Hey, Ok, Whatever, It's Your Void
Channel: Jonathan Mann
Date: 05/09/2019

First one in
Last one to leave
Invite you for drinks 
But you’re never free
Hey, ok, whatever, it’s your void

Party after party
It’s 5am
Your skin is on fire
You’ll sleep when you’re dead
Hey, ok, whatever, it’s your void

Everybody’s cancelled
You’re drowning in takes
C ould go for a walk 
But you can’t look away 
Hey, ok, whatever, it’s your void

Staring up at the stars 
Or into the fire
Charcoal to stone
Some unnamed desire
3am thoughts
Dreams or a nightmare
Huddled in trees 
Beauty and terror

Feet on the trail
4am sharp
No no excuses
You go hard
Hey, ok, whatever, it’s your void

Soccer practice
And then violin
Gotta read them Harry Potter
And teach them to swim
Hey, ok, whatever it’s your void

Noticing emotions
Watch them ebb
Silence for months
Sitting crosslegged 
Hey, ok, whatever, it’s your void

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.
