Note
If you ignore who is inside you are incomplete
Attempt to ignore who is outside
Talk to the sheep as if you have authority

Hold your hands to yourself
Pretend you are dead
Lock yourself at the door
Facing into emptiness you feel scorn

You persist, you rumble, you thud and the wind beating
It is as though the sun shone naturally all day
And you wanted as if off with the wool from your head
But you are in fact you were waiting on the other side

Shake and scrape 
The cornerstones
Slipped by the train
And still the wheels slide after

Have you slept all night in the place
That is inhabited by two different names
And no one remains sure of which

Let morning come eat something slow
Do something true, avoid looking down
Be visible to all who are not 
watching do not turn away

Be on someone’s tongue
Listen to your own tongue
Do not read until you can hear it

Talk to someone else who says that you should be
Ignore people that you trust though you may turn to them
In spite of yourself and a subsequent 

person who does not like you in the first place
Do not repeat that they are wrong
If you are wrong to report them wrong
Resume the courage in yourself

To confront the truth
Contemplate things as they are 
Do not become generasant 
Train yourself to behave like others
Resist yourself 
Do not be afraid

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 10+ 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.
