A character study, written in fall 2011 and recorded in April 2013. (This is a new version different from the one on the Nino Blankenship Bandcamp previously, though the backup vocals were carried over from that 2012 take)
lyrics
Blind gerbil
It's only what it feels to me
So offer up your sympathy
Blind gerbil
Why have it out to walk away
Can't you wait for me today
Go pick up that first class boarding pass
Say nothing to me, the die is cast
Blind gerbil
Shouldn't have to wake for now
Ocean Park will be around
Blind gerbil
Family is just a task
I'd prioritize them last
The mirror is clearly my best friend
So knowing it all, why sulk again?
Not trying to take your place in line
I've got all these needs I must refine
Blind gerbil
If we are to travel through
So much left you gotta do
Blind gerbil
Tag along my journey, please
Don't forget it's all for me
