Grey Matter
22F# C# Fm D#
Memories unfolding
Chunks of electricity dislodged
The hand you thought you were holding
Is actually a figment of your head and it isn't there at all
My synapse
My folded gray
Matter making me do and say
Whatever I have to to survive
This is a matter of life and death
I didn't ask to be alive
But I will fight till i have nothing left
Dark doors unlocking
Whispered voices that speak to me
I can't see who's talking
If I could see I'd clearly know just how to be
My chemicals
My DNA
Churning making me do and say
Whatever I have to to survive
This is a matter of life and death
I didn't ask to be alive
But I will fight till i have nothing left
Fm D#
I thought all the wires had been severed
C# D#
But I soldered them back together
it's an always risky sad endeavor
Turning back on the lights
Waves of heat come flooding
It's a system overload
The picture's dark, the signal's muddy
And we're on the dark side of the road
My heart beats
Says bombs away
My lungs contract and I'll do or say
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.
