Track 7 of a 21 song album written and recorded in 21 days during lockdown in South Africa because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

lyrics

I think I’m slowly going crazy
I can’t decide if it’s me or the rest of the world
From the voices in my head I’ve been told
I’m the one who is normal
All the lines are blurred and hazy
And I just can’t figure out what is real
It’s getting way more harder to feel
Then reality hits me

Sometimes I want to stay inside
It’s easy on the eyes
I must avoid the light

I often wonder if I’m ok
And does everybody feel the same
Is all of this part of a game
I want to close my eyes and wish it away
I think we’re all a little broken
Perfection’s just something we say
If you look closely at the end of the day
There’s nothing wrong with ever feeling this way

Sometimes I want to stay inside
It’s easy on the eyes
I must avoid the light

It’s truly such a strange sensation
To come to terms with realisations
That I’m the problem and solution
It’ll probably never change
The universe is complicated
It’ll always stay the same

Sometimes I want to stay inside
It’s easy on the eyes
I must avoid the light
