What does it all mean

Satellites hide in the skies
A world carries on unaware
It's not how it should be

There's no simple explanation for why I breathe
There's no simple explanation for why I breathe
