about

I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy with Cataplexy in late 2015. I've dealt with the symptoms since I was a teenager. I wrote this song before I knew I had narcolepsy, but it was about the symptoms I was experiencing. I also played the bass!

lyrics

When I'm walking I feel like I'm falling
I do all I can do to keep from falling
I've been getting to sleep by losing days
I find that this is just one of my old ways

My brain is moving too fast in my head
But when it's time to get up, I stay in bed
Light comes through my window every morning
But when I unclench my chest it gets to storming

I'm grinding my teeth on the ways in which I dream
And I can't speak in the ways in which I mean

There is starlight like water in my eyes
When I wake up from sleep I rub my eyes
I feel myself leave from my body
But I don't see it at all I see nobody

I'm grinding my teeth on the ways in which I dream
And I can't speak in the ways in which I mean

When I'm walking I feel like I'm falling
I do all I can do to keep from falling
I've been getting to sleep by losing days
I find that this is just one of my old ways

I'm grinding my teeth
I'm grinding my teeth
I'm grinding my teeth
I'm grinding my teeth

There's something spiritual, otherworldly in this album. It's light where you need it, and heavy in just the right places. For fans of: feminist alt-country. Favorite track: Sacred Sacrum. Porch Cat
