As soon as I get my bearings
That’s when it’s time to move again
This mass delusion we’re sharing
Makes it hard to know up from down 

Am I doing it all 
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong 
Does the world even need
Another song song song song song
I feel the quickening
I keep the channel open
A queer divine dissatisfaction 

Can’t say what’s valuable or good
I’m doing my best to keep it mine
I’m never pleased or satisfied 
No satisfaction whatever at anytime

The older I get the less I know
The more songs I write the less I’m sure
That I’m cut out for the big show
I go for the horizon but I’m lying in the dirt 

I can’t seem to get comfortable
The anxiety in my chest just keeps glowing 
I’ve never been good at standing still
I only know how to keep going

My new album I USED TO LOVE MY BODY is out NOW and available for download or streaming:

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.
