about
There's a band from Philadelphia called Catbite that I absolutely adore. The vocalist is named Brittany Luna and I am honored to have been able to sing this song with her.
Thank you to my bae Kevin Higuchi for rocking the drums, Randy Moore for playing guitars, and Steve Borth for the sax. Why didn't I play sax you ask? I suck!!
These past 7 months have been insane for me. It feels like groundhogs day meets twilight zone meets a bad dream. So much toxicity and anger and hatred and fighting. This song kind of sums up the way I've been feeling. Hope you'll give it a listen. I'll post a couple links in the comments to hear the song. Aight.... Be well, be healthy, be kind.
Peace, mike park
lyrics
IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN THIS WAY
SHAKING LIKE A VIOLET CRASH
FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY
IN A WORLD FULL OF HATE
AND I WONDER
I WONDER AND DOUBT
AND I WONDER
I WONDER ALOUD
IT'S NOT SO EASY HERE
THEY BRING FLOWERS TO THE TOP
AND LAY IT DOWN NEXT TO YOU
SOMEBODY HAD BROKEN
ALL THE LEGS ON THE PEW
AND I WONDER
I WONDER ALOUD
IT'S NOT SO EASY HERE
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IN QUICKSAND
FOREVER
FOREVER SINKING LOW
TOO MANY VOICES IN MY HEAD
STEERING ME INSTEAD
LIKE A DRUNKEN HEART
MENDING YOU INSIDE
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IN QUICKSAND
FOREVER
FOREVER SINKING LOW
