I Finally Realize

written & performed by Hook

You seem to know but do I really care
You seem to be all around and I'm nowhere
And if I'm lost where would I be
if someone found me

I drift and I float
Hovering above in a trench-coat
A sullen look upon my face
Would I let you take my place?

You seem rock solid and I'm inflatable
A seal upon your seems while I am so fallible
And if I'm lost where would I be
If someone found me

Time drifts and passes
watching from above through horn rimmed glasses
A distant look within my eyes
A reality I finally realize

I drift and I float
Hovering above in a trench-coat
Time drifts and passes
watching from above through horn rimmed glasses

A sullen look upon my face
Would I let you take my place?
A distant look within my eyes
A reality I finally realize

Great track Bro, very nice chord changes in this. Is that a distorted Uke - sounds like a lead guitar? Great lyrics as always.

Wot? Only one comment?

This is very tasty.

I often read your intros and think "wot no guitar?!" and then don't miss it at all when I'm listening

. Mighty cool uke-ery

I, too, have been using thumbjam of late. It's good to hear what you're doing here so that maybe I can incorporate this style a bit more into my recordings. I really like the music here. The lyric and vocal is good, too, but I'm really drawn to the arrangement and playing/recording.

Okay, that lyric grabbed me out of my musical thoughts.. Using trenchcoat and inflatable definitely got my attention. That first verse is very good, my favorite bit lyrically.
