lyrics

Alone again
just a question of when
the world always spins away from me
eventually

in my tin can
i'll just land on another planet
and make a new plan
it's all I can do

It's a solitary job
and here's what they don't tell you
you'll be talking to yourself by week three
it's a solitary job
but here's what they won't tell you
everyone will leave, eventually.
everyone will leave.

Push it all down
There isn't time
Another mission
on the line

Push it all down
The screaming alarm
the voice that tells me
that the clock's running down, down, down

It's a solitary job
but here's what they won't tell you
you'll never feel you got a good night's sleep
it's a solitary job
and here's what they don't tell you
everyone will leave, eventually.

The truth is, you can't push the truth away
it will haunt you, it will strand you,
drag you to the docking bay
It won't let you fly away

Alone again
I don't know why I try
to connect with anyone
it's not like it's fun.

Rebuilt my heart
And the whole rest of me
Replaced each part
Yet the pain won't come free

So I work a solitary job
and here are all my findings:
you can get real sick of you if you're the only one you see
it's a solitary job
and this fine print is binding:
everyone will leave, except for me.
I'm always left with me.

about

MIDI Myers Boston, Massachusetts

I'm an electro-pop musician who goes by "MIDI Myers," a tribute to my actual name (Maddy Myers) and the MIDI pad that I use when I play live, in conjunction with my keytar and live vocals. My lyrics often blend honest accounts of my own life experiences and anxieties with humor and pop culture allusions, all set to keytar leads, electronic drums, and a comprehensive bank of MIDI synths. ... more
