about

Our bodies are an ocean home to trillions of microorganisms, effecting our lives in ways that we’re only beginning to understand. We are an ecosystem, critically dependent on the balance of life both inside and out. This song is written from the perspective of a specific virus that just about all of us carry throughout our lives. It’s a passenger on our journey, for better or worse; a part of who we are forever.

lyrics

Its nice to be here
I think I’ll stay forever
Its not like it seems
The place is perfect
Its easy to hide
When you’re doing nothing wrong

Its only forever for you
A vessel in an ocean
Friend and foe a construct

Barring the unforeseen
I am patient unless you are
This world is dark and electric
I just want to exist
In memory

Keep it together and we’ll ride this thing out
Nothing last forever for you

I’m not so certain there a remedy
When it all seems so perfect and true
Buy all the time that you can
Just don’t expect to take it with you
