about

I use this as my closer a lot and like this song too much. Lakeshore Drive is a beautiful highway along the lakeside in the city, and this song is about missing home because of hurting too much.

lyrics

Now I lay me down to sleep
and I pray the Lord my soul do not keep
cuz every time I close my eyes, I see you smile
and I wouldn't mind not waking up for a while

I lose my mind every time
I know I try too hard
and I'm wasting life just sitting by and falling apart
I wonder why I can't decide if I should stay
don't be surprised when I don't believe you when you say
it'll be okay

To think of you, it makes me blue,
and I'm going insane
and I'm sick and tired,
I'm sick and tired of the same old thing

It's hard to eat, it's hard to sleep,
and I know you're why
don't be surprised when I don't believe you when you say
it's not goodbye

Oh Lord, you're why
I'm wishing on Lakeshore Drive
Oh, Lord, don't wake me this time.

about

The Uncertainty Index Chicago, Illinois

I have written many songs in my lifetime. None of them were written with any stability. I was always different when I created each album.

And so, each album is written by a different version of myself. One person. Much music. Many identities.

Enjoy the index of my life. May all intrigue and comfort you.
