It's Easy​/​Obscured

It's Easy 03:49
At night it feels so close as I slip into the sheets that world that slipped away, so easy And it seems so long ago that anyone would call or say anything at all to me But I don't miss it much, your chatter's like a crutch it's better to play dumb, so easy And of course I hear your every word there though you think I'm furniture it feels right to pretend I can disappear after all, I've earned this much At night he comes to me, the little man who sees the only one who knows how easy we laugh and drink and talk, he even makes me smile what, you don't believe? Too easy? Long ago I chose to keep to myself the worlds he brings me with his touch because I know if you knew that he'd disappear after all, I've earned this much You think that I've gone grey, my wits began to fade I like it more this way, it's easy and I know what's outside my window won't ever welcome me so I keep it out there I just keep it out there I know you think you know, I know you think you're grown someday you might feel how easy just try letting go from expectations so you'll be on your own, so easy

Obscured 05:05
Another day goes by, sunlight streaming on me I push the pen across pages think like virgin snow I know I've lived this before but I'm not sure who's seen me The days go on and on and stream like light through windows like tasting the ripest fruit do they change what does it matter Does it matter? I don't know why my hair grows long somehow my hunger grows meanwhile my soup grows cold I lay out the pages of my life in columns numbered dicerphering runes of ancients, who was he before me still I drink this in just like I did formerly Somehow I carry on, simple steps across the floor shade I feel, I've seen before obscured I know, what do I know what do I know?

about

Another in the Eargoggle's monthly "singles" series! Two songs about growing old, and about EG's Dad, who passed in 2023 (with a passing mention of a character in "The Borrowers" too). From the twangy psych-rock of "It's Easy" to the dark Floyd-ish synthwave of "Obscured."
