Once I was lost
But now I’m found
My heart was a roller coaster
All of my eggs
into one basket
Two pieces of bread in the toaster

Mostly I found myself
Watching the rain
Waiting for someone to come

Caught in the fog
My legs both give out
And I’m not the dog
Who lives in your house

Trees made of silicon
And the fruit comes apart
One by one we falter
Until there’s nothing left
But skin and bone fragments
And a skinny skeleton named Walter

What does it mean
When you’re in the machine
And you’re waiting for someone to come

Now I see you
Mirror on mirror
The day spilling out of your body
Up here we’re gods
The air’s so much clearer
Though the reception is spotty

I give you a present
It’s lost in the present
I give you the past and the future



Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 9+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
