In a fit of hyperfocus last night, I decided to put together a stock footage video for, This is Fine (Blissful Ignorance), from my latest EP. It's a bit cheesy, but I really like how it turned out.

Lyrics 
There may be fires burning in my backyard 
But I've been busy watering the lawn
And while I might admit that it isn't hard
To figure out just what's been going on

I know that I would get right to it
If I only had the chance 
But until then I’ll have to get by
On blissful ignorance 

I'm just a bit overwhelmed by everything 
And now I can't tell where I should begin
I just don't see how I can do anything
To dig my way out of this hole I’m in 

So I retreat to a position 
Of desperate indifference 
And do what I can do distract myself 
Into blissful ignorance 

Why can’t I just stay ahead 
And out of my head

I know I just need to choose some place to start 
It doesn’t really make a difference where 
Stop letting indecision tear me apart 
And finally let myself come up for air

It's long past time for me to notice 
That it just doesn't make much sense
To keep on running away from my life
Into blissful ignorance
