Here's, The Brain Fog Blues, the first single from my upcoming album, Forgotten Friend.
All of the songs on the album are deliberately, raw and lo-fi. It's not a perfect performance and the recording is a bit messy, but the vibe is there.

Lyrics 

Verse 1
Yes, I know how it looks
and I'll concede 
that I may seem thoughtless
but please don't misread       
I just can't make myself
do so many things I need to do
                    
I've always wished that I
could change my ways
though it might look different 
on my better days,
but then I'm right back to
stumbling through this maze, it's true.

Chorus 
Sometimes it feels like 
I'm on top of everything,
but then the fog rolls in again
And I can't  say which way
my mind is gonna swing.
Just that it will so then,
it's all a matter of when

Verse 2
But now and then it all 
changes midstream
and suddenly I hit the 
opposite extreme.
Tunnel vision tales me and I 
just can't seem to look away

So, every hour I watch
a day go by.
Can't think of anything else,
but why would I try.
It's all I care about,
though if you asked me why, I couldn't say

(Chorus) 

Bridge
If only I could keep my mind
from leading me astray,
then maybe  I might finally find
a reason to stay and not just drift away

(Chorus)

End Chorus
Yeah, I might feel like 
I'm on top of everything, 
but the fog's rolling in again.
And I can't say which way 
my mind is gonna swing.
Just that it will so then.
maybe it doesn't matter when
