about

written by me (Chris) in November 2011, another character study.

original take was recorded at home around march 17, 2012 for drums/piano/bass, vocals (lead and backup) around march 21 or so in Sactown. new piano and drum tracks were dialed in on april 15, with a Rhodes piano rhythm track added the following day in Sacramento.

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
